What is the Cell Theory?
|
-All living things are composed of one or more cells
-Cells are the basic unit of life -Cells are only produced from existing cells |
|
What are the basic cell structures?
|
Cellmembrane, cytoplasm, nucleus, nuclear membrane, chloroplast, cell wall, mitochondria, vacuole, chromosomes, ribosomes, endoplasmic retiiculum, lysosomes, Golgi complex
|
|
Functions of cell membrane?
|
thin membrane that surrounds the cell and controls what enters and leaves the nucleus
|
|
Functions of cytoplasm?
|
jelly like material inside cell
|
|
What is the difference between organic and inorganic compounds?
|
Organic contains carbon, inorganic does not.
|
|
Funtion of nucleus?
|
organelle that contains DNA (stores genetic information)-- all cells except bacteria
|
|
Funtion of nuclear membrane?
|
thin membrane that surrounds the nucleus and controls what enters and leaves the nucleus -- all cells except bacteria
|
|
Funtion of chloroplast?
|
organeele that makes food from CO2 and H2O using light energy; process called photosynthesis; contains chlorophyll -- green plant and green protists
|
|
Funtion of cell wall?
|
"boX" around some cells; provides support -- plants, green protists, fungi, and bacteria
|
|
Funtion of mitochondria?
|
powerhouse of cell; site of cell respiration -- all cells except bacteria
|
|
Funtion of vacuole?
|
stores water, dissolved materials, and wastes; is very large in plant cells -- all cells except bacteria
|
|
Funtion of chromosomes?
|
long strands of DNA tha tstore genetic information; instructions for how to make proteins -- all cells
|
|
Funtion of ribosomes?
|
small organeels that make proteins -- all cells
|
|
Funtion of endoplasmic reticulum?
|
network of channels that transports molecules; may have ribosomes on outside -- all cells except bacteria
|
|
Funtion of lysosomes?
|
stores digestive enzymes; digests wastes -- all cells except bacteria
|
|
Funtion of Golgi complex?
|
stores, changes, and releases molecules -- all cells except bacteria
|
|
What are the main chemical elements of living organisms?
|
Carbon, Hydorgen, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Phosphorus, Sulfur
|
|
What are the 3 chemical bonds?
|
Coalent (2 atoms share electrons), Ionic (atoms complete outer edge by stealing or giving away electrons), Hydrogen (forms when molecules are linked together)
|
|
What are the subunits of macromoleclues?
|
Lipids, carbohydrates, nucleotides, protein
|
|
What is diffusion? Which way will solutes flow in solution and across membranes?
|
Diffusion: net movenment of the particles of a substance from where they are more concentrated to where they are less concentrated
-equilibrium: balance -passive transport: diffusion across a membrane -facilitated diffusion: transport proteins provide pathway for certain molecules |
|
What is Osmosis? Which way will solutes flow in solution and across membranes?
|
Osmosis: passive transport of water across a selectively permeable membrane
-hypertonic: higher concentration of a solute -hypotonic: lower concentration -isotonic: equal |
|
What is an enzyme? What is its role?
|
specialized protein that catalyzes the chemical reactions of a cell
|
|
What are the reactants and products of Cellular Respiration?
|
C6H12O6 (Glucose) + O2 (Oxygen)-> -> CO2 (Carbon dioxide)+ H2O (Water) + about 38 ATP
|
|
What are the reactants and products of Photosynthesis?
|
CO2 (Carbon dioxide) + H2O (Water)-> -> C6H12O6 (Glucose) + O2 (Oxygen)
|
|
What are the stages of Mitosis?
|
Interphase -> Prophase -> Metaphase -> Anaphase -> Telophase and Cytokinesis
|
|
What are the products of mitosis and meiosis?
|
Mitosis - two identical daughter cells (2 diploid cells)
Meiosis - 4 haploid cells |
|
What were Mendel's experiments?
|
Mendel experimented in plan breeding -- cross-fertilization.
|
|
What is the difference between dominant and recessive?
|
Dominant: descriptive of an allele in a heterozygous that appears to be the only on affecting a trait
Recessive: descriptive of an allele in a heterozygous individual that does that appear to affect a trait |
|
What is the difference between genotype and phenotype?
|
Phenotype: observable traits of an organism
Genotype: gentic makeup of an organis; an organis's combination of alleles |
