What biomolecule serves as a fast source of energy?
carbohydrates
What are the single subunits that make up polymers?
monomers
Often used long-term energy storage, this macromolecule is high in energy content and is a key part of our cell.
Lipids
These types of molecules are able to diffuse across the membrane without any help.
Small, nonpolar molecules.
What is the basic unit of life?
Cells
What macromolecule is an enzyme?
Protein
What is the function of the golgi apparatus?
Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins to be shipped out in vesicles
How does ATP become ADP?
break off the 3rd phosphate group
Humans are made up of what type of cells?
Eukaryotic cells
The rough endoplasmic reticulum is the site where proteins are made. What is commonly made in the smooth endoplasmic reticulum?
Lipids
What organelle is the location of ATP synthesis?
Mitochondria
What is it called when heat or pH causes a enzyme to lose its shape and function?
Denaturing
What are the 3 principles of cell theory
all living organisms are composed of one or more cells, cells are the basic unit of structure and function in living organisms, and all cells arise from pre-existing cells through cell division.
What carbohydrate is responsible for cell rigidity and structural support in plant cells?
cellulose
This type of solution causes animal cells to burst, but plant cells to thrive.
Hypotonic.
These groups attached to amino acids give each protein monomer their own characteristics.
R-Groups
Function?
"Garbage man", breaks down waste using digestive enzymes.
Water has many special talents. One of which is its ability to travel up plants through these two mechanisms.
Cohesion and adhesion.
How are cellular respiration and photosynthesis related?
The reactants of cellular respiration are the products of photosynthesis
What type of cell is a chloroplast found in?
Eukaryote; plant cell
What is the monomer of carbohydrates?
Monosaccharides (single sugars)
Which characteristic do all plants, animals, protists, and fungi have in common?
They are eukaryotic (have a nucleus)
What is the Cellular Respiration equation?
C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O + 36/38 ATP
What is the chemical formula for photosynthesis?
6CO2 + 6H2O + Sunlight ---->
C6H12O6 + O2
This type of junction often holds ligaments in place.
Anchor Junction
