Cell Theory

All living things are composed of 1 or more cells


The cell is the most basic unit of life


All cells arise from pre-existing cells

Differences Between Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes

Prokaryotes have small ribosomes, no nucleus and no organelles.


Eukaryotes have large ribosomes, a nucleus, and organelles

What is the difference between dependent and independent variables?

Dependent variables are affected by the independent variables.

List the levels of organization.

Cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, and organisms

Enzyme

Substance produced by a living organism that acts as a catalyst to bring about a specific biochemical reaction

Catalyst

a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without itself undergoing a permanent chemical change.

How do enzymes speed up a chemical reaction?

By breaking down the substance that is undergoing a chemical reaction

How does the temperature affect the enzyme reactions?

It can slow the reactions down if the temperature is too hot.

Diffusion

Joining of Substances by the natural movements of their particles

Active Transport

The movements of ions or molecules across a cell membrane into a region of higher concentration

Passive Transport

Is a movement of biochemicals and other atomic or molecular substances across cell membranes without the use of chemical energy

Facilitated Diffusion

Spontaneous passive transport of molecules across a biological membrane

Endocytosis

Taking in of matter by a living cell in a vacuole

Exocytosis

A process by which the content of a vacuole are released to the exterior through fusion of the vacuole membrane.

Proteins

Monomers: Amino Acids


Functions: Cell Structure

Nucleic Acids

Monomer: Nucleotide


Function: Provide instructions for DNA

Carbohydrates

Monomer: Monosaccharides


Function: Provides energy for the cell

Lipids

Monomer: Glycerol/ Fatty Acids


Function: Stores energy for the Cell

Compare and contrast Plant cells

Plant: Large Vacuole, Chloroplast, Cell Wall


Animal: Small Vacuole, Cell membrane, No cell Wall

What organelles do plant cells have that animal cells do not?

Chloroplasts and a cell wall

Number the phases of Mitosis

Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase,and Cytokinesis

After cell division, the __________________


should have the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell

Daughter cell

___________ is the division of the nucleus

Prophase

The process in the cell cycle where the cytosplasm divides and forms two new identical daughter cells is known as _______________

Mitosis

___________ cells do not respond to the signals that regulate the growth of most cells

Cancer

_____________ is when the chromatin condenses into chromosomes, the centrioles seperate and a spindle begins to form

Cytokinesis

The chromosomes line up across the middle in ______________

Metaphase

The chromosomes gather at opposite ends of the cell and two nuclear envelopes will form in _______________

Telophase

In ________________ the sister chromatids separate into individual chromosomes and are pulled apart

Anaphase

________________ cells may break loose from tumors and spread throughout the body disrupting normal activities and causing serious complications that could result in death

Cancer

The cell undergoes G1-cell growth, S phase-DNA Replication, and G2-Preparation for mitosis in _________________

S-Phase

Tobacco use, radiation exposure, and viral infections are causes of ______________

Cancer

Research treatments for types of cancer would be beneficial if they halted __________________

Interphase

Translate this into mRNA


TAC-GGC-ATA-TTA-GGC-CCA-ATT

AUG-CCG-UAU-AAU-CCG-GGU-UAA

What kind of mutation would happen if there was an extra letter at the end of the sequence?

Insortion

Organisms that have 2 alleles for a particular trait?

Homozygous

Organisms that have 2 different alleles for a particular trait?

Heterozygous

Chemical factors that determine traits?

Genes

Chromosomes that have a corresponding matching chromosome from the opposite sex parent?

Homologous

Specific physical characteristics of an organism?

Trait

Genetic makeup?

Genotype

Physical Traits of an organism?

Phenotype

Different forms of a gene?

Allele

What is the difference between dominance and codominance?

Codominance has 2 dominant alleles


What id the difference between dominance and incomplete dominance?

Incomplete dominance has 2 colors that make another color.
