cells, organelles, dna
Question | Answer |
---|---|
what are the three cell theories? BAP | cells are the basic organizational units of life all organisms are made up of one or more cells all cells are made from pre existing cells |
what is the structural units and functional units of life? | structural units form the structure of the organizm ( cell membrane, cell wall ) funtional units carry out tasks such as nutrition, excretion, respiration. |
what is the cytoplasm and cytosol? | gel like substance that holds the organelles. the cytosol the the gel by itself. |
nucleus | the nucleus protects the DNA and controls all cell activities |
nucleolus | makes ribosomes |
cell membrane | controls what gets in and out of the cell ( made up of phospholipid bilayer ) |
endoplasmic reticulum | transport proteins from nucleus |
mitochondrion ( dria ) | the powerhouse of the cell, provides energy (ATP ) to the cell through cellular respiration |
golgi body | sorts and packages proteins and other materials for transport out cell |
ribosomes | makes protein |
vacuole | stores water and nutrients |
lysosome | cleans up cell |
chromatin | uncondenced chromosome that contains the instruction for the characteristics the cell will have. ( turns into chromosomes before cell reproduction ) |
vesicle | stores materials and transports them throughout and out the cell |
cell wall | provides structural support to the cell |
chloroplast | stores energy from the sun to make glucose ( photosynthesis ) |
phospholipid bi layer | makes up the cell membrane hydrophilic head, hydrophobic tail allows cell to be selectively permeable |
what do plant cells have that animal cells don't? | larger vacuoles - because they can't move around to go find water cell wall - so they can grow up taller to the suns light chloroplast - stores sunlight to make food from the plant with carbon dioxide |
what are the 4 nitrogen base pairs of a DNA | Adenine - Thymine Guanine - Cytosine |
why do the nitrogen base pairs pair the way they do? | due to hydrogen bonds, specifically A & T ( 2) , C & G ( 3 ) can only pair with each other, this way you can always tell the other half of the code is with just the first half |
how does the DNA act as a code | the DNA acts as a code because the nitrogen base pairs are always the same and never changing so they can act as a computer code and be placed in sequences like codes. |
nucleotide | a nucleotide is a singular nitrogen base, sugar ( deoxyribose ), and phosphate |
transgenic organisms | ( human made ) an organism that has had its genetic code altered with gens from another organism |
mutations | ( natural ) a change in the DNA of an organism |
mutagens | substance/factor that can cause DNA mutation ( x rays, uv rays ) |
types of genetic screening methods for genetic disorder | PKU - test for excessive or too little protein Karyotype - micrograph of chromosome to look for things like down syndrome |
what are proteins? | proteins are important molecules made by a small part of the gene that carry out different jobs in the body i.e. transfer signals between body parts, and speed up bodily chemical reactions ( catalyst ) |
relationship between DNA, genes, and proteins | DNA makes genes genes make proteins the job of the protein is decided by the DNA |
what is a karyotype? and use | an individuals complete set of chromosomes. can be used to look for abnormalities or disorders like down syndrome, Huntington disease |
DNA | deoxyribonucleic acid deoxyribose - sugar nucleic - in the nucleus acid - the chemicals |
centrioles | responsible for cell reproduction |
