cell shit Flashcards
Golgi apparatus
These lil guys package and distribute proteins and lipids into vesicles.
lipids
fats
vesicle
temporary forms of transport that get engulfed by the cell membrane.
chloroplast
contains chlorophyl the dose photosynthesis
lysosome
they break down things using digestive enzymes.
Mitochondria
main source of energy within the cell it also carries out aerobic respiration. It breaks down sugar to produce ATP
cell membrane
A double bi-layer barrier of the cell made from polar and non-polar phospholipids that let water pass through however larger molecule needs to pass through the receptor proteins. (selectively permeable)
difference between RNA and DNA?
DNA is double helixed and RNA is a copy of the DNA with only a single strand.
ATP
ATP is the most common carrier of energy
Metabolism
the sum of all chemical reactions inside a cell
These can build pathways that are a sequence of chemical reaction that depend on each other the provide reactants.
Inhibition Regulation
A temporary molecule that binds with an enzyme to cease the reaction as it changes the shape of the activation site. (non competetive)
Competitive Inhibition
a molecule that blocks the active site of the enzyme to cease the reaction.
exergonic and endergonic reactions?
biochemical reaction
exer = reactants have more energy
endo = reactants have less energy
Activation energy
minimum energy required to conduct a chemical reaction.
Adaptations
philological, structural and behavior traits passed down via the survival generation.
