Cards

Term
First Law of Thermodynamics
Definition
Energy cannot be created or destroyed
Term
Living organisms characteristics
Definition

Living things are made of cells.

  • Living things obtain and use energy.
  • Living things grow and develop.
  • Living things reproduce.
  • Living things respond to their environment.
  • Living things adapt to their environment
Term
Cell Theory
Definition

All living organisms are composed of cells. They may be unicellular or multicellular.

The cell is the basic unit of life.

Cells arise from pre-existing cells.

Term
Eukaryotic VS Prokaryotic
Definition

Eukaryotic: All living things, DNA in nucleus,

Prokaryotic: Bacteria, DNA nucleoid

 

Term
Plants VS Animals
Definition

Plants: Cell wall, Larger Vacuole, Cytoplasm, chloroplast, ribosomes, Golgi complex, lysosome, smooth & rough ER, mitochondria nucleaus, Plasmodesmata, plastids,


Animals:  nucleus, Golgi complex, endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes, mitochondria, peroxisomes, cytoskeleton, and cell (plasma) membrane, Centrioles,

 

Term

What is Population?
Definition
inhabitants of particular town, country & area
Term
RNA vs DNA
Definition

RNA: Ribose sugar, Single stranded

DNA Deoxyribose Sugar, Double stranded

Term
Genotype VS Phenotype
Definition

Genotype: Genetics

Phenotypes: Physical characteristics

 

Term
Pyrimidine VS Purine
Definition

Pyrimidine: Adenine and guanine

Purines: Cytosine, thymine, uracil

 

Term

Definition
Atoms & Molecules > Cells > Tissue > Organs > Organ system > Multicellular Organisms > Population > Community > Ecosystem >Bioshpere
Term
Isotope? Ion?
Definition

Isotopes: They are still the same element. They are just a little different from every other atom of the same element. 


Ions: Ions are atoms with extra electrons or missing electrons. When you are missing an electron or two, you have a positive charge. When you have an extra electron or two, you have a negative charge.

Term

Hydrogen Bonds?

Covelent Bonds?

Polar Covalent Bonds?

Ionic Bonds?

Definition

HB: a bond where hydro is strong in electronegativity

CB:  share a one atom

PCB: H2O share electrons

IB: attract - & + to make it neutral

Term
Coehesive? Adhesive?
Definition

Cohesive: same molecules that stick together

 

Adhesive: different molecules that stick together

Term
Hydrophobic?  Hydrophillic?
Definition

Hydrophobic: dislikes water

Hydrophillic: likes water

Term
isomers? enantiomers?
Definition

Isomers: Isomers are compounds with the same molecular formula but different structural formulas. Isomers do not necessarily share similar properties, unless they also have the same functional groups


Enantiomers:are chiral molecules that are mirror images of one another. Furthermore, the molecules are non-superimposable on one another

Term
Incomplete dominant & Codominice
Definition

IC: Red & white = PINK (blends)

CD: Red & White = White with red dots.

(shows both colors)

Term
sex linked trait?
Definition

A trait associated with a gene that is carried only by the male or female parent.
