BIOLOGY FRES TEST #1

First test in Biology over diffusion, mitosis, meiosis, cell organelles,etc

QuestionAnswer
Diffusion The movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentrtation.
Brownian Movement The movement in which everything goes in a straight line until something acts on it.
What is an example of the Brownian Movement? Molecules, atoms, and ions all move in a straight path until they hit something and bounce off of it due to kinetic energy.
What are the factors that affect diffusion? Concentration, Pressure, Temperature, and Size of Molecule
Homeostasis An organism's ability to maintain a constant internal balance despite environmental changes.
How many layers does a cell membrane have? What does each layer do? 2. The inside is hydrophilic, so loves water. The outside is hydrophobic, so fears water.
What does it mean to be selectively permeable? Substances pass through the cell membrance fast, slowly, or not at all.
What is a selectively permeable membrane's movement controlled by? Size of molecule, Concentration, Structure/Composition of Molecule, Conditions inside/outside of cell, Water Solubility
Passive Transport... Requires no energy.
Osmosis The diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrance.
What are the three forms of osmosis? Hypotonic, Hypertonic, and Isotonic.
When a cell is hypotonic... The fluid outside of the cell has a lower concentration of solutes than inside the cell, so water rushes in to reach homeostasis. The water bursts inside the cell.
When a cell is hypertonic... The fluid outside a cell has a higher concentration than inside the cell so water ruches outside to reach homeostasis. The cell shrivels up.
When a cell is isotonic... The cell has the same concentration on the inside and outside. The cell is in equilibrium to solution. There is little movement in our out of the cell.
Active Transport... Needs energy to move materials against a concentration gradient. It is the movement from low concentration to high concentration.
What are the five types of active transport? Exocytosis, Endocytosis, Pinocytosis, Phagocytosis, and Facilitated Diffusion.
Exocytosis When particles are expelled from a cell.
Endocytosis When particles enter a cell.
What are the two types of Endocytosis? Pinocytosis and Phagocytosis.
Pinocytosis Small particles and liquids are engulfed by cell.
Phagocytosis Large particles are engulfed by the cell.
Facilitated Diffusion Diffusion with help.
Mitosis Once a cell reaches a certain size, they reproduce by cell division.
List the five phases of mitosis in order. Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase.
Interphase THe normal daily function of a cell. It makes proteins and enzymes. 90% of the cell's life is during this phases. In it, it makes a copy of the DNA.
Prophase Spindle fibers form. Chromatin forms chromosomes. Nuclear membrane dissapears.
Metaphase Chromosomes line along the equator of the cell. Spindle fibers attach to the centromere.
Centromere The middle part connecting a chromosome.
Anaphase 2 sets of chromosomes move to opposite ends of the cell. Centromeres divide.
Telophase Last stage of mitosis. New nuclear membrane forms. Chromatin reforms. Spindle dissapears. Division is complete.
For plants, what happens during telophase? Cleavage furrow forms.
Cytokinesis The end of mitosis; there are two new cells
N The set of chromosome.
Diploid 2N=46 total chromosomes.
Haploid N=23 chromosomes.
What is the difference between Meiosis and Mitosis? Meiosis-Occurs in reproductive cells and is for sexual reproduction. Mitosis-Doesn't occur in reproductive cells and is for growth and repair.
List the levels of organization in order. atom, molecule, organelle, cell, tissue, organ, organ system, organism, population, community, ecosystem, biosphere.
What are the characteristics of life? Made of one or more cells, organization, growth and development, reproduction, respond to stimuli, requires energy, maintains homeostasis, adaptation.
Mitochondria Powerhouse of the cell; provides energy for the cell.
Golgi Apparatus Mail Man; packages macromolecules for transport elsewhere in the cell.
What does the nuclear memrane do? Acts as a cell membrane, but for a nucleus.
Cytoplasm The soup; what the organelles live in.
Chloroplast Makes plants green.
Ribosome produces proteins.
Endoplasmic Reticulum UPS system of cells; transports things around the cell. Rough type has ribosomes and smooth one does not.
Vacuole Stores materials.
Cell Membrane Allows materials in and out of the cell.
Cell Wall Only found in plants, helps keep a plant's structure.
Lysosome Digests materials.
What do all cells have? All cells have a cell membrane and cytoplasm.
What cell structures do all eukaryotes have? All eukaryotes have a nucleus, cytoplasm, a cell membrane, and vacuoles.
What is the difference between the structure of plant and animal cells? Animal cells are round and plant cells are square.
What are the three major differences between plant and animal cells? Cell Wall, Chloroplast, Shape.
Why do cells have different sizes and shapes? Because they have different functions and cell structures.
Prokaryote unicellular organism with no nucleus or other membrane-bound organelles.
Eukaryote unicellular organism with nucleus and organelles.
Differences between eukaryotes and prokaryotes Eukaryotes have a nucleus and are bigger than prokaryotes.
Where are ribosomes made? In the nucleolis
If the eyepiece has a power of 20 and the objective has a power of 10, what is the magnification? 200
How do you find the magnification? eyepiece x objective
How many cells split in meiosis? 2
How many cells are at the end of meiosis? 4
What part of the experiment do you compare to the independent variable? control
Dependent Variable Data collected in experiment
Independent Variable The thing that changes in an experiment
What remains the same in experiments? constants
Cancer Mitosis gone wild; uncontrolled cell division
Metastatis A disease that spreads to multiple organs
Benign "well born" mild or non-productive disease
Malignant "bad born" severe and progressively worsening disease.
Carcinogen cancer causing agents
What are the four major carcinogens? tobacco, charbroiled foods, chemicals, UV radiation
