Biology unit 3 Flashcards
How do cells specialize to perform a specific function in a multicellular organism?
produce proteins to facilitate that function
How does active transport store potential energy?
It strengthens a concentration gradient.
How does a biological pathway work?
Proteins coordinate a chain reaction consisting of numerous steps
What is the purpose of ATP in cellular respiration?
it stores the potential energy released from glucose molecules.
What are the four cellular processes?
- cellular respiration
- cellular reproduction
- protein synthesis
- cellular transport
Four parts that make up the cell membrane
- hydrophilic head
- hydrophobic tail
- lipid bilayer
- channel protien
Organelle that modifies proteins
RER
Organelle that manufactures lipids
SER
organelle that assembles proteins
ribosome
organelle that stores nutrients or waste
vacuole
Organelle that breaks down molecules and wastes
lysosome
organelle that modifies and labels lipids and proteins
Golgi apparatus
Organelle that extracts energy from organic molecules
mitochondrion
Three stages of cellular respiration
- glycolysis
- citric acid cycle
- election transport chain
What gas does the citric acid cycle produce
CO_2
