Term
Plasmolysis
Definition
cellular shrinkage occurring as a result of a cell being exposed to a hypertonic solution.
Term
Eukaryote
Definition
Found in unicelluar (protists), multicelluar (plants, animals, and fungi). Have a distinct nucleus surrounded by a nuclear membrane. Has membrane bound organelles and some have cell walls.
Term
Prokaryote
Definition
Found in Bacteria and Archae. Generally unicellular. Some of these cells such as bacteria have a cell wall,and can use flagella for motility. Some contain chlorophyll.
Term
Photosynthesis Equation
Definition
6CO2 + 6H2O + light --> C6H12O6 + 6O2

2NADP + 2H20 + light --> 2NADPH + 02
Term
What concentration of sucrose was used in the photo experiment?
Definition
0.5 M sucrose
Term

Purple
Term
Gram (-) will be _________.
Definition
Pink
Term
What will happen if you put a red blood cell (isotonic = 0.9% NaCl) into a 1.5% NaCl solution?
Definition
The RBC will shrink/crenate (H20 moves out of cell to dilute environment)
Term
Osmosis
Definition
Movement of water molecules across a partially-permeable membrane down a water potential gradient.[1] More specifically, it is the movement of water across a partially permeable membrane from an area of high water potential (low solute concentration) to an area of low water potential (high solute concentration).

Term
Diffusion
Definition
The spread of particles through random motion from regions of higher concentration to regions of lower concentration.

Definition
Rod-shaped bacteria
Term
Cocci
Definition
Small sphered-shaped bacteria
Term
Spirilla
Definition
Corkscrew-shaped bacteria
