Module 9
a cell that has no nucleus or other distinct, membrane-bound organelles
prokaryotic cell
responsible for the absorption of nutrients in fungi
mycelium
building blocks of proteins
amino acids
study of interactions between living and nonliving things & the association of living organisms and their physical environment
ecology & ecosystem
does fermentation require air? What are the two types?
ANAEROBIC - no air; lactic acid & alcoholic fermentation
organism that feeds on dead matter
saprophyte
tiny floating organisms that are either small animals or protozoans; considered animal-like
zooplankton
special class of proteins used as catalysts
enzymes
species that is not native to an environment that is harmful to the environment
invasive species
designed to release the right amount of energy quickly at the right time - what represents it in currency analogy - how is it written in shorter form?
ATP - Adenosine Triphosphate, $1 & $5 bills, ATP
cell that has a membrane-bound nucleus and membrane-bound organelles
eukaryotic cell
temporary, foot-like extension of a cell, used for locomotion (movement) or engulfing food
pseudopod (false foot)
bonds that involve the giving and taking of electrons
ionic
a group of ecosystems classified by climate and plant life. What are the 2 main divisions??
Biomes
aquatic & terrestrial
Name the stages of photosynthesis - where do they take place?
Light Reactions (ETC) - thylakoid; Calvin Cycle/Light Independent Reactions - stroma
true or false - this is correct usage of binomial nomenclature for the turkey; Meleagris Gallopavo
FALSE - correct usage would be
italics, Genus (capitalized) species (lowercase)
Meleagris gallopavo
how can you control the spread of malaria?
plasmodium is carried by mosquitoes, therefore control the mosquito population, control the spread of the disease
an attractive force that holds molecules of different substances together
adhesion
process by which certain gasses (mainly water vapor, carbon dioxide, and methane) trap heat that otherwise escape Earth and radiate into space
Greenhouse effect
designed for storing and transporting large quantities of energy to cells, how is it represented in currency analogy? how is it written in shorter form?
Glucose - $100 bill - C6H12O6
asexual reproduction in bacteria
binary fission
three categories of protists
decomposers, protozoans, algae
a solution has a pH of 2.3 is it acidic or basic? Is it more acidic/basic than a solution with a pH of 5.6?
ACIDIC - acids have pH < 7
2.3 is more acidic than 5.6 pH
5 "cycles" we discussed in class
water, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon, and phosphorous cycle
4 stages of cellular respiration & how many total ATP are produced
Glycolysis (2 net ATP), Link Reaction, Krebs Cycle (2 ATP), Electron Transport (34 ATP)
