The 4 components of the cell membrane
What are phospholipids, proteins, carbohydrate, & cholesterol?
Most efficient form of respiration, forming 34 ATP molecules from each glucose molecule
What is aerobic respiration?
Microbiologist who established that life does not spontaneously generate; verified that cells only come from pre-existing cells
Who is Louis Pasteur?
This organelle is more prevalent in metabolically active cells; it is the site of synthesis of hormones and enzymes which are packaged into vesicles.
What is the golgi apparatus?
6H2O + 6CO2 + light -----> C6H12O6 + 6O2
What is photosynthesis?
Two of four criteria for spontaneous generation of life.
(1)What is What is synthesis of organic molecules (ex.: sugars & amino acids);
(2)assembly of these molecules into polymers;
(3)origin of self-replicating molecules (nucleic acids); (4) packaging of molecules into membrane sacs
Limiting factors that effect the rate of photosynthesis. (3)
What are Temperature, light intensity , and carbon dioxide concentration ?
Evidence for the endosymbiosis theory.
What is:
(1) mitochondria and chloroplasts contain a circular molecule of DNA, together with small(70S) ribosomes like a bacterial cell
(2) mitochondria & chloroplasts reproduce by binary fission like prokaryotes
(3)both transcribe mRNA from their DNA, and synthesize specific proteins in their ribosomes like prokaryotes do.
This organelle is the site of protein synthesis and transport.
What is rough endoplasmic reticulum?
3 products of cellular respiration.
What are ATP energy, CO2, and H2O?
Three differences between Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic cells
What are
(1) Nucleus- Euk no true nucleus - Prok
(2) Euk-can be unicellular or multicellular Prok - only unicellular-bacteria cells
(3) Euk- contains membrane-bound organelles, Prok do not
(4) Euk-80S ribosomes; Prok-70S ribosomes
Amphipathic properties of phospholipid molecules.
What is having both hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties?
Visible light wavelengths most absorbed by chlorophyll for photosynthesis.
What are blue 450nm and red 650nm?
