a compound light microscope canmagnify a specimen how many times?
up to 1000x
this type of microscope can magnify an image up to 1 million times
TEM
transmission electron microscope
What is the unique feature about the scanning electron microscope?
it shows a magnified 3-d image/surface features only
this structure plays an important role in interactions between cells and regulates what substances can enter and leave the cell
plasma membrane
a linker in a cell membrane contributes to giving the cell/membrane structure and also what
link cells together
smooth ER is responsible for synthesis of what?
Lipids
Rough ER is responsible for synthesis of what
Ribosomes
This is the control center of the cell
nucleus
this is the powerhouse of every cell - it converts some nutrients into usable forms of energy for the cell.
mitochondria
the functions of the golgi apparatus are what?
sort and modify proteins and then package them to be exported from the cell
what part of the cells remove waste and foreign materials from the cell and also help with destroying old cells
lysosomes
what in a cells have enzymes that destroy harmful waste products of metabolism
peroxisomes
these organelles that are rod-shaped bodies near the nucleus that function in the cell division
centrioles
this subunit of a chromosome codes for a specific characteristic each
Gene
name the 3 units that compose a nucleotide
sugar (ribose in RNA, Deoxyribose in DNA)
phosphate
nitrogenous base
name the nucleotide pairings in RNA
A-U, G-C
adenine - uracil
Guanine - Cytosin
name the nucleotide pairings in DNA
A-T, G-C
adenine - thymine
Guanine - cytosine
phase of mitosis, where the DNA uncoils and each strand accepts matching nucleotides to form 2 new strands
interphase
phase of mitosis the chromosomes are lined up across the equator or the cell attached to spindle fibers
metaphase
phase of mitosis the centromere splits and the chromosomes duplicates separate and begine to move toward opposite ends of the cell
anaphose
define the difference between diffusion and osmosis
Osmosis is a special type of diffusion; osmossis, water moves from one area of higher water concentration to an area of lower concentration through a semi-permeable membrane
process that allows a substance/particles to move with the concentration gradient by providing a pathway fro the substance to travel across a membrane that it other wise would not be able to cross
facilitated diffusion
process a substance is pumped (requiring ATP) against the concentration gradient
Active transport
process that involves the plasma membrane wrapping around relatively large particles to draw them into the cell
phagocytosis
process involves the membrane surrounding droplets of fluid to draw them into the cell
pinocytosis
a cell is places in a solution with a higher concentration of particles than the intracellular fluid. This extracellular fluid is then labeled what?
hypertonic

disease
the term for the study of how the body functions
physiology
levels of organization of the human body
chemicals -> cells -> tissues -> organs -> systems -> organism
4 structures associated with the skin that together form the integumentary system
hair, nails, sweat glands, oil glands
3 types of muscle in our muscular system
skeletal, smooth, cardiac
basic role of the brain in body function
directs responses to stimuli
complex substances are broken down into simpler compounds
catabolic
simple compounds are used to manufacture materials needed for growth, function and repair of tissues
anabolism
what does ATP stand for, what is it's role in the human body
Adenosine Triphosphate;
energy currency for the body
what is the term used to refer to the was that normal body function maintains a state of internal balance
homeostasis
the number of electrons gained or lost in chemical reaction is known as the atom's what?
valence electrons
name the 3 particles in each atom and what each has for an electrical charge
proton - positive
neutron - neutral
electrons - negative
what determines an element's atomic number
number of protons
when 2 or more atoms unite based on their valence properties, the new structure is called a ?
molecule
a specific type of mixture where one substance dissolves in another is called what?
solution
substance that is dissolved in a solution is called what
solute
what defines an aqueous solution
water is the solvent
a mixture in which a substance must be constantly stirred to keep one substance evenly distributed within the surrounding "background material" is called a what?
suspension/heterogeneous mixture
define how an ionic bond forms between 2 atoms
electrons are transferred from one to the other
compounds formed by ionic bonds that dissolve by releasing ions into solution are called what?
electrolytes
a cation has what charge?
positive
