Term
bias
Definition
opinion
Term
deals with morals and can't be answered by science
Definition
ethics
Term
energy needed from cells comes from ________.
Definition
macromolecules
Term
what are the four macromolecules?
Definition
proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, nucleic acids
Term
what are the seven themes of biology?
Definition
cell structure & function, reproduction, metabolism, homeostasis, heredity, evolution, interdependence
Term
passive transport
Definition
no ATP needed
Term
diffusion
Definition
passive transport - molecules move from high to low concentration area.
Term
equilibrium
Definition
concentration of molecules is same throughout a space
Term
concentration gradient
Definition
difference in concentration of molecules across a space
Term
osmosis? example?
Definition
diffusion of water across a semipermeable membrane. passive transport ex) gummy bears in water.
Term
hypertonic solution
Definition
water diffuses out of cell, cell shrinks
Term
hypotonic solution
Definition
water diffuses into cell, cell swells.
Term
isotonic solution
Definition
no movement, concentration of solutes in & out of cell are equal. (ideal condition)
Term
facilitated diffusion
Definition
helped across membrane by carrier proteins that are embedded in membrane. passive transport.
Term
some are always open. others have gates that open to allow ions to pass or close to stop their passage.
Definition
ion channels
Term
what is active transport?
Definition
requires energy (ATP). molecules move against concentration gradient- lo to hi.
Term
Active transport often involves __________ _________ like those in facilitated difusions.
Definition
carrier proteins
Term
Carrier proteins act as _____ that use energy to move ions and molecules across membrane.
Definition
pumps
Term
What do sodium-potassium pumps do?
Definition
important for muscle contractions. in animal cells, they pump sodium ions out and potassium in, up the concentration gradient. (uses ATP)
Term
ratio for sodium potassium pumps?
Definition
2K in, 3NA out!! (:
Term
cell membrane folds into a pouch that encloses the particles and comes INTO the cell
Definition
endocytosis
Term
exocytosis
Definition
goes OUT of the cell.
Term
3 parts to cell theory:
Definition
1. all cells come from pre-existing cells. 2. all cells are made up of living things. 3. cells are basic unit of living things.
Term
Schleiden
Definition
concluded that all plants are made of cells
Term
Schwann
Definition
discovered that all animals are made up of cells
Term
Virchow
Definition
proposed that all cells come from other cells
Term
What do enzymes do?
Definition
speed up chemical reactions in the body.
Term
the reactants that the catalyst or enzyme binds with to in turn speed up the reaction.
Definition
substrate
Term
the ____ _________ is a phospholipid bilayer. keeps the cell together.
Definition
cell membrane
Term
the ______ is the main control center of the cell. contains DNA. has a membrane.
Definition
nucleus
Term
basically the "soup" of the cell.
Definition
cytoplasm
Term
The ________ endoplasmic reticulum produces lipids and other membrane proteins. not covered by ribosomes.
Definition
smooth
Term
The _____ ER is covered by ribosomes and produces other proteins.
Definition
rough
Term
What do ribosomes do?
Definition
produce proteins. codes for DNA.
Term
the "powerhouse" of the cell. provides ATP. cellular respiration.
Definition
mitochondria
Term
_______ are the storage compartments of the cells. hold water in plant cells.
Definition
vesicles & vacuoles
Term
golgi apparatus
Definition
packaging center of the cell. packages different chemicals & proteins and prepares them for transportation.
Term
lysosomes
Definition
contain enzymes that help digest food.
Term
__________ are found only in plant cells. contain clorophyll. photosynthesis.
Definition
chloroplasts
Term
cell wall
Definition
found only in plant cells. rigid outer layer.
