Chapter 1: Characteristics of Life
Maintenance of internal conditions within certain boundaries.
What is homeostasis?
What is potential energy?
Chains of carbon atoms.
What are hydrocarbons?
Steps of cellular respiration.
What is glycolysis, prep reaction, citric acid cycle and electron transport chain?
Has identical daughter cells.
All chemical reactions occurring in the cell.
What is metabolism?
Atoms of the same element that differ in the number of neutrons.
What are isotopes?
What are eukaryotic cells?
Applying heat or changing the pH level.
What is denaturation?
Has four unique daughter cells.
What is meiosis?
Smallest, most basic unit of life.
What is a cell?
States "energy cannot be created or destroyed."
What is the First Law of Thermodynamics?
Four categories of organic molecules.
What are carbs, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids?
Series of chemical reactions catalyzed by enzymes that lead to the use or production of energy and modified matter.
What is metabolic pathway?
These occur when homologous chromosomes do not separate during cell division.
What are nondisjunctions?
Modifications that make organisms suited to their way of life.
What are adaptations?
Two atoms share electrons to achieve a strong bond.
What is a covalent bond?
Movement of water across a membrane, therefore the diffusion of water.
What is osmosis?
Solution having a lower solute concentrate than the cytoplasm, causes cells to gain water.
What is hypotonic solution?
Two pieces of genetic information for each trait.
What are alleles?
The six characteristics of life.
What is organization, acquired materials and energy, homeostasis, response to stimuli, reproduce and develop and adaption to changes?
The substance present in smaller amounts. Component that dissolves.
Cells require energy to move molecules across membranes.
What is active transport?
What is Glyceraldehyde-3-Phosphate (G3P)?
Some alleles mask other alleles.
What is law of dominance?
