Bio unit 2 Flashcards
Diffusion
high to low conc
facilitated diffusion
high to low conc; proteins assist molecules too big to go thru membrane by themselves
Osmosis
low to high solute conc (to hypertonic)
- the water wants to DILLUTE the solute
hypertonic
higher solute conc
hypotonic
lower solute conc.
isotonic
equal conc of solute anad water
plasmolysis
cell water loss = shriveled cell
when does plasmoylsis happen?
cell placed in hypertonic environment
phagocytosis
cell eating (unspecific)
pinocytosis
cell drinking (unspecific)
receptor-mediated
binding of external molecules to specific receptor proteins in membrane (specific)
dialysis membrane
semi-permeable film
enzyme
a type of recyclable protein that catalyzes chemical reactions
activation energy
amount of energy needed to stimulate reactants for a reaction
factors that affect enzyme activity
temperature, pH, specificity, concentration
Mitosis chromosome number…
one diploid cell ——> 2 genetically identical diploid cell
How do animal cells perform cytokinesis?
cleavage furrow
How do plant cells perform cytokinseis?
cell plate
Monomer of carbs
monosaccharide
monomer of lipids
glycerol and fatty acids
what are fats made of?
triglycerides
unsaturated fats
less hydrogen than max
saturated fats
max amount of hydrogen
Protein monomer
amino acids
why is carbon so versatile?
can create four covalent bonds
what makes up amino acids?
carbon bonded to… hydrogen, amino group, carboxyl group, R group
Nucleic acid monomer
nucleotides
what are nucleotides made of?
phosphate, sugar, base
Types of bases
Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, Thymine
Benign tumor
not deadly tumor that stays in the place it originated
Malignant tumor
deadly tumor that spreads (metastasis) to other parts of the body
Radiation therapy
high level radiation
(harms cancerous cells more than regular cells)
Chemotherapy
use of drugs to stop cell division; UNSPECIFIC
Cell theory
- all living things are made of cells
- cells are the basic unit of structure and function in living things
- cells come from other cells
People who created the cell theory
Schleiden, Schwann, Virchow
pH scale
0-14
0- acidicity
14- basic
what does the pH scale measure?
measure of the relative amount of free hydrogen and hydroxyl ions
Functional groups
hydroxyl, carbonyl, amino, carboxyl
buffers
substances that can resists pH change upon addition of acidic/basic components
disaccharide examples
sucrose, maltose
polysaccharide examples
starch, glycogen, cellulose
monosaccharide examples
glucose, fructose
who discovered the cell?
Robert Hooke
G1
organelles double
Synthesis
DNA synthesis; chromosome replication
G2
final preparation before division
apoptosis
programmed cell death
