Water
The type of bond forms between water molecules and is responsible for many of water's unique properties.
WHat is a hydrogen bond?
This simple sugar is the main energy source for most cells.
What is glucose?
This organelle packages and ships proteins and lipids.
What is the golgi apparatus?
This model describes the cell membrane as flexible and made of many parts.
What is the fluid mosaic model?
The place where the substrate binds on an enzyme.
What is the active site?
This force at the surface of water allows some insects to walk on it.
What is surface tension?
This process breaks polymers apart by adding water.
What is hydrolysis?
These tiny structures break down waste and old cell parts using enzymes.
What are lysosomes?
Proteins in the membrane help move materials across using this kind of transport.
What is facilitated diffusion?
The model that explains how enzymes slightly change shape to fit the substrate.
What is the induced-fit model?
Ice floats because water becomes this when hydrogen bonds force molecules into a crystalline structure.
What is less dense?
These lipids make up the cell membrane bilayer.
What are phospholipids?
This network of membranes is responsible for detoxification and lipid synthesis
What is the smooth ER?
Large particles enter a cell using this active transport.
What is endocytosis?
Enzymes lower this requirement for reactions to start.
What is activation energy?
Plants rely on these two properties of water to pull water upward through xylem during transpiration.
What are cohesion and adhesion?
This part of the amino acid differs between amino acids and determines its properties.
What is the R-group?
This organelle has a double membrane and its own DNA, supporting Endosymbiotic theory.
What is mitochondria/chloroplast?
The sodium potassium pump moves ions against their gradient using this type of transport.
What is active transport?
The specific term for enzymes whose hydrogen bonds or ionic bonds are broken.
What is denaturing?
This term describes the amount of energy needed to raise water's temperature, explaining why coastal climates stay moderate.
What is high specific heat?
The type of bond that forms between the carboxyl group of one amino acid and the amino group of another.
What is a peptide bond?
These structures form the spindle fibers that separate chromosomes during mitosis in animal cells.
What are centrioles?
These particles cannot cross the membrane freely because the hydrophobic interior does not allow passage of these particles.
What are ions/large molecules?
Increasing temperature increases reaction rate only up to this point.
What is optimal temperature?
