Cells
The power house of the cell.
What is the mitochondria?
Large molecules that are critically important to all living things.
What are macromolecules?
The ultimate source of energy on Earth.
What is the sun?
The two types of cellular transport.
What are active and passive?
The organelle where cellular respiration occurs.
What is the mitochondria?
Discovered the cell.
Who is Robert Hooke?
A strand of many monomers.
What is a polymer?
CO2 and O2.
What are the reactants of photosynthesis?
Characteristic of a cell membrane that only allows certain substances into or out of the cell.
What is semi-permeable or selectively permeable?
2 ATP.
What is the net number of ATP gained in glycolysis or the Kreb's Cycle.
The three scientists that contributed to the cell theory.
Who are Schleiden, Schwann and Virchow?
Made of C,H and O. Used for short term energy.
What is a carbohydrate?
Where the light dependent reactions take place.
What is the thylakoid membrane?
Type of passive transport where particles move from high to low concentration.
What is diffusion?
Occurs when not enough oxygen is present for respiration.
What is fermentation?
All living things are made of cells, Cells come from pre-existing cells and cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things.
What are the three parts to the cell theory?
Made of C,H, and O. Used to store energy long term.
What is a lipid?
The sugar made during photosynthesis.
What is glucose?
The movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
What is osmosis?
The byproducts of cellular respiration.
What are CO2 and H2O?
Contains few organelles and lacks a true nucleus. (Bacteria)
What is a prokaryote?
Made of C,H,O and N. Has many functions including muscle contraction, aiding in cell transport and functioning as enzymes.
What is protein?
The byproduct of photosynthesis.
What is O2?
A higher concentration of solutes in a solution that causes a cell to shrivel.
What is a hypertonic solution?
Where the Kreb's Cycle takes place in the mitochondria.
What is the matrix?
