Cell Stuff
what is the powerhouse of the cell?
the mitochondria
duh
What is the clear fluid in chloroplasts?
stroma
What is endocytosis
cells use energy to engulf particles
What is cytology?
the study of cells
what is the control center of the cell?
nucleus... duh
What part of the cell contains proteins and RNA?
the nucleolus
What is the cell's post office?
Golgi Apparatus
what is the release if particles outside the membrane called?
exocytosis
what does anaerobic mean?
does not require oxygen
what is the cytoskeleton?
it is a system of fibers in cytosol that help the cell maintain shape
What is the difference between Rough ER and Smooth ER?
Rough ER- contains ribosomes throughout and processes proteins
Smooth ER- transports compounds, helps maintain cell shape, and processes fats
what kind of microorganisms have capsules?
Bacteria
which phase of photosynthesis is light independent?
Calvin Cycle
What kind of lipids are in the lipid bilayer
Phospholipids
what are the tiny openings on the underside of leaves called?
stomata
What are the cilia and flagella?
hair-like extensions of the cytoskeleton that propel the cell or bacterium through their enviroment
What four factors determine whether something can be passively transported across a membrane?
particle size, particle shape, particle polarity, and membrane composition
What is the citric acid cycle?
Phase two of cellular respiration
Pyruvate is eventually turned into oxoacetate
what does the central vacuole store?
water, salts, sugars, and proteins
What is the chemical formula for photosynthesis?
6H20+6CO2+Light Energy=C6H12O6+6O2
What is a lysosome?
a type of vacuole that contains enymes
what are the stacks of disk-shaped thylakoids inside chloroplasts called?
granum(s)
What are the two phases of metabolism and what happens in each phase?
Anabolism- makes molecules and stores energy
Catabolism- destroys molecules and releases energy
So I kinda ran out of stuff to add... so here's a random biology question that relates to the chapter.
What does NADPH stand for?
Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate
What does CRISPR stand for, and what does it do?
CRISPR stands for Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats
It is used to selectively edit the DNA of an organism
