what is glucose?
what acid makes you cramp?
lactic acid
what does the mitochondria do?
it is the powerhouse?
These are the products of photosynthesis.
What are Oxygen and glucose?
The macro molecules of biology.
atp
what is Adenosine Triphosphate.
what is anaerobic?
doesn't requires oxygen
what is active transport?
the movement of ions or molecules across a cell membrane into a region of higher concentration, assisted by enzymes and requiring energy.
What is photosynthesis?
the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis in plants generally involves the green pigment chlorophyll and generates oxygen as a byproduct.
what is cellular respiration?
Cellular respiration is a set of metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate, and then release waste products.
what is the process of splitting glucose?
Glycolysis
The type of sexual reproduction by most eukaryotes.
What is meiosis?
what is in all cells?
cytoplasm
what is endocytosis?
the taking in of matter by a living cell by invagination of its membrane to form a vacuole.
what is cell transport?
Cell transport is movement of materials across cellmembranes. Cell transport includes passive and active transport.
What is chlorophyll?
a green pigment, present in all green plants and in cyanobacteria, responsible for the absorption of light to provide energy for photosynthesis. Its molecule contains a magnesium atom held in a porphyrin ring.
what does aerobic mean?
Requires oxegyn
what is a potassium pump?
Na⁺ /K⁺ -ATPase is an enzyme found in the plasma membrane of all animal cells. It performs several functions in cell physiology.
what is exocytosis?
a process by which the contents of a cell vacuole are released to the exterior through fusion of the vacuole membrane with the cell membrane.
what is a nucleus?
the central and most important part of an object, movement, or group, forming the basis for its activity and growth.
The tissue that connects muscle to bone.
What are tendons?
what is passive transport?
Passive transport is a movement of ions and other atomic or molecular substances across cell membranes without need of energy input
what is the plasma membrane?
a microscopic membrane of lipids and proteins that forms the external boundary of the cytoplasm of a cell or encloses a vacuole, and that regulates the passage of molecules in and out of the cytoplasm.
One of three types of muscles in the human body.
What are smooth, cardiac and skeletal?
what is the nucleolus
a small dense spherical structure in the nucleus of a cell during interphase.
