Q

Dehydration reaction

A

bonds two monomers with the loss of H2O
● The -OH of one monomer bonds to the -H of
another monomer forming H2O, which is then
released
- glucose and fructose –> sucrose
○ A+B→AB + H2O

Hydrolysis

A

breaks the bonds in a polymer by adding H2O
● One -H of the H2O bonds to one monomer and the
remaining -OH of the H2O attaches to the other
monomer
- sucrose-> glucose and fructose
○ AB + H2O → A+B

25
Endosymbiont Theory:
The theory that explains the similarities mitochondria and chloroplast have to a prokaryote - ● Theory states that an early eukaryote cell engulfed a prokaryote cell ○ Prokaryotic cell became an endosymbiont (cell that lives in another cell) ○ Became one functional organism
26
cells need a ____ surface area to volume ratio to ____
high, optimize the exchange the material through the plasma membrane
27
Larger cells have a _____ SA-V
lower, LOSE efficiency exchanging materials
28
What happens when there is a large cell?
- the cellular demand for resources increase - rate of heat exchange decreases
29
Phospolipids are ____
amphipathic (hydrophilic head n hydrophobic tail and form a bilayer)
30
integral proteins
Proteins that are embedded into the lipid bilayer - (transmembrane proteins) - amphipatic
31
Peripheral proteins
The proteins of a membrane that are not embedded in the lipid bilayer; loosely bound to the surface of the membrane.
32
why are membrane carbohydrates important?
cell-to -cell recognition
33
What is plasmodesmata?
Hole like structures in the cell wall filled with cytosol that connect adjacent cells
34
What is tocinity?
the ability of an extracellular solution that causes a cell to gain or lose water.
35
Osmoregulation
cells must be able to regulate their solute concentrations and maintain water balance
36
in hypertonic water will move to the
to the extracellular fluid effect: cells shrivel and die
37
Plasmolysis
vacuole shrinks and the plasma membrane will pull away from the cell wall
38
In hypotonic what happens to animal and plant cells?
Animal Cells: lyse and swell Plant cells: cells work optimally (maintain turgor pressure)
39
What are things that can easily can passed across the membrane?
small nonpolar, hydrophobic molecules such as Hydrocarbons, N2, CO, and O2
40
What are things that are difficult to pass across the membrane?
Hydrophilic, polar, large molecules, ions such as sugars and water
41
two categories of transport proteins
channel and carrier -each transport protein is specific for substances it can facilitate movement for
42
What are Sodium-Potassium Pumps
Animal cells will regulate their relative concentrations of Na+ and K - 3 Na+ get pumped out of the cell - 2 K+ get pumped into the cell - Results in a +1 net charge to the extracellular fluid
43
Plants use contrasport for
sugars and amino acids EX: sucrose-H+ cotransporter -Sucrose can travel into a plant cell against its concentration gradient ONLY if it is coupled with H+ that is diffusing down its electrochemical gradient
44
Exocytosis
the secretion of molecules via vesicles that fuse to the plasma membrane
45
endocytosis
the uptake of molecules from vesicles fused to the plasma membrane
46
Phagocytosis
when a cell engulfs particles to be later digested by lysosomes
47
Pinocytosis
nonspecific uptake of extracellular fluid containing dissolved molecules
48
receptor-mediated endocytosis
specific uptake of molecules via solute binding to receptors on the plasma membrane
49
what is favorable and unfavorable movement?
- Favorable movement: downhill diffusion - Unfavorable movement: uphill transport
50
covalent bonds
when 2 or more atoms share electrons
51
nonpolar covalent
electrons are shared equally between two atoms
52
polar covalent
electrons that are not shared equally
53
ionic bonds
the attraction between oppositely charged atoms
54
Cohesion
attraction of molecules for other molecules of the same kind - in plants: H20 molecules stick together
55
adhesion
the clinging of one molecule to a different molecule - In plants, this allows water to cling to the cell walls to resist the downward pull of gravity - h2o molecules stick to the xylem wall
56
Density (floating ice)
as water solidifies it expands and becomes less dense ● Due to the hydrogen bonds ● When cooled, H2O molecules move too slowly to break the bonds ○ Allows marine life to survive under floating ice sheets
57
lipids are nonpolar or polar
nonpolar- hydrophobic
58
Cholesterol
helps maintain fluidity at high and low temps ■ High temp: reduces movement ■ Low temp: reduces tight packing of phospholipids
59
glycolipids vs glycoproteins
glycolipids: cholesterol bonded to lipids glycoproteinsa: cholesterol bonded to proteins
60
Passive transport
transport of a molecule that does not require energy from the cell because a solute is moving with its concentration gradient ex: diffusion, facilitated diffusion, osmosis
61
Channel proteins
provide a channel for molecules and ions to pass aquaporins: channels for water molecules to pass by
62
carrier proteins
undergo conformational changes for substances to pass
63
examples of active transport
- exocytosis, endocytosis, pumps, contrasport
64
proton pump
integral membrane protein that builds up a proton gradient across the membrane ○ Used by plants, fungi, and bacteria ○ Pumps H+ out of the cell
