Chemical Compounds
The basic building block of everything.
What is an ATOM?
The organelle that controls what enters and exits the cell.
What is the cell membrane?
Part of the plant that takes in carbon dioxide and sunlight.
What are leaves?
Where animals/humans get their energy from.
What are 2 of the reasons cells need to divide?
Growth
Heal wounds
Replace damaged/dead cells
The substances that are created during a chemical reaction.
What are products?
2 or more elements that are combined together.
What is a COMPOUND?
The movement of molecules from a high concentration to a low concentration.
What is diffusion?
Where photosynthesis takes place.
What are chloroplasts?
Where cell respiration takes place.
What is the mitochondria?
The 2 new cells created during mitosis.
Daughter cells
The substances present at the beginning of a chemical reaction.
What are reactants?
What is the name for the compounds that make up proteins?
Amino Acids
The diffusion of water.
What is osmosis?
The opening on the underside of leaves where carbon dioxide enters and oxygen exits.
What is the stomata?
It is what gives us energy from food to live.
The phase when chromosomes split up and move to opposite sides of the cell.
What is anaphase?
Matter cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.
What is the Law of Conservation of Mass?
Two forms of carbohydrates.
Sugars & Starches
The movement of molecules that requires the cell to use energy.
What is active transport?
Why is photosynthesis important?
It produces food for plants and oxygen for humans and animals.
The process that occurs when oxygen is not available for cell respiration.
What is fermentation?
Chromatin - Long and stringy
Chromosomes - Condensed, shaped like an X
The two main things that occur to compounds or atoms in a chemical reaction?
What is, they combine or break apart?
What are the 4 chemical compounds that are found in cells?
Carbohydrates
Proteins
Lipids
Nucleic Acids
The similarity and difference between osmosis/diffusion and active transport.
Similarity - They all help to move molecules into or out of a cell.
Difference - Diffusion and osmosis do not require energy, while active transport does.
The reactants and products of photosynthesis.
What are sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water?
What are glucose & oxygen?
The reactants and products of cellular respiration.
Reactants - Glucose and Oxygen
Products - Carbon Dioxide, Water, and ATP
The correct order of phases in Mitosis.
Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, Cytokinesis.
The five types of chemical reactions.
What are synthesis, decomposition, single replacement, double replacement, and combustion?
