Biology Unit 2 & 3A
Cell | A sac of fluid that are reinforced by proteins and surrounded by membranes |
Prokaryotic Cells | Has no nucleus or membrane-bound organelles |
Eukaryotic Cells | Has a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles |
Anaerobic Respiration | Does not require oxygen to function |
Aerobic Respiration | Requires oxygen to function |
Endergonic | Requires the input of energy to function |
Exergonic | A reaction that releases energy |
Anabolic Reaction | Builds molecules |
Catabolic Reaction | Breaks down molecules |
ATP | The primary energy source for cells |
ADP | This is ATP after it loses one of it phosphates due to it supplying energy to a process |
Photosynthesis Equation | 6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy ------> C6 + H12+O6+6O2 |
Cellular Respiration Equation | C6 + H12+O6+6O2 ------> 6CO2 + 6H2O + 38 ATP |
Cellular Respiration | A set of metabolic respirations and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert energy into ATP and then release waste products. TAKES PLACE IN THE MITOCHONDRIA |
Asexual Reproduction | The production of genetically identical offspring from a single parent |
Sexual Reproduction | involves the fusion of 2 separate parent cells |
Cell Cycle | A series of events during which a cell grows, prepares for division, and then divides to form 2 daughter cells |
The Prokaryotic Cell Cycle | Is a regular pattern of growth, DNA replication, and cell division |
The Eukaryotic Cell Cycle | The Eukaryotic Cell Cycle consists of four stages: G1, S, G2 and M The length of each stage and length of the entire cycle depends on the type of cell The first three stages are known collectively as Interphase |
Stage 1 G1- Cell Growth | Most of the cells growing is done during this stage. Cells increase in size New proteins and organelles are synthesized. |
Stage 2 DNA Replication | S stands for synthesis The DNA is synthesized as the chromosomes are replicated. By the end of this stage, the cell contains twice as much DNA as it did at the beginning. |
Stage 3 G2 Preparing for cell division. | G2 is usually the shortest stage During this stage, many of the organelles and molecules required for cell division are produced. When this is complete, the cell is ready to enter the M stage |
Stage 4 - M stage cell division | At the end of this stage, two daughter cells have been produced. The M stands for Mitosis The process of cell division takes place rather quickly when compared to interphase (stages 1, 2 and 3) |
Stages of M | Stage 1- Mitosis- the division of the cell nucleus Stage 2- cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm. |
