Mod 1
All types of cells contain a plasma membrane, a cytosol, DNA and this.
What are ribosomes
This form of matter is described as being composed of two or more elements held together in a set ratio
What is a compound?
This is the chemical formula for glucose
What is C6H12O6
Type of cells that lack a nucleus
What are prokaryotes?
When cells and the solution surrounding them contain equal amounts of solute
What is isotonic?
In the organization of the life, this category represents all the different populations present in an area and their interactions with each other
What is a Community?
This type of bond typically forms between metals and nonmetals
What is an ionic bond
This is the chemical process used to chemically combine fructose and glucose into sucrose.
What is dehydration synthesis (or condensation)?
Rough endoplasmic reticulum has what attached to it?
What are ribosomes?
This type of endocytosis allows one cell to engulf another cell by capturing it within a vesicle formed from the plasma membrane.
What is phagocytosis?
This is the most important form of cellular energy used by cells to do cell work.
What is ATP
This type of bond is responsible for the cohesiveness of water molecules, as well as most of water's other physical properties.
What is a hydrogen bond?
These are the two most common polysaccharides for in plant cells
What are cellulose and starch
Organelle that uses oxygen and produces carbon dioxide
What is mitochondria?
This process uses energy to move particles across a membrane from an area of low particle concentration to an area of high concentration.
What is active transport?
In the 7 steps of the scientific method, this step occurs after a person forms a hypothesis.
What is a prediction
This type of covalent bond is described as an "unequal sharing of a pair of electrons" between 2 atoms.
What is a polar covalent bond
These are the building blocks of nucleic acids
What are nucleotides?
Organelle that is contains digestive enzymes and is sometimes called the "cell recycling center"
What is the lysosome?
This process allows water to passively move across a "semi permeable" membrane from an area of low solute concentration to high solute concentration.
What is osmosis?
This type of tissue can be found lining all 4 chamber of your heart.
What is epithelial tissue
This is the term used for the electrons present in the outermost energy level of an atom of an element
What are the valence electrons?
This word is used to describe what happens to a protein that is exposed to a temperature or pH outside of its range of tolerance?
What is denature (or denaturation)?
This large membranous organelle is not found in animal cells and generally occupies the central region of a plant cell.
What is the central vacuole?
Phospholipids are known as this "type of lipid" because they contain BOTH a polar and a nonpolar region
What is an "amphipathic" lipid?
