| what do enzymes do | allow biochemical reactions |
| what do hormones do | regulate and control body functions |
| what are antibodies | primary defense against antigens |
| antigen | foreign substance that causes body to produce antibodies, when introduced to body |
| what role do lipids play within the cell | *structural component of cell membrane *thermal insulator *provide energy storage and fuel |

| what is the role of RNA within a cell | *Single strand(helix) *found in nucleus and cytoplasm *messanger and transfer RNA *protein synthesis |
| what is the role of DNA within a cell | *found only in nucleus *double helix *hold nitrogenous bases *contain 5-carbon sugar(pentose, which is a monosaccharide) *phosphoric acid bonds *contains all hereditary info *found on chromosome *most radiosensitive MM *contains codon |
| what makes up the side rails of DNA ladder | alternating sugar and phosphate molecules |
| what makes up rungs of DNA ladder | pairs of nitrogenous bases(one purine and one pyrimidine) |
| a series of 3 adjacent bases in one polynucleotide chain of a DNA or RNA molecule, which codes for a specific amino acid | codon |
| basic unit of matter, consists of nucleus and surrounded by negatively charged electrons | atom |
| (A#) number of protons and neutrons in a nucleus | atomic mass |
| (Z#) number of protons in a nucleus | atomic number |
| two atoms that have same number of protons but different number of neutrons/same atomic number different atomic mass | isotope |
| group of 8 e- in outermost shell, cannot chemically combine | octet |
| determines the chemical binding ability of an atom | valence |
| constancy of internal environment | homeostasis |
| what is the second level of cellular composition | organelles |
| what is an organelle | small organ within a cell with specific functions |
| what are the different types of organelles within a cell | *endoplasmic reticulum *golgi aparatus *lysosomes *mitochondria *ribosomes |
| organelle found within the cytoplasm that functions as channels whereby nucleus communicates with cytoplasm | endoplasmic reticulum |
| organelle that concentrates and packages secretion products (mailman) | golgi apparatus |
| organelle that contains enzymes capable of digesting cellular fragments and sometimes the cell itself | lysosomes |
| where macromolecules are digested to produce cellular energy, known as the workhorse or engine of the cell | mitochodria |
| small organelle, which is the site of protein synthesis | ribosomes |
| what is the third level of cellular composition | the cell |
| what is a cell | basic living subunit, within any living organism |
| has single helix strand, found in and outside of nucleus, and comes in messanger, and transfer varieties | ribonulceic acid(RNA) |
| the most radiosensitive of all macromolecules, since it contains genetic info. found inside of nucleus and controls cell function | deoxyribonucleic acid(DNA) |
| this part of the cell is made of lipid-protein that selectively allows small molecules and water to diffuse and provide structure and form | cell membrane |
| outside of nucleus but within plasma membrane, contains organelles and all living things within a cell, made of 70%-90% water | cytoplasm/protoplasm |
| what are the basic functions of the cell membrane | *protein synthesis- genetic code contained in DNA tells which protein to be produced *code transfers to mRNA within nucleus, mRNA leaves via ER on way to ribosome, where it is tranferred to tRNA. tRNA searches cytoplasm for the coded amino acid. |
| what is the next step after tRNA finds the amino acid that matches the code it carries | it attaches to the amino acid and carries it to the ribosome, where it joins other amino acids in sequence by peptide bonds to form protein molecule. |
| what happens if there is any interference with any of the sequences of protein synthesis | could result in damage to the cell |

| *chromosomes at equatorial plate *membrane completely broken down *chromatids attach to spindle fibers by centromere *duplication | metaphase |
| *splitting of each chromosome at centromere, so that a centromere and two chromatids are attached to a spindle fiber, which is attached to a spindle or pole *newly formed chromosomes migrate to opposite poles or spindles | anaphase |

| *exchange of chromosomal material between chromatids, resulting in changes to genetic make-up and inherited traits*happens in second cycle of meiosis | crossing over |
| what happens in level 4 of cellular organization | groups of similar cells form tissues |
