Cell Transport
The movement of solutes down a concentration gradient through a semipermeable membrane is this kind of diffusion.
Simple Diffusion
If you look at the periods of a periodic table, they can tell you this piece of information.
# of electron shells
This word for the reaction that breaks polymers into monomers has a root word meaning "to cut".
Hydrolysis
This type of reaction brings amino acids together to form a polypeptide.
Prokaryotes have how many organelles?
Zero!
This type of transport uses vesicles to bring large molecules into the cell
Endocytosis
This specific type of bond can be seen between the nitrogenous bases of DNA.
Hydrogen bond
Amino groups (-NH3), Carboxyl groups (-COOH), and sulfates (-SO4) are examples of these that can bond with Carbon
Functional Groups
This polymer uses uracil and thymine.
RNA
These two organelles are considered to be the semiautonomous organelles.
Mithochondria & Chloroplast
You put a cell with a concentration of 5% NaCl into a beaker with a 25% NaCl solution. Is the solution in the beaker isotonic, hypotonic, or hypertonic to the cell? Which direction will water move?
Hypertonic, water moves out of the cell
The pH scale is based on the number of this type of ion in a solution.
Hydrogen ions (the more Hydrogen ions, the more acidic)
A protein has this structure when it is at its final folding level for a single polypeptide chain.
These are the three parts of a nucleotide
Phosphate group, Pentose, Single/Double ring nitrogenous base
Which organelle contains hydrolases to help with hydrolysis of macromolecules?
Lysosomes
One of the three factors that affect cell membrane fluidity
Detergents help break up dirt particles by forming micelles around them. What is the name of this property that allows a micelle (or phospholipid bilayer) to form?
Amphipathic (hydrophilic head, hydrophobic tail)
The sum of all of the chemical reactions in an organism
Metabolism
Olive oil is this type of fat as it has double bonds that give it a "kinked" appearance, molecularly speaking.
Unsaturated fatty acid
This is the name of the carbohydrate covering found in bacteria
Glycocalyx
True or False. Concentration gradients can be electrical, chemical, or electrochemical.
True
12
There are so many different cell types because they have different these
Proteomes
Chitin is a long-chain polymer of N-acteylglucosamine, a derivative of glucose - which macromolecule would you categorize it as.
Carbohydrate
We need calcium to run our motor proteins and have muscular contractions. Which organelle is responsible for calcium balance?
Smooth ER
