Movement of Molecules
100
Changes in temperature, light, sound, chemical composition of surroundings, humidity or moisture levels, touch or contact.
What are stimuli?
100
These make up everything.
What are atoms?
100
The powerhouse of the cell.
What is the mitochondria?
100
The main source of energy for cells.
What is ATP (Adenosine triphosphate)?
100
The movement of a molecule down a gradient to reach equilibrium
What is diffusion?
200
Cells with specialized compartments called organelles and have a nucleus storing DNA.
What are Eukaryotic cells?
200
These molecules love water and are hydrophilic.
What are polar molecules?
200
The shape of a plant cell.
What is a rectangle?
200
The form of energy stored in ATP
What is chemical energy?
200
The movement of water from low solute concentration to high solute concentration through a membrane.
What is Osmosis?
300
The process in which characteristics that help organisms live and reproduce are passed to offspring.
What is natural selection?
300
This reaction occurs when a monomer breaks off from a polymer.
What is hydrolysis?
300
In the plant cell to hold water and maintain the cell's proper pressure.
What is the large central vacuole?
300
Theses are three parts of ATP.
What are Adenine, ribose, and triphosphate?
300
This process moves a molecule across a membrane up its concentration gradients while this process uses a protein to move a molecule across a membrane down its concentration gradient.
What is the difference between active transport and facilitated diffusion?
400
The term used to describe all living things in earth and is the largest of all organization of life.
What is a biosphere?
400
These are comprised of a phosphate group, sugar molecule, and a nitrogenous base.
What are nucleotides?
400
These are rod shaped organelles specific to animal cells that are important in carrying genetic information for cell division.
What are Centrioles?
400
This is where plants get their carbon from to build their own carbon molecule in their cells.
What is inorganic carbon dioxide?
400
This is when a cell brings water and "drinks."
What is pinocytosis?
500
Large molecules made up of small molecules and atoms.
What are macromolecules?
500
The blue group.
What is a hydroxyl (or alcohol) group?
500
These allow cells to "talk" to each other.
What are signaling proteins?
500
These organisms put ATP together using light and need to consume organic carbon molecules.
What are Photoheterotrophs?
500
This is where the sodium comes from to facilitate the glucose-sodium Symport.
What is the sodium-potassium pump?
