ORGANELLES
This is the most abundant organelle, synthesizing proteins in prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
What is ribosome?
This is the sum of all chemical reactions in the body
What is metabolism?
This is movement of water, across a semi-permeable membrane, from high to low concentration
This is the movement from a higher concentration gradient to a lower concentration gradient
What is diffusion?
This is the chemical form of sugar that your body uses for energy
What is glucose?
The DNA stays inside this membrane-bound organelle, if the cell has one
What is nucleus?
This reaction releases energy stored in sugar molecules for use in cells
What is cellular respiration?
The movement of a substance from a lower concentration gradient to a higher concentration gradient requires
What is energy?
This is the word we use when the amount of solute inside the cell matches the concentration of solute outside the cell
What is isotonic?
This is the molecule that undergoes Hydrolysis to release energy for use by the cells
What is ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate)?
This was most likely a separate cell, which explains why it has its own DNA
What is mitochondrion
The place on an enzyme that binds to a substrate
What is an active site?
This is the reason why sodium and potassium can't diffuse through the membrane
What is polarity (electrical charge)?
This state of tonicity is characterized by cells bursting
What is hypertonic?
This is the name of a molecule that lowers the activation energy of a reaction
What is a catalyst?
This is where photosynthesis happens. (Mostly) Only plants have it!
What is chloroplast?
Its active site binds to and stabilizes the transition state, lowering the activation energy of the reaction
What is an enzyme?
The hydrophobic side of the plasma membrane contains this structure and faces the inside of the membrane
What is a fatty acid tail?
This is the surface area - to - volume ratio when the radius is 3 mm
What is 1 (per mm)?
These are the products of a reduction - oxidation (redox) reaction
What are water and salt?
This is responsible for getting rid of a specific metabolic waste product, H2O2
What is peroxisome?
This is the process by which the body breaks down Adenosine Triphosphate and releases energy and water
What is ATP Hydrolysis?
This hydrophilic structure of the bilayer faces the cytoplasm and the outside of the cell
What is a phosphate head?
This is the name of the structure that allows bulk transfer of water from high to low concentration
What is aquaporin?
This is the science of energy movement
What is thermodynamics?
