QuestionAnswer
Homeostasis ecological balance of the body
Behavior = Responses
Cells -> Tissues -> Organs -> Organ Systems -> Complex Organisms
Tissues -> Organs -> Organ Systems -> Complex Organisms
Organs -> Organ Systems -> Complex Organisms
Organ Systems -> Complex Organisms
Kingdoms: Monera (or Bacteria&Archaea), Protista, Plantae, Fungi, Animalia
Kingdoms: Monera (or Bacteria&Archaea)-> Protista, Plantae, Fungi, Animalia
Scientific method: Observation > Hypothesis > Experiment > Data > Conclusion > Theory > Law
Characteristics (8) of living organisms: O - C - M - E - R - R - S - A 1. Organized 2. composed of cells 3. use material 4. use energy 5. responsive 6. reproductive 7. develop through stages 8. adaptions over many generations
Atomic Number - location to symbol & meaning (above) = protons
Atomic Mass - location to symbol & meaning (below) = protons + neutrons
Atomic Mass - Atomic Number = neutrons ; electrons weigh nothing
How much do electron weigh? Nothing.
Covalent bond Shared bonding
Polar bond Unequal covalent sharing
Ionic bond Give and take bonding, attraction between opposite charges
Octet rule On an atom w/ 2+ shells, the atom is most stable when it has eight electrons in the outer shell
pH level Acid - 7 + Base ; 7 is neutral, above is base, below is acid
pH level - what is neutral? 7
pH level ABOVE 7 is called what? Base
pH level BELOW 7 is called what? Acid
Carbohydrates (Carbs) 1. Immediate energy 2. used for structural components
Lipids 1. Fats & oils; 2. Insoluble in water; 3. Cholesterol forms steroids
Proteins - 7 characteristics S M T D R M AA 1. Support, 2. metabolism, 3. transport, 4. defense, 5. regulation, 6. motion; 7. Amino acids link to form proteins (covalent/peptide bond)
Nucleic Acids 1. DNA & RNA; 2. Made of nucleotides
Prokaryotic Simpler, smaller, non-membrane bound
Eukaryotic Bigger, more complex, membrane bound
Nucleus - 4 characteristics 1. Membrane bound, 2. control center, 3. contains DNA, 4. stores genetic information
Plasma Membrane 1. Regulates coming and goings of substances in the cells; 2. made of a phospholipid bilayer
Ribosomes 1. Workbenches, 2. synthesizes/makes proteins
Vesicles Transport between organelles
Rough ER 1. Studded w/ ribosomes, 2. helps synthesize proteins
Smooth ER 1. Connected to Rough ER, 2. produces lipids
Golgi apparatus 1. modifies and packages substances from the ER into vacuoles; 2. produces lysosomes
Vacuoles 1. Mainly storage; 2. also digestion and contraction
Lysosomes 1. Filled with digestive enzymes; 2. cell suicide bombers
Chloroplasts 1. Unique to plant cells; 2. produces carbs using solar energy
Mitochondria Produces most of the cells ATP
Cilia and Flagella 1. Maintains a cell's shape; 2. permits movement
Chromatin 1. , contains DNA, 2. found in the nucleus in non-dividing cell
Chromosomes 1. Wound chromatin that forms sister chromatids; 2. two identical chromatids held together by centromere, 3. found in dividing cell
Cell Cycle - Interphase - describe a cell's usual functions
Cell Cycle - Interphase - 3 parts 1. G1: Doubles organelles, and accumulates materials 2. S: Synthesizes/replicates DNA into chromosomes 3. G2: Last minute prep for mitosis, protein synthesis
Cell Cycle - Interphase - G1 Doubles organelles, and accumulates materials
Cell Cycle - Interphase - S Synthesizes/replicates DNA into chromosomes
Cell Cycle - Interphase - G2 Last minute prep for mitosis, protein synthesis
Cell Cycle - M Stage(s) - describe 1. cell reproduction; 2. ends with two identical daughter cells
Cell Cycle - M Stage(s) - 5 stages P M A T C 1. Prophase 2. Metaphase 3. Anaphase 4. Telophase 5. Cytokinesis
Cell Cycle - M Stage(s) - Prophase 1. Chromosomes condense, 2. nuclear envelope disintegrates, 3. centromeres separate, 4. spindle forms
Cell Cycle - M Stage(s) - Metaphase Chromosomes align at spindle equator
Cell Cycle - M Stage(s) - Anaphase 1. Sister chromatids separate, 2. daughter chromosomes pulled to opposite poles; 3. microtubles disassemble
Cell Cycle - M Stage(s) - Telophase 1. Nuclear envelope forms, 2. spindle disappears
Cell Cycle - M Stage(s) - Cytokinesis Cytoplasm separates/divides
Dehydration puts ---- into ------ monomers together into polymers
Hydrolosis separates ---- into ---- polymers into monomers
Dehydration puts together or separates? puts monomers TOGETHER into polymers
Hydrolosis puts together or separates? SEPARATES polymers into monomers
Test cross 1. Cross between dominant and recessive phenotype; 2. results show if dominant phenotype is homo- or hetreozygous
Homozygous Both alles are the same (HH, hh)
Hetreozygous Both alles are different (Hh)
Replication DNA is unwound, then seperated
Transcription RNA receives instuctions from DNA; mRNA
Translation - 5 steps 1. Converts mRNA into proteins; 2. occurs at ribosomes, 3. mRNA gives instructions, 4. tRNA finds amino acids, 5. then forms proteins
36-38 ATP Maximum ATP produced from one molecule of glucose
haploid 23 chromosomes in meosis (22 autosomes, 1 sex);
diploid 46 chromosomes/23 pairs in mitosis (44 autosomes, 2 sex
Down Syndrome 23rd chromosome
Klienfelter XXY male
Jacob's XYY male
Turner's XO female

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.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
