UCO Bio Terms
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Metabolism | All body functions (chemical reactions) Acquires energy and transforms it to a useful form |
| Homeostasis | Maintain body functions at optimal internal state, relying on feedback systems |
| Binary Fission | Cell division for Prokaryotic cells |
| Mitosis | Cell division for Eukaryotic cells |
| Catabolism | Exergonic reaction of breaking substances into smaller pieces (A part of Metabolism) |
| Exergonic | Chem reaction that releases energy |
| Anabolism | Endergonic reaction that builds substances from smaller components. ( A part of Metabolism) |
| Endergonic | Chem reaction absorbing energy |
| Hypothalamus | Part of brain that maintains homeostasis. Relies on negative and positive feedback. |
| Positive feedback (in Hypothalamus) | Shows there is not enough of something and more is needed. |
| Negative feedback (in Hypothalamus) | Shows there is too much of something and signals to reduce it. |
| Origin of Species | Darwin's book on natural selection |
| Population | Same species; same area |
| Community | Multiple populations; shared ecosystem (just living things) |
| Ecosystem | Living and non-living things in a shared area |
| Domain bacteria | Procaryotes |
| Domain archaea | Prokaryotes capable of surviving in extreme environments |
| Domain Eukarya | Plants, animals, fungai |
| Linnean Taxonomy | Classification system by Carolus Linnaeus |
| Binomial Nomenclature | 2 name system based on Linnean Taxonomy |
| Viruses | Not living organisms. Tiny parasites able to infect most cells, but aren't made of them |
| 2 types of scientific inquiry | Discovery Science (From observations) and Hypothesis-based (From analysis to conclusions) |
| Null Hypothesis | Hypothesis predicting no difference between experimental and control group |
| Alternative Hypothesis | Hypothesis predicting s difference between experimental and control group |
| Qualitative Data | Based on qualities, not quantity |
| Quantitative Data | Based on quantities, not qualities |
| Scientific Method | 1. Observations 2. Develop Question/Identify Problem 3. Research Topic 4. Form Hypothesis 5. Experimentation 6. Collect & Analyze Data 7. Draw Conclusions 8. Communicate the results |
| Abstract (Scientific Article) | Summary |
| Introducion (Scientific Article) | Observations and Literature review |
| Materials & Methods (Scientific Article) | Experimental design; defines tests to be performed |
| Water Versatile Solvent | Large amount of substances dissolve in water due to to its polarity. |
| Water Temp Stabalization | H-bonding allows molecules to absorb heat w/o increasing temp. Evaporative cooling allows hottest molecules to evaporate and remove heat |
| Water Cohesion | Water surface has surface tension thanks to H-bonds. |
| Water Adhesion | Allows water to grip other items, such as inside of stems in plants. |
| H+ ion pH | Low pH |
| OH- ion pH | High pH |
| 4 main elements of life | Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, and Nitrogen |
| Molecules of life | Carbohydrates, Proteins, Nucleic Acids and Lipids (not a polymer) |
| Macromolecules | Large molecules made of thousands of covalently connected atoms |
| Carbohydrates | Main source that cells use to produce energy as ATP, Stores energy. Used for structural support and cell signaling and cell recognition. |
| Cellulose | A Polysaccharide. Structural support in plant cell walls. Most abundant organic compound on earth. Polymer of glucose, but the glycosidic linkages differ |
| Chitin | Modified polysaccharide that contains nitrogen. Structural support in exoskeleton of arthropods and cell walls of many fungi |
| Glucose | Most common monosaccharide. Hydrophilic. Main blood sugar, used to generate ATP through cellular respiration. |
| Ribose | Used to form Nucleic Acids. |
| Fructose | Found in many plants. Often linked to glucose forming sucrose. Sweetest naturally occurring carbohydrate. |
| Glycosidic linkage | Formed when a dehydration reaction joins two monosaccharides. Reaction forms a covelant bond between 2 hydroxyl groups. (Seen in Maltose and Sucrose |
| Disaccharides | Formed by glycosidic linkage between 2 hydroxyl groups. |
| Polysaccharides | Polymers of sugars Storage and structural roles Usually insoluble in water Not sweet |
| Starch | Storage polysaccharide of plants, consists entirely of glucose monomers (potatoes, corn, rice) |
| Glycogen | Storage polysaccharide in animals (liver and muscle cells) |
| Maltose | A disaccharide made up of two Glucose molecules. Easy to be broken down and used for energy. |
| Sucrose | A disaccharide. Made up of Fructose and Glucose. Broken down to provide energy for the bodies physical and mental actions. |
