Cards

Term
Membranes
Definition
Organize many reactions, many organelles are bound by membranes
Term
Plasma Membrane
Definition
outer layer of cells, controls traffic in and out of the cell,
Term
Phospholipids
Definition
membranes are a double layer of these, hydrophilic head hydrophobic tail
Term
Phospholipid Bilayer
Definition
formed by phospholipids: the hydrophilic heads face the water and the tails face each other
Term
Selective Permeability
Definition
membranes allow some substances to cross more easily than others,
Term
Active Transport
Definition
requires energy, Larger molecules and those with a charge need assistance to move across the membrane
Term
Passive Transport
Definition
does not require energy, from higher to lower concentrations
Term
Simple Diffusion
Definition
the tendency for molecules to spread out into the available space
Ex. Food Coloring
Term
Facilitated Diffusion
Definition
some molecules need assistance to diffuse across the membrane
Term
Osmosis
Definition
the transport (diffusion) of water across a selectively permeable membrane, water moves to the side with less solute.
Term
Kinetic vs Potential Energy
Definition
Kinetic=energy in movement
Potential=stored energy
Term
Chemical Energy
Definition
a form of potential energy stored in molecules
Term
ATP
Definition
Adenosine Triphosphate: carries energy for almost all work within cells in the bond between the 2nd and 3rd phosphate groups
Term
ATP in Glucose Molecule
Definition
One ATP molecule is 1% of an entire Glucose molecule
Term
Enzymes
Definition
proteins that serves as biological catalysts which increase the rate of a reaction without itself being changed
Term
Enzymes Use
Definition
Enzymes help chemical reactions happen quickly and precisely, at normal cell temperatures
Term
How Enzymes Work
Definition
Enzymes can break down substrates or bond substrates together
Term
Stomata
Definition
Microscopic openings on leaves, open and close
Term
Chloroplast Structure
Definition
Thylakoid- green, membrane bound disks within chloroplasts – containing pigments
Stroma - thick, sugary fluid around thylakoids
Term
Chlorphyll a&b
Definition
absorb photons of violet, blue and red wavelengths and reflect green and yellow
Term
Carotenoids
Definition
absorb photons of green blue and violet and reflect red, yellow and orange
Term
Light Reactions
Definition
1.Split water
2. Sunlight is used to excite hydrogen electrons (from water) to high energy state
3.Photons from sunlight excites the electrons a second time
Term
Calvin Cycle
Definition
Glucose is made from:
1. CO2 from the air
2. Hydrogen From Water
3. ATP from light reactions
Term
Glucose Use
Definition
for cellular respiration
Term
Greenhouse Effect/Global Warming/Climate Change
Definition
Excessive Greenhouse Effect is called Global Warming and can lead to Climate Change
Term
Photosynthesis
Definition
uses water, CO2, energy from sun. makes glucose, releases oxygen
Term
Cellular Respiration
Definition
Glucose is broken down using waste products.
CO2 and water are released.
Term
Glycolysis
Definition
takes place in the cytoplasm, Glucose is broken in half, small amount of ATP is released, then high energy hydrogen electrons are carried to ETC
Term
Citric Acid (Krebs Cycle)
Definition
sugar is broken down completely, then high energy hydrogen electrons carried to ETC
Term
ATP yield from cellular respiration
Definition
2 glycolysis
2 krebs cycle
34 ETC
Term
Fermentation
Definition
Anaerobic alternative to aerobic respirtation
(Alcohol, Lactic Acid)
Term
Why cells reproduce themselves
Definition
Enable a multicellular organism to grow to adult size
Replace worn out or damaged cells
Add new cells
Reproduction of the species
Term
Cell Cycle
Definition
PMAT- Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase (Middle), Anaphase (Apart), Telophase (Two Separate Nuclei), Cytokinesis (Two Daughter Cells)
Term
Meiosis
Definition
the process that produces haploid egg and sperm
two stages
Term
Haploid & Diploid
Definition
Haploid=23
Diploid=46
Term
Two Rules of pairing between Nitrogenous Bases
Definition
Adenine-->Thymine (2 hydrogen bonds)
Guanine-->Cytosine (3 hydrogen bonds)
-->=bond
Term
Transcription
Definition
DNA-->mRNA
Term
Translation
Definition
mRNA-->Protein
Term
Contact Inhibition
Definition
a control mechanism where normal animal cells stop dividing when they come in contact with other cells
Term
Proto-oncogenes
Definition
normal and necessary genes the regulate cell division and cell growth
Term
Oncogenes
Definition
Proto-oncogenes that have had a mutation in some part of their DNA causing them to always be turned β€œon”
Term
p53
Definition
critical tumor suppressor gene
