Intro to Biology
These are two properties of life
Order, Sensitivity, Reproduction, Growth, Regulation, Energy Processing
The pH scale ranges from __ to __
What is 1 to 14
These are the four macromolecules
Proteins, Lipids, Carbohydrates, Nucleic acids
This is the powerhouse of the cell
Mitochondria
An atom is made up of these three subatomic particles
Proton, Neutron, Electron
A population is one species; a community is a group of different species
These are the 4 important atoms/elements
Carbon, Nitrogen, Hydrogen, Oxygen
Glycerol and Fatty acids are the building blocks for this macromolecule
Lipids
This is the gel-like substance in eukaryotic cells that holds structure and organelles
Cytoplasm
This is the key organelle in plants for regulating water
Central Vacuole
Instead of a nucleus, prokaryotic cells have this
Nucleioid
Isotope
These are the building blocks of proteins
Amino acids
These are membrane-bound sacs that assist in functiona and transport
Vesicles
This is the primary energy molecule in all living cells
ATP
These are the 5 levels of organization of Life starting from an Organism
Organism, Population, Community, Ecosystem, Biosphere
These are proteins that speed up reactions by reducing the activation energy threshold
These are the four levels of protein structure
Primary, secondary, tertiary, quaternary
These specialized peroxisomes in plants are responsible for converting stored fats into sugars
This is the area where an enzyme meets a substrate
Active Site
These are the 8 levels of organization of matter from an Atom... to an Organism
Atom, Molecule, Organelle, Cell, Tissue, Organ, Organ System, Organism
This is the measure of the chaos and dispersal of energy and matter
Entropy
This is the most abundant natural biopolymer
These join two adjacent cells together and maintain the cells in a sheet-like formation in organs and tissues that stretch
Desmosomes
This pathway breaks up large molecules into smaller pieces, releasing energy
Catabolic pathway
