Cells
A cell that lacks a membrane bound nucleus
What is a prokaryote?
The ability to maintain a stable internal environment.
What is homeostasis?
The base unit of a polymer.
What is a monomer?
Transport that does not require energy.
What is passive transport?
Primary organelle that capture sunlight for photosynthesis.
What are chlorophyll?
The organelle responsible for cellular respiration
What is the mitochondria?
When something scares a cat and it runs away.
What is response to stimulus?
Composed of Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen in a 1:2:1 ratio.
What are carbohydrates?
Molecule that provides the energy for active transport.
What is ATP?
The waste product of photosynthesis that is required for all animals.
What is oxygen?
The organelle where photosynthesis takes place
What is the chloroplast?
The ability to produce offspring.
What is reproduction?
Macromolecules that provide long term storage of energy, waterproofing and insulation.
What are lipids?
The movement of water molecules down the concentration gradient from high to low concentration.
What is osmosis?
The products of Photosynthesis
What is oxygen and glucose?
The selectively permeable layer around a cell that controls what enters and leaves the cell.
What is the cell membrane?
When an animal eats food to gain energy.
What is metabolism?
Made of amino acids, provide structure and support.
What are proteins?
A type of active transport that eliminates things from the cell.
What is exocytosis?
Opening in the leaf of a plant that allows the exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen.
What are stomata?
Prokaryotes and plant cells both have this surrounding them, it provides protection and support.
What is the cell wall?
Xylem and Phloem are considered what type of tissue?
What is Vascular?
Has monosaccharides (like glucose) as the monomer.
What are carbohydrates?
A type of active transport that pumps sodium out of the cell and potassium into the cell, requires ATP.
What is the sodium potassium pump?
Three factors that affect photosynthesis.
What are light, temperature and carbon dioxide?
