Science Unit 1 SKG

QuestionAnswer
Prokaryotes do not contain Nuclei
Eukaryotes contain Nuclei
Prokaryotes and eukaryotes both contain A cell membrane, cytoplasm
All bacteria are Prokaryotes
Single cell Prokaryotes
Cell membranes Monitors what enters and exits the cell
Cytoplasm Gel-like material inside the cell membrane containing all organelles except nucleus
Cytosol Contains dissolved ions, small molecules, and proteins
Cytoskeleton Network of protein filaments that helps the cell maintain shape and is involved in cell movement.
Microfilaments Long, thin strands that help a cell move and provide a tough framework for the cell
Microtubules Hollow tubes by which organelles can move from one part of a cell to another
Ribosomes Made of rRNA and protein and found in Rough ER
Nucleus A large structure that contains the cell’s genetic material and controls the cell’s activities
Nucleolus Found in the nucleus, builds rRNA to make ribosomes
Endoplasmic Reticulum Used as intracellular highway! Molecules move through the cell by the ER. All of the folds create channels and connections for molecules to move.
Rough ER Studded with ribosomes; exports proteins and sends them to cytoplasm
Smooth ER No ribosomes. Helps in lipid production and breakdown of toxic substances
Prokaryotes don't have Mitochondria, the endoplasmic reticulum, vacuoles, or the Golgi apparatus
Mitochondria Involved in cellular respiration- turning carbohydrates into energy
Golgi Apparatus Attaches carbohydrates and lipids to proteins, and the new proteins are “packaged” in new vesicles
Vesicles (small transport sacs) carry proteins from Rough E.R. to Golgi for processing/modification.
Cell Wall Cell Walls provide extra support and protection
Do animals have cell walls? No
Chloroplast Converts the sun’s light energy into chemical energy during photosynthesis
Why are chloroplast green? Contains chlorophyll (green pigment)
Vacuole Storage container filled with food, water or waste. Found in all eukaryotic cells (plants and animals).
Lysosomes Small organelles filled with digestive enzymes
Cilia Short hair-like projection; produces movement in many cells
Flagella Whip-like structure on some cells that is used for movement
Centrioles Tiny structures located in the cytoplasm of animal cells near the nuclear envelope, play a role in cell division.
Water is what kind of molecule Polar molecule
Why is water a polar molecule It is polar because there is an uneven distribution of electrons between the oxygen and hydrogen atoms.
The hydrogen end is positive and the oxygen end is negative.
Water molecules adhere to each other using WEAK hydrogen bonds.
Cohesion Water molecules are attracted to other water molecules.
Cohesion causes surface tension, meaning... This means water is able to resist rupturing when under pressure; creates a “film” on top of the water
Adhesion Water molecules are attracted to different molecules
Capillary Action
Water has a high specific heat capacity and a high heat of vaporization
Why does ice become less dense Because its molecules lock into an open, six-sided crystal shape. This fixed pattern holds the water molecules farther apart than they are in liquid water. Because the same amount of weight takes up more space, the ice expands and floats.
Water = “Universal” Solvent, dissolves ALMOST anything (Not lipids)
Solutions Are composed mostly of water Ex: Salt Water
Solute The substance being dissolved Ex: salt
Solvent The substance in which the solute dissolves Ex: water
Water cannot dissolve Lipids
Buffer Weak acids or bases that can react with strong acids and bases to change the pH
Macromolecules are usually Polymers
Macrmolecules built by smaller units called Monomers
Dehydration Synthesis When monomers are joined together to form larger molecules (polymers)
Hydrolysis Where water is added to break down a larger molecule (polymer) into smaller molecules (monomers)
Carbs are Monomers/Monosaccharides
Most common monosaccharides Glucose, fructose, galactose
Disaccharide Two monosaccharides bonded together
Examples of disaccharides Glucose and fructose
Polysaccharides More than two monosaccharide bonded together
Elements that make up carbs CH2O
Elements that make up lipids CHO (A lot of H)
Carbohydrates - FUNCTION Main source of immediate energy for living things
Lipids (fats and oils) - FUNCTION Used to store energy; Some lipids are important parts of biological membranes and waterproof coverings & insulation.
Saturated fat (solid at room temp)
Unsaturated fat (liquid at room temp)
Amino Acids are monomers for Protein
Proteins contain the elements CHON sometimes sulfur
Enzymes are proteins
Many amino acids bonded together with peptide bonds
Nucleic acids have monomers called Nucleotide
Nucleic acids contain the elements CHONP
DNA and RNA NUCLEIC ACID - EXAMPLES
All enzymes are catalyst
Not all catalyst are enzymes
Catalyst Any substance that speeds up a chemical reaction without being used up.
Enzyme An enzyme is a specific type of catalyst made by living things, usually a large protein, that speeds up reactions in the body.
Enzymes are Proteins
Active site is the area when Substract is binded with the enzyme
The shape of the active site only fits the shape of the substrate, like a key
Acids (pH) - A change in the pH of the enzyme can cause a change in the shape of the active site, therefore changing the activity of the enzyme.
As enzymes increase, reaction rate increase, exponentially decay mirror across x-axis (x is enzyme, y is reaction rate)

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.
