an example of a autotroph is oak tree
a nutritionally dependent organisms is said to be heterotrophic
energy is stored within the cells as ATP
when atp becomes adp energy will be released for use
photosynthesis captures light energy and converts it to ADP
the primary catalysts of photosynthesis chloryphyll
the past of photosynthesis that splits water molecules i the the light dependent phase
during the light dependent phase a water molecule is split into hydrogen ions electrons and oxygen is called photoylsis
the light dependent phase of photosynthesis is also called the calvin cycle
the entire process of photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts
the calvin cycle depends on which two products of the light dependent reactions ATP, NADPH
cellular respiration requiring oxygen is called aerobic
cellular respiration refers to breaking down of food to release energy
process that does not use oxygen is anaerobic
the initial step of breaking glucose down into pyretic acid is glycolysis

study of cells cytology
discovered plants are made of cells schleiden
robert brown was the first describe this structure and the its importance of cells nucleus
ability to maintain a steady state in the cell homeostasis
ability of a cell to respond to its environment irritability
the putting together of organic compound is synthesis
the removal of soluble waste from the cell digestion
group of similar cells that work together colony

which cell boundary would be the outermost in plant cells cell wall
provide cellular energy mito
cristae of the mito increase surface area
non membrane bound organelle responsible for protein synthesis within the cell is the ribosome
the flattened sacs that are used in packaging complex polysaccharides proteins and lipids for the cells are called golgi apparatus
which organelles is found in most plant cells but never in animal cells plastid
cytoplasm long tubular extensions that contain a set of microtubules and that are used in flagella
those clear plastids that function as storehouses in plants are luecoplasts
which organelle digests materials and is most like garbage disposal lysosome
chloroplasts contain grana
has to do with plants cells turgor pressure central vacuole
the diffusion of water into a plant cell by osmosis results in a build up of ____ ______ and allowed the plant to stand up upright turgor pressure
contains pores and is the double membrane surrounding the nucleus nuclear envelope
when a cell is in a state of homeostasis it is at equilibrium
when cells get past there optimal point they become steady
if a cell is put an isotonic solution the solute concentration is ______ in the solution than its inside lower
when the concentrations of solutes outside of the cell esceedsthe contrentaion of solutes inside of the cell is hypertonic solution
cells that are in an extremely hypotonic solution will eventually go through cytolysis
structure that will aid a cell in a hypotonic environment contractile vaculule
what will prevent cytolysis cell walls, contractile vacuous, isotonic solutions
movement of molecules across the cell membrane that requires no energy is called passive transport
what will prevent a substance form crossing the cell membrane not fat soluble
the processes by which cells release wastes or secrete substances through the cell membrane exocytolsis
called cellular drinking pinocytolysis
your white blood cells engulf and destroy invading bacteria phagocytolysis
double helix nucleic acid that serves as chief code deoxyribonucleic acid
hydrophilic end of a phatty acid is replied by water
proteins are used in your body as enzymes
when a molecule is broken down into smaller molecules by adding a water molecule the process is called hydolysis
the four most common elements that make up living organisms CHON
disaccharide is formed when two sugars combine in diffusion
basic unit of carbohydrates simple sugars monosaccaride
RNA has a base of uracil
the carboxyl end of a fatty acid molecule is attracted to water and is called hydrophilic
the basic building blocks of a protein are amino acid
the process of forming a molecule of ran through the action of Rna polymerase on a DNA is transcription
which of these would contain the most potential energy per spoonful lipids
monomers of DNA and Rna are nucleotides
what is not a function or chracterisistic or organic compounds transport
nucleotide of a dna of a dna molecule is made of a base a phosphate and a sugar
type of polysaccharide that is important for the strength of plant cells and is not cellulose
cohesion of water molecules is a result of what type of bonding hydrogen
has opposite charges at opposite ends polar molecule
when salt is dissolved in water the water molecule moves its hydrogen end towards the positive sodium ion
plants are able to tow water molecules up its roots and shoots even against the force of gravity capillary action
subatomic particle that has a positive charge is proton
atom having negative or a positive charge ion
chemical bonding that occurs due to the appositively charged atoms of two elements is called ionic bonding
