water polarity
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
high specific heat
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
cohesion
ability of a molecule to stay bonded or attracted to another molecule of same substance
adhesion
ability of water to bond to or attract other molecules or substances
lattice crystal
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
organelles of the cell
nucleus
ribosomes
endoplasmic reticulum
Golgi apparatus
lysosomes
vacuoles
mitochondria
chloroplasts
membrane
nucleus
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
ribosomes
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
endoplasmic reticulum
rough ER: attached with ribosomes, responsible for protein synthesis and membrane production
smooth ER: lacks ribosomes, works as detoxification and metabolism of multiple molecules
Golgi apparatus
packages, processes, ships proteins from ER throughout the cell
lysosomes
where intracellular digestion takes place, can hydrolyze proteins, fats, sugars, and nucleic acids
vacuoles
different functions depending on cell
phagocytosis: uptake food through mem, creating food vacuole
in plant cells, is storage, waste disposal, protection and hydrolysis
mitochondria
found in eukaryotes and is the site of cellular respiration
chloroplasts
found in plants, the site of photosynthesis
