Mr Camp - Topic 1

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
active transport   process by which cells use energy (ATP) to transport molecules through a membrane from Low to High concentration. Also used for movement for large molecules, ex: protein, starch, lipids EX: phagocytosis & pinocytosis  
🗑
amino acid   building block of proteins, connected by peptide bonds  
🗑
cell   basic unit of structure and function, contains organelles  
🗑
cell (plasma) membrane   boundary between cell and its environment, has receptors with specific shapes for specific signals, transports materials into and out of the cell  
🗑
cell respiration   breaks down nutrients to release chemical energy (ATP), types include aerobic & anaerobic  
🗑
Aerobic cell respiration - EQUATION   C6H12O6 + O2 --> H2O + CO2 + 36 ATP  
🗑
chloroplast   organelle of plants cells, green color (cholorphyll), site of photosynthesis  
🗑
circulation   flow of material within a cell and between parts of multicellular organisms  
🗑
cytoplasm   jellylike substance of a cell, holds the organelles  
🗑
diffusion   movement of molecules from High to Low concentration, NO ATP required, for small particles ex: amino acids, glucose, CO2, O2, type of passive transport  
🗑
digestion   process that breaks down large, complex substances into small, simple substances  
🗑
enzymes   type of protein, has an active site with a specific shape, works on specific substrate, speed up chemical reactions  
🗑
excretion   removal of METABOLIC wastes from the cell or body  
🗑
metabolic wastes (4)   water, salt, urea & carbon dioxide  
🗑
homeostasis   a.k.a. dynamic equilibrium, maintain constant stable internal conditions regardless of changes in the internal &/or external environment  
🗑
hormone   chemical message produced by an endocrine gland, has a specific shape, binds to receptors with matching shape, found on the TARGET, travels via bloodstream, causes a specific response in target  
🗑
immunity   body's ability to destroy pathogens  
🗑
pathogen   foreign substance, a.k.a. microbe, ex: virus, bacteria, fungus, germ  
🗑
active immunity   when the body is exposed to a pathogen and MAKES its own antibodies. EX: vaccine, become sick  
🗑
vaccine   shot or dead or weakened pathogens into an individual, forces body to make specific antibodies for the specific pathogen  
🗑
passive immunity   when the individual is given the antibodies for a specific disease. EX: medicine from doctors, breast-feeding (newborn)  
🗑
antigen   marker of the surface of a cell that allows individual's body to identify as "self" or "non-self". If "non-self" then WBC will attack (immune response)  
🗑
inorganic   substance that does not contain Carbon or Hydrogen. EX: water (H2O), Carbon dioxide (CO2), oxygen (O2), salt (NaCl)  
🗑
metabolsim   all chemical reactions that occur in a cells of an organism. GRRRNETS  
🗑
mitochondria   "powerhouse" of the cell, site of respiration (aerobic & anaerobic), releases ATP from nutrients  
🗑
nucleus   controls the cell's metabolism (life functions)and stores genetic information (DNA)  
🗑
organ   made of different tissues combined to perform a specific function  
🗑
organ system   consists of several organs that work together to perform a major function of the body  
🗑
organelle   structure of a cell that carries out a specific function  
🗑
receptor molecule   protein molecule with a specific shape for specific signal (chemical message,hormone) , found on the surface of a TARGET cell, a specific reaction(response) will follow  
🗑
reproduction   process where an organism produces new organism of the same type, EX: sexual & asexual  
🗑
sexual reproduction   requires two parents, sperm and egg, offspring is a mixture of parent DNA, offspring has genetic variation  
🗑
asexual reproduction   only one parent required, offspring genetically identical to offspring (NO genetic variation)  
🗑
5 types of asexual reproduction   sporulation, binary fission, budding, regenration, vegetative propagation  
🗑
Anerobic cell respiration   process by which chemical bond energy stored in nutrients (ex: glucose) is released for our cells use, WITHOUT the use of oxygen, cause burning sensation in muscles (lactic acid), occurs during exercise (physical activity)  
🗑
Anerobic respiration - EQUATION   C6H12O6 --> H2O + CO2 + 2ATP + Lactic acid  
🗑
ribosome   found in cytoplasm of cell, site of protein synthesis  
🗑
simple sugars   Ex: glucose (C6H12O6), easily pass through cell membrane WITHOUT the use of energy  
🗑
synthesis   life process that combines simple substances into more complex substances  
🗑
tissue   group of specialized cells that perform a specific function  
🗑
vacuole   storage sacs within cytoplasm of a cell, contain either waste, water or food  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
