Related species Genus
Most specific grouping Species
Community interact among themselves and with the physical environment (soil, atmosphere, etc) Ecosystem
Chemicals move from 1 species to another Chemical Cycling
Energy Flows from the sun, through plants, through the food chain. Energy Flow.
In an Atom the inner shells hold how many elections? 2.
The outer shell can hold how many elections? 8
The number of protons in an atom. The atomic number
The number of protons + neutrons Atomic Mass
Atoms of the same element that have the same atomic number but different number of neutrons Isotopes
Formed by the bonding of 2 or more atoms Molecule
A molecule composed ot atoms of 2 or more different elements Compound.
Electrostatic interaction between a positive ion and a negative ion is called? Ionic bond
Formed by sharing of electrons between atoms. Covalent bonds
What is the universal solvent? Water
Have a sour tast, release hydrogen ions when they dissociate in water. Acidic
Have a bitter taste, feel slimy or slippery to the touch, release hydroxyl ions or take up hydrogen ions Base
small organic molecules, can either exists separately or can be bound together into long chains to form polymers. Monomers
What are carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids examples of? polymers
Ratio of hydrogen atoms to oxygen atoms is 2:1, characteristic atomic grouping of H-C-OH Carbohydrates.
large polymers of monosaccharides polysaccharides
this have a non polar end which attaches to the fat and a polar end that interacts with water molecules so that the droplets can disperse. Emulsification.
Attached phosphate gives 'polarity', has a hydrophilic head and a hydrophobic tail, important components of membranes Phospholipids
'Skelton' of a 4 carbon ring, cholesterol is an example of this which function is membrane structure and hormone synthesis. Steroids
Composed of amino acids, had a central carbon atoms with a carboxyl group. Proteins
Codes for the order of amino acids needed to make proteins DNA
Function in synthesis of protein RNA
Nucleotides are composed of a pentose sugar, a phosphate, and a nitrogen base. Polymers of nucleotides.
Engery carrier in cells, High energy molecule ATP
What cells lack membrane--enclosed structures. Prokaryotic cells.
what cells possess membrane-enclosed structures Eukaryotic cells.
what are the basic living unit of structure and function in organisms. Cells
Where do all cells come from? Other cells
All cells are surrounded by what? Cell membrane.
What is the material inside the cell called? cytoplasm
What regulates what enters and exits a cell. The plasma membrane
What are the large membranous sacs, most prominent in plants, stores water, pigments and toxins? Vacuole
Membrane bound vesicles containing enzymes, break down molecules producing hydrogen peroxide, immediately broke down into water and oxygen. Peroxisomes
only plants, algae, and cyaobacteria, solar engery is ultimate source of energy for most cells. Photosynthesis
All organisms convert chemical energy into atp, ATP used for all energy-requiring processes in cells. Cellular respiration
Found in all eukaryotic cells, site of cellular respiration, also contains DNA. Mitochondria
Maintain cell shape, assists in movement of cell and organelles, dynamic (assembled and disassembled) Three types of protein components (actin filaments, intermediate Filaments, microtubules) The cytoskeleton
Two actin chains twisted in helix, roles: structural, found in microvilli, formation of pseudopods. Actin filaments
Hollow cylinders made of tublin. Assembly: under control of microtubule organizing center (MTOC), most important MTOC is centrosome. Microtubles
only found in centrosomes of animals, short cylinders with a 9 + 0 pattern of microtubule triplets Centrioles
Hairlike projections that aid in cell movement. Cili and flagella
This regulates the entrance and exit of molecules into and out of the cell. Has a phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins. Plasma membrane.
