Characteristics & Processes of Life
The basic structure of all life
The Cell
the pod-shaped organelle that extracts energy from nutrients.
mitochondria
this organelle controls the transportation of materials into and out of the cell
Cell membrane
photosybthesis reaction
light energy + Water+carbon dioxide create glucose + oxygen
light + 6H2O + 6CO2 --> C6H12O6 + 6 O2
formula for respiration
oxygen and glucose go to carbon dioxide + water + ATP
The maintainance of internal stability
homeostasis
organelle only found in autotrophs
chloroplast
the movement of substances from a high concentration to a low concentration
diffusion
site of photosynthesis
chloroplast
happens in the cytoplasm. creates a net of 2 ATP & doesnot need oxygen.
The combination of all chemical reactions that occur in on organism.
metabolism
organelle only found in eukaryotes, controls the cell's metabolism. Also stores genetic material
Nucleus
the movement of water across a membrane
osmosis
benifit to plants of photosynthesis.
capture light energy and store it as chemical energy
must be present for the mitochondria to do respiration
oxygen
the breakdown of nutrients into smaller units to release chemical energy.
cellular resperation
organelle that ontains specialized structures, transports materials throughout the cell, site of many chemical reactions. A jelly like substance.
cytoplasm
the direction water moves when a cell is placed in saltwater
out of the cell.
Product of photosynthesis that plants use as building material or energy storage
glucose
State of respiration that produces 36 ATP
Aerobic respiration
increasing the size or number of cekks
growth
tiny organelle, important in making proteins. some float in cytoplans but some are attached to membranes
a cell uses energy to move substances from low concentration to high concentration
Active Transport
waste product of photosynthesis
plants do this both day and night
cellular respiration
