ANIMAL CELL & MEMBRANE TRANSPORT Flashcards
contains one or more carbon
ORGANIC MOLECULES
do not contain carbon
INORGANIC
makes up large portion of living organisms
WATER
liberates hydrogen ions (H+)
ACID
liberates hydroxyl ions (OH-)
BASE
compounds are split into smaller pieces; + water molecule
HYDROLYSIS
larger compounds are synthesized from smaller compounds
CONDENSATION/SYNTHESIS
the concentration of H+ in solution: scale runs from 0 - 14
pH
pH above 7
BASIC SOLUTION
pH below 7
ACIDIC SOLUTION
pH of 7
NEUTRAL SOLUTION
molecules that prevent drastic changes in pH of fluids
BUFFER
source of chemical energy
CARBOHYDRATES
classes of carbohydrates
MONOSACCHARIDES - simple sugar
DISACCHARIDES - double sugar
POLYSACCHARIDES - complex sugar
fatty substances; insoluble in water (nonpolar)
LIPIDS
STEROIDS
fat - like properties
important components of cell membranes
PHOSPHOLIPIDS
composed of amino acid - linked by peptide bonds
PROTEINS
complex molecules with sequence of nitrogenous bases; molecule that can replicate themselves (w/ help of enzymes)
NUCLEIC ACIDS
consist of ribose sugar; double stranded
DNA
deoxyribose sugar; single stranded
RNA
true or false:
DNA will undergo TRANSCRIPTION to produce RNA
TRUE
mRNA will undergo____ to produce proteins
TRANSLATION
sequence of 3 bases- encodes specific amino acid
CODON
contains protein enzymes; favored over with RNA only.
PROTOCELLS
coined the term “cell”
ROBERT HOOKE
ANTON VAN LEEUWENHOEK
invented compound microscope
ROBERT BROWN
described nucleus & cytoplasmic movement
proposed cell theory
MATTHIAS SCHLEIDAN & THEODORE SCHWANN
states that all living organism are composed of cells
CELL THEORY
what separates internal metabolism from its environment: outer boundary
