| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| The basic unit of structure and function in living things | cells |
| An instrument used to make small objects look larger. | Microscope |
| Cell theory: A widely accepted explanation of the relationship between cells and living things. | A. All living things are composed of cells B. Cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things C. All cells are produced from other cells |
| Focuses light through lenses to produce a magnified image, using two lenses. | Compound Microscope |
| The condition of things appearing larger then they are, using convex lenses (center is thicker than the edges) | Magnification |
| The ability to see to details more clearly, the higher the resolution the sharper the image. | Resolution |
| Using beams of electrons to produce a magnified image. | Electron Microscope |
| any substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances. | Elements |
| when 2 or more elements chemically combine. | Compounds |
| carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. Organic compounds must contain carbon. | Organic compounds |
| water. Inorganic compounds DO NOT contain carbon. | Inorganic compounds |
| energy rich organic compounds made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Items that have sugar and starches would be carbohydrates. Examples: potatoes, pasta, rice, and bread. | Carbohydrates |
| Fats, oils, and waxes. Examples: whole milk, ice cream, and fried foods. | Lipids |
| large organic molecules made mostly of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and sometimes sulfur. Examples: meat, dairy, fish,nuts, beans. | Proteins |
| a group of proteins that helps speed up chemical reactions in living things. | Enzymes |
| Long organic compounds made of carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, and phosphorus. Nucleic acids contain the instructions that carry out all the functions of life. | Nucleic Acids |
| The genetic material that carries information about an organism and is passed from parent to offspring. Double Helix: Shape of the DNA molecule | DNA |
| A. Water is needed for most chemical reactions in cells B.Water helps cells keep their shape. C. Water helps cells maintain their temperature D.Water helps cells carry substances in and out of them | Water in cells |
| When materials go in and out of the cell WITHOUT using energy. | Passive Transport |
| The movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. | Diffusion |
| The movement of WATER molecules across a selectively permeable membrane. | Osmosis |
| means some substances can cross the membrane while others cannot. | Selectively permeable |
| When materials go in and out of the cell using energy. | Active transport |
| The cell changes shape and engulfs the particle. | Endocytosis |
| The reverse process, which allows large particles to exit the cell. | Exocytosis |
| tissues, tissues make organs, organs make organ systems, organ systems make an organism. | Cells make |
| Cells that are designed to do specific jobs that help the entire organism function. | Specialized cells |
| Made of only ONE cell | Unicellular |
| Made of many cells | Multicellular |
| Chromosomes are copied exactly, they appear as threadlike coils (Chromatin) at the start. Sister chromosomes change to chromatids at the end of the phase. | Interphase |
| Mitosis begins(cells begin to divide). Centrioles or poles appear and begin to move in opposite directions. spindle fibers from between the poles. | Prophase |
| Chromatids(or pairs of chromosomes) attach to the spindle fibers. | Metaphase |
| Chromatids or pair of chromosomes separate and begin to move to opposite ends of the cell. | Anaphase |
| Two new nuclei form. Chromosomes appear as chromatin threads rather than rods. Mitosis ends. | Telophase |
| Cell membrane moves inward to create two new cells each with its own nucleus with identical chromosomes. | Cytokinesis |
| RULE #1 | Must be made of Cells |
| RULE # 2 | Must be organized: Organization – cells specialize to perform specific functions. Levels: cells make tissue, tissue makes organs, organs make organ systems, organ systems make organisms. |
| RULE # 3 | Types of organisms: multicellular - made of many specialized cells unicellular – made of only 1 cell |
| RULE # 4 | Homeostasis - organism’s response to the environment that keeps conditions suitable for life |
| RULE # 5 | Growth and Development |
| RULE # 6 | Reproduction: |
| all or part of the organism is used to make a new organism, offspring are genetically identical to parent | asexual |
| two cells from different individuals combine to form the first cells of a new organism, traits are inherited from both parents | sexual |
