Biomolecules
Biomolecule that is used primarily for quick energy
What are Carbohydrates?
What is the Water Cycle?
This process describes how particles move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration, spreading out evenly over time.
What is Diffusion?
It’s the body system that sends, receives, and processes information through electrical signals—acting as your built-in communication network from brain to fingertips.
What is the nervous system?
Term for a substance that “fears water,” refusing to mix with it—much like oil in a salad dressing.
What is Hydrophobic?
Biomolecule that primary composes the membrane by creating not just one but two layers
What are Lipids?
Term used to describe any location where quantities of something are held/stored
What is a reservoir?
Osmosis and Diffusion are examples this type of cell transport
What is passive transport?
It’s the body system that breaks down the food you eat into nutrients your cells can use, starting at the mouth and ending at the intestines.
What is the digestive system?
It describes a membrane that lets some substances slip by with ease while keeping others out, enabling cells to control what enters and exits.
What is semipermeable?
Biomolcule used for structural support and creates channels through the cell membrane
What are proteins?
Photosynthesis is major part of this Cycle
What is the Carbon Cycle?
This energy-requiring method of moving molecules across a membrane goes against the concentration gradient—like pushing substances uphill using ATP as the power source.
What is Active Transport?
It’s the system that trades carbon dioxide for oxygen, using lungs, airways, and tiny alveoli to keep every cell supplied with fresh air.
What is the respiratory system?
It’s the word for a substance that “loves water,” readily dissolving or mixing with it due to its attraction to H₂O molecules.
What is Hydrophilic?
Biomolucule that contains our Genetic code
What are Nucleic Acids
This element cycle replies on bacteria to make it usable for other living things
What is the Nitrogen Cycle?
Endocytosis and Exocytosis are both this type of active transport
What is Bulk Transport?
It’s the body system that uses the heart, blood, and vessels to deliver nutrients and oxygen throughout the body while carrying wastes away.
What is circulatory system?
Biomolecule that composes the majority of the cell membrane
What are Lipids?
Single Stranded Nucleic Acids
What is RNA?
This Cycle Lacks an atmospheric Reservoir
What is the Phosphorus Cycle?
This type of cell transport is used by the kidneys to maintain blood pH
What is Osmosis?
It’s the system that filters your blood, removes waste as urine, and helps maintain the body’s balance of water and salts using kidneys, ureters, a bladder, and a urethra.
What is the urinary system?
Energy molecule needed to open and close protein channels
What is ATP
