What biomolecule serves as a fast source of energy?
carbohydrates
What are organic molecules
Oxygen, Hydrogen, Carbon, Nitrogen
Which organisms have the most available energy in a food pyramid?
Producers
Nucleotides
A, T, G, C
What is the basic unit of life?
Cells
what is a macromolecule?
substance made of monomers
What is the function of the golgi body?
Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins to be shipped out in vesicles (looks like a WiFi signal)
ATP made up of this?
3-phosphate group
What are the building blocks of lipids
fatty acids
The process by which water moves through the cell membrane to balance out a high concentration of solutes.
osmosis
How much energy is passed on from one trophic level to the next?
10%
movement of ions, and molecules across cell membranes without the need for energy input
passive transport (diffusion, facilitated diffusion, osmosis)
Cell Theory is?
Atom->Cell-> Tissue-> Organ->Organ System
What carbohydrate is responsible for cell rigidity and structural support in plant cells?
cellulose
Are viruses living or nonliving? WHY?
Nonliving; they cannot reproduce on their own...needs a host. (Does have DNA & evolve over time)
Active sight
Function?
"Garbage man", breaks down waste using digestive enzymes.
Location of protein synthesis?
Ribosome
Which type of movement across a cell's membrane requires energy supplied by ATP?
Active transport
What type of cell is a chloroplast found in?
Bonus: what is its function
Eukaryote; plant cell
What is the monomer of starch and glycogen?
Monosaccharides (single sugars)
Which characteristic do all plants, animals have in common?
They are eukaryotic (have a nucleus)
What is the Cellular Respiration equation?
C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O + 36/38 ATP
(GO --> COW!)
List all 8 Characteristics of Life
maintains Homeostasis, Excretes waste, DNA, Grow/develop, Reproduce, Adapt/evolve, made of Cells, requires Energy
Name & describe the 3 solutions.
1. Isotonic: Water moves equally in & out
2. Hypertonic; solute sucks water out, cell shrinks
3. Hypotonic; solute sucks water in, cell swells
