Unit 2
carbon ring structure, made from monosaccharides, Used for immediate energy, ex. glucose, fructose, lactose
charbohydrates
red cells, erythrocytes; white cells, leukocytes; and platelets, thrombocytes are produced in the bone marrow.
blood cell
Conversion of light energy from the sun into chemical energy.
Photosynthesis
controls what gets in and out of the cell
The cell membrane
division of the cytoplasm
Cytokinesis
an E like structure, made from fatty acids, used for installation, organ protection, and long term energy. Ex. oils,waxes,philosophids
lipids
The specific organization of a cell and its structure that allows it to perform a specific function.
specialization
the process by which cells use oxygen to produce energy from food
cellular respiration
What is the cell membrane made of?
phospholipid bilayer
what are the two main phases of the cell cycle?
Interphase and m phase
3 d like structures, made from amino acids, used for muscle growth. Ex. enzymes, hemoglobin
proteins
A threadlike, gene-carrying structure found in the nucleus. Each chromosome consists of one very long DNA molecule and associated proteins.
chromosome
The elements or compounds produced by a chemical reaction.- on the right side
Products
water loving (head of the phospolipid)
Hydrophilic
when the chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell (phase)
Metaphase
helix/double helix shape, made from nucleotides, used to store genetic information. EX. DNA and RNA
nucleic acids
An undifferentiated cell, taken from an embryo that has potential to give rise to various other cell or tissue types
embryonic stem cell
H20+CO2+SUN-->C6H12O6+O2
Chemical reaction of photosynthesis
A property of biological membranes that allows some substances to cross more easily than others.
selective permeability
Cleavage (phase)
Telophase
A type of protein that speeds up a chemical reaction in a living thing
enzymes
A unicellular organism that lacks a nucleus and membrane bound organelles
prokaryote
Response to light
Phototaxis
used to communicate with other cells, chemical id's for cells, and help longer chained substances cross the membrane
proteins in the cell membrane
DNA replication
S phase
