|
What was the earth like 4 billion years ago?
|
No atmosphere or water, 1 solid continent, volcanic activity, meteros which helped bring gases to start early atmosphere
|
|
How has the earth's climate changed?
|
before it was hot, warm and climate didnt vary, it had little or no polar ice, Today climate varies and polar ice
|
|
How have life forms on the planet changed over the past 4 billion years?
|
They became more complex in functions & structure. First trues cells werent aerobic, Due to nitrogen and volcanic activity, oxygen came along making aerobic cells causing eukaryotes to start being made
|
|
The larger a cell is the -- the surface to volume ratio becomes
|
SMALLER. If cell is too large, things wouldnt diffuse completely
|
|
2 types of passive transport
|
Osmosis and diffusion
|
|
True or false :
Facilitated diffusion requiers energy |
FALSE
|
|
Define facilitated diffusion
|
diffusion or materials across a cell membrane using molecules
|
|
Define active transport
|
energy requiring process that eneables a material to move across a cell membrane against concentration difference
|
|
Define endocytosis
|
the process of taking into cell by membrane folding
|
|
Define Phagocytosis
|
large particles taken in to cell by endocytosis. The cytoplasm extends to engulf the particle
|
|
Define Pinocytosis
|
liquid particles taken into cell by pockets in membrane to surround it
|
|
Define exocytosis
|
particles leaving cell with help of membrane fusing out content
|
