QuestionAnswer
Homeostasis maintaining stability while external conditions are changing
Metabolism all reacitons in the body that build up or break down chemicals
properties of water -water is polar(positive on one end and negative on the other -Surface tension -water can pass easily through the cell membrane
Surface tension (properties of water ) Water is attracted to itself through its bond (allow insects to "walk" on water
ph (properties of water ) -Acids have a ph below 7 -Bases have a ph of above 7 -Neutral solutions have a ph of 7 (water is neutral)
enzyme "catalyst" Speeds up chemical reactions,lower activation energy and help speed up reaction time.
enzyme "active site" where substances called substrates can bind and allow the reaction to happen
Macro molecules Living things made up of mostly carbon, hydrogen,nitrogen, oxygen, and phosphorus
proteins (Macro molecules) -made up of amino acids -Made up of C, H, N, O Helps build bones and muscles, helps in moving things across membranes(protein Channels), and controls rates of reactions(enzymes are proteins)
lipids (Macro molecules) -Fats, waxes, oils -made up of mostly carbon and hydrogen -helps provide insulation, stores energy,main part of cell membrane
Carbohydrates (Macro molecules) -sugars and starches -made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen -provide the body's energy
Nucleic acids (Macro molecules) -made of nucleotides -Examples are RNA and DNA -determine heredity and control what proteins are made of
Cell membrane structure -Semi permeable(lets some things pass Through) -Phospholipid bi-layer -Protein channel -Carbohydrates
Phospholipid bi-layer (Cell membrane structure) Refers to the 2 layers of lipids that make up the main part of the cell membrane
Protein Channel(Cell membrane structure) helps move bigger molecules through the cell membrane
Carbohydrates(Cell membrane structure) Check the "ID" of the substanes from low to high concentration
Movement Across the Membrane -Diffusion -Osmosis -Active Transport *Small, non polar molecules pass the easiest *Water, carbon, and oxygen pass easily *Ions(charged particles) do NOT pass easily (sodium and potassium)
Diffusion (Movement Across the Membrane) Movement of substances from high to low concentration across the membrane (no energy required)
Osmosis (Movement Across the Membrane) Movement of WATER from high to low concentration across the membrane (no energy required)
Active Transport (Movement Across the Membrane) Movement of substance from low to high concentration (REQUIRES ENERGY because going against concentration gradient)
Cell organelles -Nucleus -Ribosome -Mitochondria -Chloroplast -Endoplasmic Reticulum -Golgi Apparatus -Lysosomes -Cell membrane -Cell wall -vacuole
Nucleus (Cell organelles) Controls cell activities, hold DNA, is where RNA is made
Ribosome (Cell organelles) Where protein is made
Mitochrondria(Cell organelles) Site of cellular respiration (where ENERGY/ATP is made)
Chloroplast (Cell organelles) Site of photosynthesis (where glucose is made)
Endoplasmic Recticulum (Cell organelles) Transports materials through the cell
Golgi apparatus (Cell organelles) Packages cell products
Lysosome (Cell organelles) Breaks down old cell materials
Cell membrane (Cell organelles) Controls What enters/exits the cell
Cell wall (Cell organelles) Provides structural support to the cell
Vacuole (Cell organelles) Storage area for water and nutrients
Plant cell VS. Animal cell -Plant cell: Cell wall, chloroplast, Large vacuole -Animal cell: Centrioles, lysosome
Eukaryote VS. Prokaryote -Eukaryote HAS a Nucleus -Prokaryote does NOT have a nucleus
The Cell Theory 1. Cells come from pre-existing cells 2. Cells are the basic unit for structure and function in living in living things 3. All living things are composed of cells
Mitosis VS. Meiosis -Mitosis is the COPYING of the cell exactly -Meiosis creates 4 different cells(makes sex cells)and must be haploid
Fertilization egg meeting sperm (creating correct amount of chromosomes)
Reproduction asexual VS. sexual
Haploid sex cells(half the number of diploid)
Diploid Body cells (twice the number of haploid)
Mitosis (Mitosis VS. Meiosis) Division of Nucleus 1 cell -> 2(daughter) cells -Starts 2N (diploid), Ends 2N -New cells are identical to each other AND parent -Used to produce body cells
Meiosis (Mitosis VS. Meiosis) 1 cell -> 4(daughter)cells -Starts 2N, ends 1N -New cells are NOT identical to each other and parent -Used to produce Gametes(sex cells)
Cell Cycles Phases -Interphase -Mitosis -Prophase -Metaphase -Anaphase -Telophase -Cytokinesis
Interphase (Cell Cycles Phases) Cell grows, duplicates DNA and organelles
Prophase (Cell Cycles Phases) PREPARES to divide-chromosomes form,spindle fibers,and centrioles form
Metaphase (Cell Cycles Phases) Chromosomes MEET in the MIDDLE
Anaphase (Cell Cycles Phases) Chromosomes pull APART to opposite polls
Telophase (Cell Cycles Phases) TWO nuclei form, cell starts to pinch off
Cytokinesis (Cell Cycles Phases) Division of cytoplasm
Meiosis I -Interphase -Prophase I -Metaphase I -Anaphase I Telophase I
Meiosis II -Prophase II -Metaphase II -Anaphase II -Telophase II
Photosnythesis Makes glucose (C16H12O16) food for plants CO2 + H2O + Sunlight -> C6H12O6 + O2
Cellular Respriration Breaks down glucose(C16H12O16)/food to produce energy/ATP C6H12O6 + O2 -> CO2 + H2O + ATP
Site of Reaction (Photosynthesis And Cellular Respiration) Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplast Cell Respiration occurs in the MITOCHRONDRIA
Natural Selection (evolution) Occurs as those organisms best suited for their environments will survive and reproduce
Adaptation (evolution) Traits and organism develops as a result of natural selection
Species (evolution) All organisms that can interbreed and Produce fertile offspring
DNA -Double Helix -Made up of 4 Bases -Adenine(A)pairs with Thymine(T) -Guanine(G)pairs with Cytosine(C)
Mutation (DNA) A change in the base pair sequence
Protein Snythesis 1.DNA copied into messenger RNA(mRNA) 2.mRNA carries DNA's instructions from the nucleus to the ribosome 3.At the ribosome, amino acids are organized to create protein *mRNA matches up at to a tRNA that bring the amino acids in the correct order
Genotype (Genetics) Organisms genetic makeup (RR,Rr,rr)
Phenotypes (Genetics) organisms physical appearance based on its genes (red,white)
Homozygous (Genetics) Individual with 2 IDENTICAL alleles for a trait
Heterozygous (Genetics) Individual with 2 DIFFERENT alleles for a trait
Dominant (Genetics) Gene that can "mask" or cover up the effect of the other gene (which is recessive)
Punnet Squares (Genetics) Tool used to to show the probability of the resulting offspring from a cross between individuals
Nondisjunction (Genetics) Mutation(during meiosis)that can result in the deletion or addition of entire chromosomes as in Down's Syndrome
Sex-linked Trait (Genetics) Traits located on the X chromosome (ex: Colorblindness)
Community (Ecology) Group of interacting population
Ecosystem (Ecology) All living and non-living parts (community in addition to the abotic factors)
Carrying Capacity (Ecology) Number of organisms that can be safely supported by the environment
Abotic Factors (Ecology) Non-living Components (EX:air, temperature, water)
Botic Factors (Ecology) All living Factors (EX:Animals, Plants, Bacteria)
Symbiosis (Ecology) Close relationship between 2 individuals of different species
Mutualism (Ecology) When both organisms benefits from the interaction
Commensalism (Ecology) one organism benefits while the other is not harmed or helped
Parasitism (Ecology) One organism lives off the other and does damage
Ecological Succession (Ecology) Series of changes in a community in which new populations of organisms are gradually replace the existing ones
Habitat (Ecology) physical space in which an organism lives
Niche (Ecology) the location occupied by an organism and its functional role in the community
Producer (Ecology) Organism that must take energy from the sun to make its own food (plants)
Consumer (Ecology) Organism that must eat other organisms for food
Herbivores (Ecology) eats plants
Carnivores (Ecology) Eats meat
Omnivores (Ecology) eats both plants and animals
Decomposers Organisms that break down waste and dead organisms (bacteria and Fungus)
