Unit #1: Intro to Bio
What is a PROTON?
Element that a compound must contain to be considered ORGANIC
What is CARBON?
Cell type that exists alone and does not have any membrane bound organelles
What is PROKARYOTIC?
Process that describes Water going from High to Low concentration
What is OSMOSIS?
Most important electron acceptor in cellular respiration
What is OXYGEN?
An atom with a net electrical charge due to a loss or gain of electrons...not in balance.
What is an ION?
The process of combing monomers to create a polymer by removing a water molecule
What is DEHYDRATION SYNTHESIS?
Organelle that contains pigments to harvest energy from sunlight
What is a CHLOROPLAST?
3 Types of transmembrane proteins that molecules may pass through
What are ungated, gated, and carrier?
Process of losing an electron is called _____ and is most likely facilitated by ______ enzyme.
Principle that states only 2 electrons can be in an orbital and they must have opposite spins...DISCO
What is the Pauli Exclusion Principle?
Monomer that all polysaccharides are made up of
What is GLUCOSE?
"Garbage collector" organelle that contains digestive enzymes and exists only in animal cells
What is a LYSOSOME?
Form of active transport in which a cell expels a large molecule as a vesicle bonds with the cell membrane
What is EXOCYTOSIS?
Reactant of photosynthesis that is directly used to form glucose
What is CO2?
Strongest bond type that has the ability to make long and complex molecules
What is COVALENT?
The unfolding of proteins due to a change in optimal environmental conditions (i.e. temperature, pH)
What is DENATURATION?
The 4 organelles that exist in ALL cells (prokaryotic and eukaryotic)?
- Think jelly, structure, proteins, barrier
What is
- CYTOPLASM
- CYTOSKELETON
- RIBOSOME
- CELL MEMBRANE?
Tonicity of a solution that would cause a red blood cell to shrink.
What is HYPERTONIC?
What are the E.T.C. and L.D.R.?
An elements affinity for electrons; an element's desire to be in electrical balance
What is electronegativity?
The amphipathic form of this polymer is crucial to its function as a barrier.
What are phospholipids?
They are all membrane bound organelles that exists in all EUKARYOTIC cells. (5)
What are
- Endoplasmic reticulum
- Golgi Apparatus
- Mitochondria
- Nucleus
- Nucleolus?
While an concentration balance is not seemingly maintained as molecules are separated to different side of a membrane, this maintains an ELECTROCHEMICAL BALANCE
What is a Ligand Gated Channel?
What is the SODIUM-POTASSIUM PUMP?
The equations for cellular respiration and photosynthesis and one word to describe their relationship to one another
What are
Cellular Respiration:
C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O + ~38 ATP
Photosynthesis:
6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy --> C6H12O6 + 6O2
and INTERDEPENDENT?
