Unit1
The smallest unit of matter that can carry out all the processes of life?
What is Cell
Often called “the powerhouse of the cell”, this organelle makes ATP
What is the mitochondria?
This many molecules of ATP are made in cellular respiration
What is 36-38 molecules?
A solution with a pH of 3 has this classification.
What is an acid?
Commonly found in plant cells, this organelle processes energy from the sun.
What is a chloroplast?
Bonds between water molecules that leads to water’s many emergent properties?
What is Hydrogen Bonds
Which part of the cell allows the cell to discriminate in its chemical exchanges with its environment?
Plasma Membrane
Some enzymes require a coenzyme to function properly. The coenzyme bonds to this site.
what is the allosteric site?
Prokaryotic cells do not have this place to store DNA.
What is the nucleus?
Often confused with the cell membrane, this part of the cell is only found in plants.
What is the cell wall?
A reaction that synthesizes polymers
What is Dehydration Reaction?
With a polar and nonpolar end, these molecules make up the majority of the cell membrane.
What is a phospholipid?
These are the products of photosynthesis.
Respiration with oxygen is called____ while respiration without oxygen is called_____.
Aerobic, Anaerobic
This occurs when water diffuses into the cell.
What is osmosis.
These are atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons. Some can be radioactive.
What is Isotopes.
Although animal cells lack cell walls, they have a complex network of glycoproteins that provide structure and strength to the cell, referred to as:
extracellular matrix
Cellular Respiration has three steps: Glycolysis, electron transport chain, and the Krebs cycle. Place these 3 in order.
Glycolysis -> Krebs Cycle -> Electron Transport Chain
The most common model used when talking about the cell membrane because of its ability to move.
What is a fluid mosaic model?
These organelles are often considered the “garbage disposal” of the cell and remove the waste
What is a lysosome?
Ice floats in liquid water because_____.
What is hydrogen bonding causes ice to be less dense than water.
Which enzymes are responsible for the detoxification of organic compounds carried out by the smooth
Oxygenases
explanation: Oxygen-transferring enzymes – oxygenases (including cytochrome P450) carry out the detoxification of organic compounds and are synthesized in the smooth endoplasmic reticulum.
This step of cellular respiration yields the most ATP.
What is the third step, the electron transport chain?
This organism does alcoholic fermentation.
What is Yeast.
This organelle is only found in the animal cell. It is made up of microtubules.
What is centrioles.
