Basic Chem
What are the three major particles that make up an atom?
Protons, neutrons, and electrons
These types of cells are smaller and generally lack nuclei
What are prokaryotic cells
What is the nucleus
This major category of cellular molecule comprises the cell membrane
What are lipids, specifically phospholipids
DNA and RNA fall under this major category of cellular molecule
What is nucleic acids
What is the difference between a covalent bond and an ionic bond?
Covalent bonds share electrons, in an ionic bond one is given away - creating ions that form an attraction.
These prokaryotic components are used for propulsion
What are flagella
This component is responsible for making proteins
What is the ribosomes
This refers to the state of the cell membrane - which makes it easier for things to pass
What is fluid
These molecules are almost entirely comprised of Cs and Hs
What are lipids
Molecules that bond to water molecules
What is charged molecules
This component is made up of phospholipids
What is the cell membrane
These components of the cellular membrane facilitate essential tasks like diffusion and transportation
What are proteins
Oils contain fatty acids in this formation
Polyunsaturated
We would expect the solid state of these molecules to float on their liquid state
What is water molecules
What is the nucleoid
This component is responsible for breaking down fatty acids
What are peroxisomes
This refers to the state of higher solute concentration in one area
Hypertonic
Plant wall structures are comprised of this form of carbohydrate
What is cellulose
This type of substance can bind to and release H+ ions
What is a buffer
These cells are thought to be some of the first on Earth, and adapted to extreme conditions
Archea
This component can be found in some Eukaryotic cells, and may be very large - often containing water or waste
What are vacuoles
This type of pump is often responsible for secondary active transport
What is Na/K pumps
These forms of carbohydrates contain bonds that can be metabolized by humans
What are starch and glycogen
