Q

water polarity

A

allows for hydrogen bonding between molecules
results in benefit of high specific heat, strong cohesive and adhesive properties, formation of lattice crystal, and universal solvent

Q

high specific heat

A

amount of heat necessary to raise the temperature of
1 gram of that molecule by 1° Celsius
allows water to resist changes in temp = stabilize climates

Q

lattice crystal

A

when water freezes, forms this crystal causing molecules to spread apart and into ice floating in water. water is unique as most substances will pack tighter, not together

Q

nucleus

A

contains the DNA of cell in the chromosomes (organized masses)
C will contain all the genetic info needed for regeneration and instructions for function of cell

Q

ribosomes

A

organelle that reads the RNA produced and translate the genetic instructions to produce proteins
either bound to ER or free floating in cytoplasm, both have different roles

Q

endoplasmic reticulum

A

rough ER: attached with ribosomes, responsible for protein synthesis and membrane production
smooth ER: lacks ribosomes, works as detoxification and metabolism of multiple molecules

Q

vacuoles

A

different functions depending on cell
phagocytosis: uptake food through mem, creating food vacuole
in plant cells, is storage, waste disposal, protection and hydrolysis

Q

cell membrane

A

protection, communication, and passage of substances into and out of the cell
phospholipid bilayer creates a hydrophobic region between the two layers = selectively permeable

17
Q

cellular respiration

A

C6H12O6 + 6O2 –> 6CO2 +6H2O
catabolic pathway that leads to cellular energy production
