Biology

The study of life

The first part of the cell theory states

that all living beings are made up of cells

The second part of the cell theory states

that all cells come from other cells

The third part of the cell theory states

that the cell is the fundamental unit of structure and function in all living organisms

The process used by plants and algae to make energy

Charles Darwin in mostly associated with and credited with the creation of

natural selection

Homeostasis

The steady state of bodily functionality

Taxonomy

The branch of biology concerned with identifying, naming, and classifying species

Reproduction

The creation of new individuals from existing ones

Ionic Bond

The attraction between two ions with opposite electrical charges

Covalent Bonds

An attraction between atoms that share one or more pairs of outer shell electrons

Hydrogen Bond

A type of weak chemical bond formed when a partially positive hydrogen atom from one polar molecule is is attracted to the partially negative atom in another water molecule

How do single celled organisms move with flagella?

The flagella is like a whip, which beats around the water or other liquid, which propels the organism forward

How do single celled organisms move with cilia?

Cilia act as oars, which allow the single celled organism to move rapidly through the liquid

How do single celled organisms move with pseudopodia?

They move part of themselves into an area, then slowly flow into that designated.

Acids

Donate hydrogen ions and have a pH of under seven (>7)

Bases

Donates a hydroxide ions and have a pH of over seven (<7)

List the four most abundant elements within the body

Oxygen, Carbon, Hydrogen, and Nitrogen

List the three domains of life

Eukarya, Archaea, and Bacteria

Do prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells have membrane bound organelles?

Eukaryotic; Prokaryotes do not have organelles

DNA in prokaryotic cells is in

the center of the organism; the cytoplasm

DNA in eukaryotic cells is in

the nucleus

Which is multicellular, eukaryotic cells or prokaryotic cells?

Eukaryotic cells; prokaryotics cells are mainly single celled

Plasma Membrane

Semi-permeable barrier allowing very few molecules both in and out of the cell while keeping in the majority of the chemicals created within the cell

Chloroplasts

Holds own DNA, called cpDNA, and creates energy for plant cells via photosynthesis (only available in plant cells)

Ribosomes

Organelle where RNA is transmitted into proteins

Golgi Apparatus

changes molecules and divides them into small membrane contained sacs called vesicles

Vacuoles

Single membrane organelles that are mainly used as storage

Microtubules

Component of the cytoplasm

Mitochondria

A part of tissue cells that consist of an inner and outer membrane; called the "power plants" of the cell, for they are what create ATP

Smooth ER

Part of the transport system of the cell; the smooth endoplasmic reticulum does not have ribosomes connected to it

Nucleus

Where DNA is kept and RNA is transcribed

Cell Wall

A trait unique to plant cells, the cell wall is a second membrane surrounding the plasma membrane of the cell; made of carbohydrates, and much more solid

Rough ER

Part of the transport system of the cell; the rough ER has ribosomes connected to it
