Chemical Equations A chemical equation described what happens in a reaction
Chemical reactions denote the kinds and number of reactants; the chemical composition of the products; and the relative proportion of each reactant and product, if balanced.
Factors Influencing the Rate of Chemical Reactions 1. Chemicals react when they collide with enough force to overcome the repulsion by their electrons. 2. temperature 3. particle size 4. concentration of reactants 5. catalysts
catalysts something that will speed up the reaction rate
temperature in relation to chemical reaction increase temperature increases kinetic energy & bump in more often to reactants
Water most important inorganic molecule, makes up 60-80% of the volume of most living cells has high heat of vaporization &heat capacity polar molecule & is universal solvent important reactant in many chemical reactions forms a protective cushion around or
water has a a high heat capacity meaning... absorbs & releases a great deal before it changes temperature
Water has a high heat of vaporization, meaning takes a lot of energy to break the bonds
Salts are ionic compounds containing cations other than H+ & anions other than the hydroxyl (OH-) ion. When salts are dissolved in water they dissociate into their component ions
Acids are also known as proton donors, & dissociate in water to yield hydrogen ions and anions.
Bases are also known as proton acceptors, and absorb hydrogen ions (release hydroxyl ions in water).
Buffers resist large fluctuations in pH that would be damaging to living tissues.

five nitrogenous bases Adenine (A), Guanine (G), Cytosine (C), Uracil (U), and Thymine (T).
DNA genetic material of the cell, and is found within the nucleus. replicates itself before cell division and provides instructions for making all of the proteins found in the body. containing the nitrogenous bases A, T, G, and C, and the sugar deoxyribose
Bonding of the nitrogenous bases in DNA is very specific; A bonds to T, and G bonds to C.
RNA sugar = ribose bases = A, G, C, and U single-stranded There are different types, and they all participate in carrying out DNA instructions for protein synthesis
ATP energy currency used by the cell The phosphate groups are connected by high energy bonds. Breaking the high energy bonds releases energy the cell can use to do work.
three basic components of cell 1. plasma membrane or cell membrane 2. cytoplasm 3. nucleus
plasma membrane function: separates cell contents from extracellular fluid & controls entry of ions & nutrients, eliminates wastes, & releases secreations components: lipid bilayer & membrane proteins
types and functions of membrane proteins anchoring: attaches plasma membrane to other structures channel: a pore to pass things through recognition: detects cell by flag works w/ immune system receptor: bind to specific extracellular molecules carrier: shuttle across membrane
membrane junctions membrane is modified in some places to allow for joining cells mechanically/structurally, prevent intercellular passage of molecules, or communication
cytosol fluid of cytoplasm gel like to hold in place
inclusions aggregations of insoluble pigaments, nutrients, or other material in cytoplasm
mitochondria s: double membrane w/ inner membrane folds inclosing important metabolic enzymes f: power house

metasis spreading of cells
carcinogens cause mutations in cells can be physical, chemical, or biological
what human cell has an impermeable membrane? none
passive process vs. active passive no ATP or energy where active needs energy
simple diffusion region of high concentration to low concentration ex: sugar molecule in water moves by6 kinetic energy bounce around to even space
facilitated diffusion helped along or taken across membrane by means of protein carriers
carriers transport items too large to fit through the membrane channels
osmosis movement of water across a selctively permeable membrane from solution to another making solute even via diffusion
3 types of tonicity isotonic: concentration equal moves @ = rate hypo tonic: less concentration than inside the cell; water moves in & cell swells hypertonic: solution is high concentration & cell concentration is low water moves out & cell shrivels up
filtration passive process of movement of a fluid across a membrane whose pores restrict the passage of solutes on the basis of size. ex: hydrostatic pressure by heart pumping
secondary active transport definition the mechanism itself does not require ATP but cell often needs to expend ATP to keep homeostasis. movement follows an existing concentration gradient for 1 of 2 substances transported & transport don't require energy input
secondary active transport process a sodium ion & a glucose molecule bind to receptor sites on the carrier protein. the carrier protein then changes shape opening a path to the cytoplasm & releasing the transported materials. then reassumes original shape. ATP is expended thru NaK pump
primary active transport NaK pump is example pumps Na back outside cell
vesicular transport movement of things in & out of the cell via small membranous sacs that form have 2 catagories: endocytosis & exocytosis
exocytosis The ejection of cytoplasmic materials by the fusion of a membranous vesicle with the plasma membrane.
endocytosis: The movement of relatively large volumes of extracellular material into the cytoplasm via the formation of a membranous vesicle at the cell surface
phagocytosis: The engulfing of extracellular materials or pathogens; the movement of extracellular materials into the cytoplasm by enclosure in a membranous vesicle.
pinocytosis: The introduction of fluids into the cytoplasm by enclosing them in membranous vesicles at the cell surface.
receptor-mediated endocytosis material in extracellular fluid bind to the membrane surfaces plasma membrane form coated vesicles as it bring into the cell
transcytosis trasporting something all the way through the cell to the other side
Epithelial Tissue a sheet of closely apposed cells w/ little or no intercellular space cover internal and external surfaces including glands lies on a basement membrane which separates from underlying CT functions: protect, absorb, secrete, filter, & excrete avascular
Classification of Epithelia: shapes simple=one layer, all cells touch basement membrane stratified=2+ layers, only bottom layer touches basement membrane pseudostratified=appears multilayered but really single, different heights, all reach basement membrane, not all surface
Classification of Epithelia: shape of cells squamous= flat cuboidal= same height and width columnar= taller than wide
simple squamous thin sheet diffusion and filtration location = blood vessels, lungs
simple cuboidal single layer of cuboidal cells secretory location = glands and ducts
simple columnar may be ciliated or not secrete and absorb location = ciliated = uterine tube non-ciliated = digestive tract
pseudostratified ciliated columnar not all cells exposed to surface, all touch basement membrane remove foreign debris location = respiratory epithelium such as in trachea
stratified squamous many layers of flat cells protective, high ability to replace upper surface location = skin and mouth
stratified cuboidal - rare most common in ducts: sweat, mammary, & other exocrine glands
stratified columnar - rare line large ducts of salivary glands or pancreas
