1st Semester Review

TermDefinition
Cell Theory All living things contain at least one cell; cells are the basic units of structure and function of life processes; cells come from other cells of the same kind
Unicellular Monera (eubacteria and achaebacteria); some protista and fungi
Multicellular Plants and Animals
Prokaryotes "Before nucleus" (monera)
Eukaryotes "true nucleus"
Plants Contains chloroplasts and cell walls
Animals Contains mitochondria
Cytoplasm "cell liquid"
Mitochondria provides "mighty" energy
Lysosomes like "lysol"; it cleans the waste form cells
Nucelus(w/nuclear membrane and DNA) control center of the cell
Nucleolus "Little center/nucleus"
Homeostatis maintaining a stable "home environment (ex:TEMP)
Cell transport movement of material in and out of cell membrane
Passive Movement with gradient
Diffusion High concentration to low concentration; depends on permeability
Osmosis: Isotonic "same concentration"
Osmosis: Hypertonic "above" concentration: water moves out, cell plasmolysis(shrivels)
Osmosis: Hypotonic "below" concentration- water moves in , cell cytolysis(swells, bursts)
Facilitated diffusion carrier molecule on cell membrane ( ex: glucose)
Gated channels proteins open and close as needed
Active Transport against gradient, requires chemical energy (ex: sodium-potassium pump)
Vesicles packages too large for cell membrane
Endocytosis "into cell" - swallows bubble (pinocytosis "fluids" vs. phagocytosis "solids")
Exocytosis "exits cell"- bubble produces by Golgi apparatus
Levels of Classification Atoms(smallest)---Molecules---Macromolecules---Organelles---Cells---Tissues---Organs---Organ Systems---Organism(largest)
Elements of Life C, H, O, N, S, P, and trace elements
Inorganic Compounds "non living" compounds
Water multiple hydrogen bonds, cohesion and adhesion(menicus), polar(+/- ends), dissolve things (universal solvent), high specific heat and immiscible with oils
Electrolytes salts or acids, dissolve easily in water, carry electricity, regulate pH (acid/bases)
Organic "living"
Carbohydrates C, H2O; sugars(red in Benedicts solution)
Monosaccharide "one" (monomers)
Disaccharides "two" (sucrose)
Polysaccharides "many" (glycogen, starch(black in iodine), cellulose)
Lipids Non-polar; dont dissolve in water; fats(animals), oils(plants), waxes(waterproof barrriers), steroids(hormones, poisons, venoms), cholestrol, fatty acids(monomers); triglycerides(3 fatty acids attacked to glycerol); TEST by looking for stains on paper
Proteins H,C,O,N- Amino Acids(20 monomers); Dipeptide and Polypeptides; Enzymes( Activations energy + Catalysts "speed-up" reaction of substrates)
Nucleic Acids Store information: DNA(deoxyribonucleic acid), RNA( ribonucleic acid); Nucleotides(monomer)
Common Life Functions Absorption, excretion, digestion, biosynthesis, secretion, reproduction, response, adaption, energy
Photosynthesis Autotrophs, chloroplasts/chlorophyll
Cellular Respiration heterotrophs, glycolysis/fermentation
Aerobic Needs Oxygen during process
Anaerobic (ATP, Krebs cycle, electron transport chain)

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
