Synthesis

Neutrons TERM 2

Neutrons

DEFINITION 2 electrically neutral found within the nucleus TERM 3

Electrons

DEFINITION 3 negative charge buzz around the nucleus (electrons and neutrons) TERM 4

synthesis

DEFINITION 4 atoms or molecules combine, energy is released in bond formation (A+B->AB) TERM 5

decomposition

DEFINITION 5 molecule is broken down energy is required (AB-> A+B)

organic molecules

something synthesized by cells, living organisms contain carbon and hydrogen example: Glucose TERM 7

inorganic molecules

DEFINITION 7 lack carbon and tend to be simpler compounds Example: Water (H2o) TERM 8

Vital properties of water and their relevance

to life

DEFINITION 8 High heat capacity solvent properties many chemical reactions occur in water ice floats TERM 9

Why are salts important to living organisms?

DEFINITION 9 Have electrolytes which conduct electrical currents TERM 10

Acid, base, neutral

DEFINITION 10 0 to 6 Acidic 7 Neutral 8 to 14 Base's

Plant Cells vs. Animal Cells

Plant cells have cell walls that protects and maintains its shape Animal cells have an extracellular matrix which holds cells together in tissues and protects and supports them and prevents absorption of too much water Not in animal cells : central vacuole cell wall chlorplasts TERM 17

Fluid Mosaic

DEFINITION 17 The diversity of proteins that float like bugs in the phospholipids sea TERM 18

Two Secreted

Coats

DEFINITION 18 animals secrete extracellular matrix this layer holds them together in tissues and it also have protective and supportive function plants : all cell walls protect the cells, maintain their shape and keep them from absorbing too much water :made from cellulose fiber TERM 19

what is contained within the cell nucleus?

DEFINITION 19 Chromatin, long DNA molecules associated proteins from long fibers, each contains one chromosome ; Nucleolus- produces ribosomes TERM 20

Ribosomes

DEFINITION 20 responsible for protein synthesis produced in the nucleolus found in cytosol/cytoplasm of both

DEFINITION 22 Have electrolytes which conduct electrical currents TERM 23

Acid, base, neutral

DEFINITION 23 0 to 6 Acidic 7 Neutral 8 to 14 Base's TERM 24

Carbohydrates

DEFINITION 24 a biological molecule consisting of simple single monomer sugars, two monomer sugars, and other multi-unit sugars TERM 25

Lipids

DEFINITION 25 fats-waxes, phospholipids and steroids, consisting mainly of carbon and hydrogen atoms linked by non polar covalent bonds and therefore mostly hydrophobic and insoluble in water

Two Secreted

Coats

animals secrete extracellular matrix this layer holds them together in tissues and it also have protective and supportive function plants : all cell walls protect the cells, maintain their shape and keep them from absorbing too much water :made from cellulose fiber TERM 32

what is contained within the cell nucleus?

DEFINITION 32 Chromatin, long DNA molecules associated proteins from long fibers, each contains one chromosome ; Nucleolus- produces ribosomes TERM 33

Ribosomes

DEFINITION 33 responsible for protein synthesis produced in the nucleolus found in cytosol/cytoplasm of both TERM 34

rough ER

DEFINITION 34 ribosomes stud the outside of the membrane producing two main types of proten membrane proteins and secretory proteins the cell will actually export to the field outside the wall TERM 35

smooth ER

DEFINITION 35 synthesis of lipids (steroids) detoxifies your liver and your body from harmful substances your body will become use to the toxin and then you will need to take more and more enzymes are built into the membrane of the smooth ER

Golgi Apparatus

Shipping center- a receiving dock for the transportation vesicles moving products made in the ER- then it adapts the products and "ships" them off to other organelles TERM 37

lysosomes

DEFINITION 37 "breakdown body" a membrane enclosed sac of digestive enzymes these enzymes can break down practically anything have a separate area to do this so they don't endanger themselves TERM 38

Chloroplasts

DEFINITION 38 unique to the photosynthetic cells of plants and protists, are the organelles that perform photosynthesis three major compartments: mitochondria, cellular respiration, and process harnesses energy from sugars and other food molecules and converts it to another form of chemical energy called ATP TERM 39

Cytoskeleton

DEFINITION 39 a network of fibers extending throughout the cytoplasm- serves as both skeleton and "muscles" for the cell, functioning in both support and movement TERM 40

Flagella

DEFINITION 40 propel the cell by whip like motion- Eukaryote like sperm

Automobiles vs. Humans

Cars: Use fuel rich in chemical energy like food, which combines with oxygen which leads to combusting where heat is let off and kinetic energy of movement is produced waste products= Carbon dioxide and water, just like humans Humans: food and oxygen, heat, energy for cellular work, waste: carbon dioxide and water
