matter   anything that takes up space  
🗑
water   65% of who you are is water  
🗑
atom   center of atom is nucleus which consists of protons and neutrons and electrons float around  
🗑
protons   are positive charge  
🗑
neutrons   are neutral charges  
🗑
electrons   are negative charges  
🗑
ions   a charged particle carries a charge  
🗑
ionic bond   occurs when a positive and negative charges / ions come together and neutralizes charge they balance each other out  
🗑
covalent bond   when you have elements that are negatively charged but they share the bond / electrons equally  
🗑
molecule   is formed when you have two or more atoms that come together  
🗑
compound   two or more different elements that come together  
🗑
acid   is a substance that will give hydrogen off  
🗑
base   is an ion that will accept hydrogen  
🗑
ph   measures how much concentration of hydrogen in a solution  
🗑
ph scale   measures from 0 to 14 (zero to fourteen) 50% hydrogen concentration 7 is the exact middle (neutral) example pure distilled water is 7 anything less than that is acidic anything more is basic  
🗑
buffer   is a solution that prevents a change in the ph balance  
🗑
carbohydrates   organic substance that provide energy for cellular activities and are composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.  
🗑
Lipids   organic substance that are insoluble in water and include fats, phospholipids, and steroids.  
🗑
saturated fatty acids   steak beef butter  
🗑
unsaturated fatty acids   salmon, olive oil, better for you they digest different  
🗑
phospholipids   body uses to make the cell wall  
🗑
proteins   what the structure of a protein is and how you break it down  
🗑
primary structure   long chain of amino acids  
🗑
secondary structure   long chain of amino acids pleated or twisted into a coil  
🗑
Tertiary   more pleats and twists into a globular form looks like a glob  
🗑
Quaternary   two or more strands join into a larger molecule  
🗑
protein breakdown   when your body breaks it down its opposite and starts from 4, 3, 2, 1 (quaternary, tertiary, secondary, primary)  
🗑
conformations   determine how proteins function  
🗑
denaturation   disruption of a proteins shape by ph

🗑
cell membrane   is made up of many phospholipids entire outside layer (skin) is phospholipids  
🗑
Nucleus   where your DNA is stored  
🗑
Rough Endoplasmic reticulum   (rough ER) synthesis protein what makes it rough are ribosomes they build a protein a long chain of amino acids  
🗑
smooth endoplasmic reticulum   (smooth ER) synthesizes lipids it makes the lipids  
🗑
Golgi apparatus   grabs newly formed amino acid edits chains allows it to fold then delivers it, it is like the protein protector you need protein because they do everything  
🗑
mitochondria   produces energy in the form of ATP  
🗑
Note   think of a cell as if is a city and you have to get rid of the trash  
🗑
peroxisome   destroys junk-waste and breaks it down  
🗑
lysosomes   has two functions it can destroy the waste it can recycle it  
🗑
flagellum   is like a propeller it pushes a cell forward example-sperm  
🗑
cilia   are hair like structure that allows the cell to attached and move a little bit  
🗑
cytoskeleton   it gives the cell its structure or hold its shapes  
🗑


   

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.
