1st Chapter Test Flashcards
Mitochondria
- plant and animal cell
- cell respiration
How is a theory different from a hypothesis
- A scientific theory is much broader in scope than a hypothesis
- usually general enough to generate many new specific hypotheses, which can be tested
- supported by a large and usually growing body of evidence
Chloroplast
- plants only
- photosynthesis
Diffusion
- O2, CO2, and lipid solution
Lipid solvable molecules can
Make it through easily
Glucose, sodium ions, and hydrogen ions
Cannot pass through without help
Hypotonic
The solute concentration is lower outside the cell, water molecules move into the cell and the cell will expand and may burst
Hypertonic
The solute concentration is higher outside the cell, water molecules move out of the cell, and the cell will shrink
Criteria to be considered alive
Ordered/organized Reproduction Grow and develop Metabolize Respond to a stimulus Adapt
Life on earth chain
Biosphere - ecosystem - community - population - organism - organ system - organ - tissue - cell - molecule
Ecosystems
Living + nonliving = biotic
Communitys
Only biotic
Trees and animals
Population
Only one type of organism
Poplar trees and deer dicks
Cell is broken up into
Prokaryote and eukarote
Prokarote
Simple
