Term
proton, neutron, electron
Definition
pro/neut inside w/ electrons on shell
Term
valence
Definition
# of electrons needed to fill shell-2 on first shell, 8 on second, 8 on third
Term
isotopes
Definition
unstable atoms w/o correct # of electrons
Term
covalent bond
Definition
strongest-share electrons
Term
ionic
Definition
moderate-electrons transferred
Term
hydrogen
Definition
weak-two polar molecules w/ H involved--DNA/Water
Term
pH level
Definition
scale from 1-14 w/ 1-6 acidic, 8-14 basic (acid=more H and base=less H)
Term
Carbohydrates
Definition
made of CH2O (energy)-have monosaccharides (one ring-glucose), disaccharides (two rings-sucrose), polysaccharides (many rings-starch)
Term
Lipids
Definition
fatty acid and glycerol (three fatty acid chains)-phospholipids (hydrophilic head and hydrophobic tails)--steroids not fatty acid or glycerol-have four random rings
Term
Proteins
Definition
made of amino acids-primary is order, secondary is configuration (alpha helix, beta pleated, random coil), tertiary is 3D appearance, quaternary is like collagen/hemoglobin
Term
Enzymes
Definition
end in "ase"-named after their molecule-recycled-lower activation energy to process reaction
Term
nucleic acids
Definition
made of nucleotides (phosphate, sugar, base)--DNA (double w/ thymine), RNA (single w/ uricil), hydrolysis (poly to mono), dehydration (mono to poly)
Term
microscope
Definition
cells discovered by Hooke
Term
compound vs electron
Definition
standard looks at dead things vs. complex (SEM for 3D surface or TEM for flat internal)
Term
endosymbiotic theory
Definition
one cell engulfed another and used symbiosis
Term
eukaryotes vs prokaryotes
Definition
nucleus, larger ribosomes, double DNA, cilia VS. no nucleus, single DNA, small ribosomes, no cilia/mitoch.
Term
extracellular environment
Definition
protein, cholesterol, phospholipids, carbs
Term
function of the membrane
Definition
transport thru bilayer-cell structure, recognition, communication, adhesion
Term
passive transport
Definition
don't need cellular energy-osmosis, diffusion, facilitated diffusion (needs protein)
Term
active transport
Definition
needs ATP-moves against the flow-endocytosis (taking in) and exocytosis (dumping)
Term
nucleus
Definition
houses DNA-porous-double membrane-makes mRNA to decode DNA to string together amino acids---translation (RNA made into protein)
Term
endoplasmic reticulum
Definition
most of the ribosomes-made of RNA/protein--RER has ribosomes, SER doesn't
Term
golgi apparatus
Definition
packaging/sorting guy
Term
endomembrane system
Definition
vesicles to transport proteins
Term
peroxisomes
Definition
breaks stuff down-degrades molecules-detoxifies
Term
lysosomes
Definition
intercellular digestion
Term
mitochondria
Definition
only in eukarys-powerhouse that makes ATP
Term
metabolism
Definition
anabolism-energy-building phase--active sites shaped by order of amino acids
Term
ATP
Definition
monomer (nucleotide)--ADP-->ATP by adding another phosphate--aerobic/anaerobic
Term
aerobic respiration
Definition
glucose and oxygen-->CO2 and H2O-->36 ATP----glycolysis-glucose in,pyruvate out,creates NADH shuttle--preparatory-pyruvate in,acetylcholae--Krebs-acetylcholae in,more NADH--electron transport chain-chemiosomatic (H from high to low concentration)---oxygen accepts electrons
Term
anaerobic respiration
Definition
no mitochondria-2ATP per glucose-lactic acid
Term
epithelial tissue
Definition
linings,glands,protection--named (squamous,cuboidal,columnar)-layers (simple,stratified)
Term
connective tissue
Definition
cells in a matrix (nonliving backdrop)--specialized--cartilage (chondrocytes)--bone (osteon arcs and osteocyte spaces)--blood (erythrocytes/red, leukocytes/white,platelets/cell pieces)--adipose (fat tissue)
Term
muscle tissue
Definition
skeletal (muscles to bone)--cardiac (heart,branched)--smooth (no striations)
Term
nervous tissue
Definition
neurons-
Term
integumentary system
Definition
protection w/ skin,nails,hair--resp. for body temp,defense,vitamin D,sensory reception,skin (epidermis w/ melanocytes,dermis,hypodermis
Term
cancer
Definition
uncontrolled cell division
Term
stages of cancer
Definition
1.hyperplasia-extra cell growth-not harmful--2.dysplasia-cells changing shape-not cancerous--3.metastatis-cancer cells can go anywhere--4.angiogenesis-blood vessels give blood to tumor--(thymine dimer-thymine binds together---BAD)
Term
types of skin cancer
Definition
basal carcinoma and squamous carcinoma (benign)--melanoma (melanocytes compromised-deadly)
