Bio Exam

QuestionAnswer
individual criteria for life regulation, reproduction, response to environment, evolutionary adaptation, energy processing and growth/development
what must all cells have? cell membrane, cytoplasm and nucleus
difference between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells prokaryotic cells don't have membrane bound nucleus or organelles while eukaryotic cells do
what's a good hypothesis falsifiable and testable
an example of homestatis sweating
what percentage of species have gone extinct 99%
compounds that make up the body carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosophorus and sulfur
forms when a hydrogen atom covalently bonded to one electronegative atom is also attracted to another electronegative atom hydrogen bond
is an atom’s attraction for the electrons in a covalent bond electronegativity
water h20
oxygen 02
carbon dioxide co2
sodium chloride nacl
glucose c6h12o6
methane ch4
make and break chemical bonds chemical reactions
four of waters properties to maintain life cohesive behavior, ability to moderate temperature, versatility as a solvent and expansion upon freezing
water molecules stick together cohesion
water h-bonds to other molecules adhesion
role of water in human body acts as a lubricant between joints
"blood sugar" dextrose/glucose
central rule of information flow in cells DNA-> RNA -> Protein
monomer of carbohydrates monosaccharide
monomer of nucleic acid nucleotides
monomer of protein amino acids
a polymer of glucose monomers starch
a compound with numerous regions of partial positive and partial negative charges that can form hydrogen bonds with water. cellulose
difference between starch and cellulose For starch, glucose repeat units are located in the same direction, and each successive glucose unit is rotated 180 degrees in cellulose.
large molecules macromolecules
hydrocarbons energy-rich undergo reactions that release large amounts of energy
3 examples of amino group and examples histidine = hemoglobin, lysine=milk, valine= sesame seeds
Disaccharide is two sugars, a disaccharide is formed when a dehydration reaction joins two monosaccharides glyosidic linkage
diverse group of hydrophobic molecules lipids
max number of hydrogen bonds saturated fats (animal fats)
one or more double bonds unsaturated fats (fish oils)
two fatty acids and a phosphate group are attached to the glycerol. The two fatty acids tails are hydrophobic, but the phosphate group and its attachments form a hydrophilic head phosopholipids
steroid in animal cell membranes chloestrol
What will happen if a bunch of hydrophobic R-groups are together? Move toward the core of the structure, they are all clustered together. So it will be a stronger bond
Loss of a protein's native structure denaturation
what type of reaction degrades a protein polymer hydrolysis
what is plasma membrane composed of phosophlipid biplayer
makes proteins ribosomes
carrying genes chromosomes
make soluble, cytoplasmic proteins cytosol
Stores genetic information nucleus
Makes ribosomes nucleolus
Contains the contents of the cell cytoplasm
Structure, support and transport cytoskeleton
Makes proteins for the endomembrane system rough er
Detoxifies the cell and makes lipids smooth er
Sorts and ships proteins golgi
Makes energy mitochondria
Removes unwanted material and waste lysosomes
Store water and nutrients vacuoles
A thin flexible barrier that separates the cell from its environment cell membrane
main energy source atp
ripping glucose apart to make atp happens where? mitochondria
hydrophobic and hydrophilic regions amphipathic
fluiditly is what? temperature dependant
diffusion of water osmosis
peed the passive movement of molecules across plasma membrane, transport proteins contain channel proteins and carrier proteins Facilitated diffusion transport proteins
active transport that works on pumps, such as sodium and potassium ATP
requires energy to move ions, against concentration gradient pump
don’t use ATP and used for passive transport channel
substance goes from high concentration to low concentration diffusion
breaking apart of two molecules by water hydrolysis
large biomolecules and macromolecules that comprise one or more long chains of amino acid residues. proteins

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.
