1st Semester Review
Term | Definition |
---|---|
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) |
