| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| When an ionic compound is placed in water the compound | breaks apart and releases ions |
| Acid | A compound that releases Hydrogen (H+) |
| Base | A compound that releases Hydroxide (OH-) |

| pH (potential hydrogen) | the standard measurement of the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) present in a solution |
| Scale rances from | 0 - 14 |
| Lower #'s are _______________ | Acidic |
| Higher #'s are ___________ | basic |
| 7 is ______________ which is | neutral , pure water |
| Almost all living things take place in pH between _-_ | 6 - 8 |
| Cell | Smallest functional unit of life |
| unicellular | 1 cell (bacteria) |
| Multicellular | many cells (animal) |
| Robert Hooke | first to record what he described as "cells" |
| Cork cells | plant cell on the outer edge of the trunks of woody plants |
| Atnton van Leeuwenhoek | - Discovered, single celled organisms he called animalcules - considered the father of microbiology |
| animalcules | bacteria |
| Luis Pasteur | one of the fathers of the germ theory |
| germ theory | the idea that microscopic organisms are responsible for illness |
| Cell theory (3 things) | - cells are the basic unit of life - all organisms are made of one or more cells - All cells arise from existing cells |
| all cells are surrounded by a _________________ | membrane |
| plasma membrane / cell membrane | A thin layer of lipids and proteins that separates the cell contents from the environment and it acts like a barrier with gates |
| cell membrane ere mostly made of ____________ and | Phospholipids keeps the water from flooding the cell |
| when phospholipids are in water they form a ____________ | lipid bilayer |
| The head likes water = ______________ | hydrophilic |
| The tail does not like water = ____________________ | Hydrophobic |
| REMEMBER TO LOOK AT THE PICTURES TO KNOW WHAT EACH THING LOOKS LIKE!!!!!!!!!!!! | REMEMBER TO LOOK AT THE PICTURES TO KNOW WHAT EACH THING LOOKS LIKE!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| Proteins in cell membranes _________________ | - move materials in and out of the cell - identification badges that enable cells to recognize each other |
| Cytoplasm | the matrix that fills the inside of call |
| The cytoplasm is filled with floating ____________________ that serve particular functions | organells |
| cytoskeleton | - gives the cell support and shape |
| Nucleus | center of the cell |
| Chromatin | - in the nucleus - a thin tangled bundle of DNA threads - needed to make new cells and to run the cell |
| Nucleur envelope | surrounds the nucleus and separates the Nucleus from the cytoplasm |
| Nuclear pores | allow compounds in and out of the nucleus |
| Eukaryotes | - cells with a nucleus - plants and animals |
| Prokaryotes - | - cells without a nucleus - Bacteria and similar unicellular organisms |
| Organells | small organ like structures that preform specific functions for the cell |
| Ribosoms | - built inside the nucleus - built of proteins - either suspended in the cytoplasm, or bound to other organelles |
| Lots of ribosome in a row _______________________ | work like an assembly line |
| Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) | Extensive network of membranes that produce materials for the cell like a factory |
| 2 types: | Rough ER, Smooth ER |
| Rough ER | - has ribosome on its surface - helps build proteins and membranes |
| Smooth ER | - builds lipids - processes carbohydrates Modifies chemicals that are toxic to the cell |
| Golgi apparatus | - A series of flat , membrane bound cells where molecules are stored , often modified , packaged, and distributed to their destination - the cells package center |
| Mitochondria | - changes the energy that is stored in food compounds into a form that is useful for the cell, a molecule called adenosine triphosphate ( ATP) - the powerhouse of the cell - energy is generated |
| Lysosomes | digests old organelles that are no longer useful to the cell |
| Movement | cilia Flagella |
| Celia | - Short hair like projections that usually occur in large numbers on the surface of certain cells - help unicellular organisms move, also found in multicellular organisms EX: the lungs |
| Flagella | Long tail like projection. organisms usually only have one or a few flagella |
| plant and animal cells are different plants have __________________, _______________________, and __________________ | walls, chloroplast, vacuoles |
| cell wall | I addition to a membrane , plant cells also have walls surrounding the cell |
| Chloroplast | - An organelle that performs photosynthesis - helps plant build sugars, using energy from the sun |
| Central vacuole | - large central compartment that serves many functions |
| Central vacuoles functions : | - absorbs water - store protein , ions, and waste products of metabolism |
| How can cells take in nutrients and get rid of waist? | The cells semipermeable membrane allows some things to pass through and prevents others |
| 2 ways that materials can pass through this membrane 1)__________________________________ 2)__________________________________ | 1) Passsive transport 2) Active transport |
| Passive transport | No need for cels energy (ATP) (-Simple diffusion - Facilitated diffusion) |
| Active transport | Needs cells energy (ATP) to allow passage |
| Passive transport: Simple diffusion | Molecules spread out so all areas have an equal concentration |
| Diffusion | The random movement molecules from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration |
| Concentration | The amount of a substance in a solution |
| Passive transport: facilitated diffusion | - Molecules move down the concentration gradient, from higher concentration to lower concentration - Requires the use of carrier proteins ex: Glucose (large molecule) enters cells with facilitated diffusion |
| Passive transport: Osmosis | -The diffusion of water across the semipermeable membrane |
| Water moves from solutions with ____________ water concentration to solutions with ___________ water concentrations | higher lower |
| the _________ is the thing moving | water |
| Osmosis and solution concentration 3 ways cells react to osmosis effects of different solution concentrations | - Hypertonic - Isotonic - Hypototonnic |
| Hypertonic cells | the cell become shriveled and unhealthy |
| Isotonic cells | Healthy and normal cells |
| Hypotonic cells | These cells can burst due to too much water |
| IVs and maintaining solution balance in blood | Intravenous fluids are isotonic solutions that are used to replenish fluids in the body . ( given through needle into bloodstream. help replenish the balance and concentration of fluids in your body if you become dehydrated or other kind of imbalance |
| Active transport | The cell must use energy to transport object in and out of the membrane |
| what for is the energy that transports objects in and out of the membrane in? | ATP |
| what does ATP do | unlocked the carrier proteins to allow molecules in and out |
| Do molecules move towards or against the concentration gradient ? | Molecules move against the concentration gradient from low concentration to high concentration |
| What is bulk movement? | When the cell needs to transport very large molecules across the membrane 2 types : 1) endocytosis 2 exocytosis |
| Exocytosis | Waste and cell products are packaged by the Golgi apparatus in sacs called Golgi vesicles. The vesicles fuse with the cell membrane and secrete the materials out of the cell |
| Endocytosis | The cell membrane surrounds desirable molecules that are outside the cell. the membrane creates a vesicle and moves in into the cell, where it can either send the contents to organelles or release it into the cytoplasm |
| Pinocytosis | Encloses a droplet of liquid and its solutes (drinking) |
| Phagocytosis | Encloses a solid substance instead of a liquid (eating) |
