Big To Small Flashcards
Cell Wall
Keeps the shape of the cell.
In plants it is made of cellulose (sell - u - lowse)
In fungi it is made of chitin (ky - tin)
Cell Membrane
A semi permeable membrane around the cell that controls what comes in and out
Cytoplasm
Where all the chemical reactions take place
Nucleus
controls the cell, contains DNA - chromosomes + genes
Mitochondria
where respiration takes place
Vacuole
Cell sap store, energy store
Ribosomes
Create proteins
Chloroplasts
Where photosynthesis takes place (contains chlorophyll (klaw - ro - fill))
Similarities between a plant and animal cell
Cytoplasm
Nucleus
Cell membrane
Mitochondria
Ribosomes
Differences between a plant and animal cell
Plants have:
Chloroplasts
Cell wall
Vacuole
Chemical elements in carbohydrates
CHO
Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen
Chemical elements in protein
CHON
Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen
Chemical elements in Lipids
CHO
Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen
Structure of proteins
Amino Acids
Structure of lipids
Glycerol and 3 fatty acids
Starch and glycogen are…..
Simple sugars
Test for Glucose
Add Benedict’s solution
Place in 80 degree hot water bath for 5 minutes
Blue -> Red
Test for protein
Add buiret solution
Shake
Blue -> Purple
Test for lipids(fats)
Add water (shake), add ethanol (shake)
Turns milky white
Test for starch
Add iodine to sample on a spotting tile
Orange -> blue/black
DNA Shape
Double helix, linked by pair base = A -T and C - G
What is a biological catalyst
A substance that speeds up a reaction (Enzymes)
How to enzymes work
Enzyme and substrate collide
Substrate binds to the enzymes active site
Reaction happens (Enzyme - substrate complex)
Products go away
How does a lower temperature effect the enzyme rate of reaction
Lower temperature = enzymes have low kinetic energy + move slowly
Less enzyme/substrate collisions
How does a higher temperature effect the enzyme rate of reaction
Higher temperature = more kinetic energy, enzymes are moving faster
Collisions between enzymes/substrate are harder so the enzymes active site is damages
Substrate doesn’t fit
No successful reactions
Put these in order from small -> large, and add examples:
Organism, Tissue, Cell, Organs, Organelle, Organ system
Organelle (Mitrochondria)
Cell (Red blood cell)
Tissue - makes up organs
Organs (Stomach)
Organ system (digestive system)
Organism (Human)
What are specialised cells
All cells begin as stem cells, then get told what to do.
Some stem cells become specialised cells
They have a specific functions such as a sperm cell, red blood cell, or leaf cell.
They have special adaptions
What is a eukaryote
Cells of animals, plants and fungi are called eukaryotic cells . They contain membrane bound organelles such as a nucleus and mitochondria.
What is a prokaryote
Simple cells that lack a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles.
They are single-celled organisms such as bacteria
What is a pathogen
A microorganism that causes disease
