Question
Answer
Plant cells and animal cells   nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum (rough and smooth), Golgi apparatus, ribosome, cytoplasm, plasma membrane, mitochondrion, cytoskeleton  
🗑
Animal cells   centriole, lysosomes, vesicles  
🗑
Plant cells   chloroplasts, central vacuole, cell wall  
🗑
Centrioles   micro-tubules that assist in cell division, are organized in 9 triplets  
🗑
Gene   functional unit controlling inherited trait expressions  
🗑
Protein Synthesis   Transcription and translation  
🗑
Transcription   DNA polymerase unwinds DNA and binds to promoter region (TATAA sequence), RNA polymerase creates newly synthesized strand of mRNA, introns are removed from strand, 5 carbon end has protective cap, 3 carbon end has poly-A tail  
🗑
Translation   mRNA moves to ribosome, tRNA is activated by special enzyme, tRNA uses anti-codons to read codons and code for an amino acid from mRNA sequence, tRNA reaches a stop codon and releases the newly made amino acid sequence  
🗑
DNA/RNA   DNA is double stranded, RNA is single stranded, DNA has thymine base, RNA has uracil base, DNA has deoxyribose sugar, RNA has ribose sugar  
🗑
Light/Electron Microscopes   light uses a series of lenses, electron uses magnets with a beam of electrons, light can show live specimens in color, electrons can only show dead specimens in black and white  
🗑
Vascular tissues   specialized internal tubes that conduct water/minerals/sugars  
🗑
Leaf Structure   upper epidermis, palisade layer (where chloroplasts are), spongy layer, lower epidermis  
🗑
Monocots   single cotyledon, parallel veins in leaf, flower parts in multiples of 3  
🗑
Dicots   2 cotyledons, feather-like veins in leaf, flower parts in multiples of 4 or 5  
🗑
Light Reaction   consists of photosystems, electron transport chains, ATP synthase, functions to make energy carrier molecules for second stage, requires water and light  
🗑
Calvin Cycle   starts with carbon dioxide combining with RuBp, turns into 3-phosphoglycerate, uses energy carrier molecules to turn this into glyceraldehyde 3 phosphate (G3P), 2 of which make glucose, the rest used to make RuBp with rubisco enzyme to continue cycle  
🗑
Photoperiods   flowering response of a plant based on number of hours of darkness received  
🗑
Tropisms   plant's growth response to external stimulus, phototropism, gravitropism, thigmotropism  
🗑
Lytic Cycle   virus enters host cell and injects genetic material, host cell replicates viral DNA, genes code for parts of a virus, new viruses are assembled, lytic cycle produces immediate infections such as common cold, flu  
🗑
Lysogenic Cycle   viral DNA enters host cell's nucleus and becomes part of chromosomes, viral DNA stays dormant for a while and is permanent, genes are activated and virus parts are assembled and made into new viruses, produces latent infections such as HIV/AIDS, herpes  
🗑
Plant hormones   auxin, gibberellins, cytokinin, ethylene  
🗑
Auxin   stimulates elongation of plant cells by promoting flow of H+ ions into cell wall and out of cytoplasm, this weakens cell wall and expands cytoplasm by water influx, auxin inhibits growth of side branches/leaves, favors vertical growth  
🗑
Gibberellins   mainly causes a plant to grow taller, it is transported by vascular tissues, is not present in all plants, only present in tall plants  
🗑
Ethylene   gaseous hormone that causes ripening of fruits, works by weakening cell walls of plant cells and breaking down complex carbohydrates into simple sugars creating softer, sweeter fruits, is transported by the phloem  
🗑
Cytokinin   promotes cell division with proteins needed for mitosis and cytokinesis  
🗑
bacteria/eubacteria   cell walls made of peptidoglycan, some have second cell wall, others are photosynthetic bacteria  
🗑
archaeabacteria   live in hostile environments (e.g. high salt concentration, high temperatures, etc.)  
🗑
anaerobes   organisms that can live without oxygen  
🗑
halophiles   live in high salt concentrations  
🗑
methanogens   must live without oxygen, use carbon dioxide for respiration and emit methane  
🗑
Bacteria/Archaea   different lipids in plasma membrane, archaea have ribosomal proteins similar to eukaryotic cells, bacteria have peptidoglycan in cell walls  
🗑
Benefits of Bacteria   used to make foods such as yogurt, cheese, chocolate, buttermilk, pickles, normal flora thrive in normal human beings to protect against many other ailments, recycle nutrients, nitrogen fixation cycle, defense in the body  
🗑
Disease Causing Bacteria   botulism, tooth cavities, cholera, strep throat, anthrax, tuberculosis, whooping cough, tetanus, typhoid fever, Lyme disease, etc.  
🗑
Sponge Characteristics   no tissues/organs, no symmetry, have one body opening, 2 cell layers, when broken in 2 pieces, 2 new organisms will form, use filter feeders to get food, can reproduce asexually or sexually, most are hermaphrodites  
🗑
Sponge Examples   desmosponge, glass sponge, calcareous sponge  
🗑
Cnidarian Characteristics   2 cell layers, one body opening, have tissues, tentacles, and symmetry, tentacle cells called cnidocytes use nematocyst capsules to capture prey, gastrovascular cavity digests prey, has a nervous system with a nerve net that conducts impulses  
🗑
Cnidarian Examples   jellyfish, sea anemone  
🗑
Flatworm Characteristics   thin/flat shaped body, definite head region, uses pharynx to capture slow moving prey, digests food with enzymes, cells use diffusion to move oxygen and nutrients around the body, use regeneration, and are hermaphrodites  
🗑
Flatworm Examples   tapeworm, fluke  
🗑
Roundworm Characteristics   fluid filled body cavities, use diffusion for oxygen and nutrients, act as decomposers, predators, or parasites, have muscles that allow thrashing movements, reproduce sexually but are not hermaphrodites  
🗑
Roundworm Examples   trichinella worms  
🗑
Mollusk Characteristics   complex tissues/organs, muscles, mantle membrane encloses internal organs, radula is tongue-like organ with teeth, scrapes food in mouth, uses gills in respiration, circulatory system, nephridia gets rid of wastes by filtering, sexual reproduction  
🗑
