Organic Compounds
Element found in organic compounds
Carbon
Characteristics that allows the cell membrane to regulate what enters and leaves the cell
Selective permeability
Movement of molecules from a high to low concentration without the use of energy (be specific)
(Simple) Diffusion
Levels of organization from smallest to largest (8)
atom, molecule, organelle, cell, tissue, organ, organ system, organism
Respiration that requires oxygen and produces a lot of ATP
Aerobic (respiration)
Four groups of organic compounds
Carbohydrates, Lipids, Proteins, Nucleic acids
Primary molecule found in the cell membrane
Phosopholipids
Uses membrane proteins to transport substances from a high to low concentration without using energy.
Facilitated diffusion
Movement of the body or substances within the body
muscular system
Responsible for transporting oxygen around the body
Red blood cells (RBCs)
Six most common elements found in living things
Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur
Two layers of the cell membrane
Lipid bilayer
Uses membrane proteins to transport water from a high to low concentration without using energy
Connects muscle to bone
tendon
What is hemoglobin?
Protein found in RBCs, contains Fe, and required to transport oxygen
Monomer of Carbohydrates
Monosaccharides
Group of organic molecules found in the cell membrane that can bind with substances outside the cell, increase the rate of chemical reactions or transports substances into/out of the cell
(membrane) proteins
Active transport
Cushions joints
Cartilage
Structures of the respiratory system (in order)
nose/mouth, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli
Monomer of Lipids
Fatty acids (glycerol)
Enzymes
Type of organic compound that stores hereditary information (be specific)
DNA
Main energy carrying molecule inside cells
ATP
Within the respiratory system, name the two structures involved in gas exchange
capillaries and alveoli
