Bio 1 Flashcards
Each level has
distinct properties
Atoms
smallest unit of matter
Molecule
group of atom chemically bonded together
E.g Molecul
Phosphate
MACROmolecule
large molecules made of monomers
monomers
repeating chains of molecules
4 types of macromolecules
carbs, lipids, proteins, nucleic acids.
e.g macromolecules
phospholipids
Organelle
specialized part of a cell
e.g organelle
plasma membrane
tissue
group of similar and specialized cells that perform a specific funcition
e.g. tissue
heart muscle tissue
cell
simplest unit of life
e.g. cell
muscle cell
organ
structure made of different tissues working together to complete a complex bodily function
e.g organ
heart
organ system
2+ organs and structures that work together to complete a major body function
e.g organ system
circulatory system
organism
distinct living thing, multi or uni cellular
multi cellular
plants, animals, fungi,
uni cellular
bacteria, protists
Cell wall
protects, supports, made of cellulose not in animals
cell membrane
protects, controls movement in and out, selectively permeable, in ALL cells, made of phospholibids,
movement of the cell membrane
small molecules (CO2, O2, H2O), can diffuse throught the phospholipids. Proteins in the membrane can act as channels for larger molecules
Cytoplasm
inside the membrane outside the nucleus, organelles are in the cytoplasm
cytosol
jelly-like substance made mostly of water fills cell,
nucleus
control center, contains chromosomes (made of DNA)
Nucleolus
dense area inside the nucleus where ribosomes are made
Mitochondria
tiny sausage shaped, provides energy to the cell, site of aerobic cellular respiration
ATP
energy, is used by the other organelles for processes
Equation for cellular respiration
sugar +O2=CO2 + H20 +Energy (ATP)
Ribosomes
microscopic sphere attaches to the ER or gloating in the cytoplasm. Makes proteins
ER
network of canals, transports materials, may have ribosome (rough), may not have ribosomes (smooth)
Golgi apparatus
faltttend sacs, produces vesicles (transport sacs). Modifies and exports proteins
Lysosomes
saclike made by golgi, contains enzymes that break down large molecules or worm out cell parts
vacuole
fluid filled space, water + sugar + starch, helps with water regulation in plants, can store food or help with movement
Centriole
small protein structures, cell division
chloroplast
in green plants and some protists, convert sunlight to food via photosynthesis, co2 + H20 + sun = sugar +o2
cilia
protein fibres, for movement, short, numerous, on cell surface
