Cards

Term
Variables (Manipulated, responding, controlled)
Definition
Term
Characteristics of life
Definition
Cells, organization, energy use, homeostasis, growth, reproduction
Term
Elements found in living things
Definition
Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen
Term
Carboyrdrates
Definition
Shaped in a ring, a monosaccharide, disaccharide, or polysaccharide. They are used for energy. Examples include sugars.
Term
Monosaccharides, disaccharides, polysaccharides
Definition

Monosaccharide=one sugar

disaccharide=two sugars

polysaccharides=three or more sugars

Term
Lipids-General structure, functions and examples
Definition
chain of hydro carbons, used for long term energy. Examples include cholesterol
Term

Saturated/Unsaturated fatty acids

Definition
saturated fatty acids are full of more hydrogen
Term
Proteins-Structure and function
Definition
Made from a long line of amino acids. They are used for building tissues.
Term
Connections between amino acids, protein shape, and function
Definition
Amino acids are lined up, and the shape of the protein is determined by what order the amino acids form. The function of the protein is determined by the shape of the protein molecule.
Term
Enzymes-lock and key model
Definition
An enzyme is like a lock and key. Only the correct combination of lock and key will allow the enzyme to work.
Term
Factors that affect enzymes
Definition
Heat, pH levels, etc.
Term
Differences between prokaryotes and eukaryotes
Definition
Eukaryotes have membranes around organelles, prokaryotes do not.
Term
Cell parts- Structure and function
Definition
organelles act as the different jobs that a cell has to do. For example, the nucleus supplies genectic information.
Term
Cell membrane lipids-hydrophillic vs. hydrophobic
Definition
Hydrophillic heads and hydrophobic tails.
Term
Ossmosis and diffusion
Definition
The passing of a substance through the cellular membrane. Osmosis is just diffusion of water.
Term
Facillated diffusion and active transport
Definition
When a substance is brought in using energy.
Term
Exocytosis and Endocytosis
Definition
Endocytosis is bringing something into a cell, exocytosis is dispelling something from a cell.
Term
Photosynthesis equation
Definition
6 CO2+6 H2O+ sunlight= C6 H12 06+ 6 O2
