Q

just look at the picture

A
26
Q

Define Dynamic Equilibrium

A

Water moves equally in both directions & cell remains the same size. (equal concentration of solute and solution)

27
Q

Describe Stem Cells

A

Undifferented(blank) cells with potential to develop into many different cell types that carry different functions.

28
Q

What is a Passive Transport?

A
  • Cell uses no energy
  • molecules move randomly
  • molecules move from an area of high conentration to an area of low concentration
29
Q

Decribe a vauole, cousin.

A
  • Stores materials like water, salts proteins and carbohydrates
  • Plant cells have a single, large vauole
  • A vacuole is filled w/ liquid which makes the cell rigid so plants can support heavy stems, flowers & leafs. When the vacuole is low, the plant wilts
30
Q

Whats the cell theory?

A

All living things are made of cells Cells are the basic structure &; function for every living thing New cells are produced from old cells

31
Q

Whats an example of a stem cell?

A

Stemcells found in embryos can turn into all type of cells in human body like the brain, bone, heart, skin, etc.

32
Q

Remeber this: Muscles uses pumps that goes against concentration!!!!!

A

…ok, cousin. You don’t have to yell.

33
Q

Hey, heres a random picture of a neuron to make you feel better.

A

Thanks cuz, I needed that

I know you did

34
Q

Describe the Nucleus

A
  • Has pores to allow materials to move in and out of nucleus
  • Chromatin- which are “spread out” chromosomes- condense when cell divides
  • Nuclear Envelope(2 membranes)
  • Nucleus- Assembly of ribosomes begins
35
Q

Describe Unicellular Cell Specialization

A

Sometimes a cell is the organism

Unicellular organisms are aka single celled organisms

Outnumber multicellular organisms

36
Q

What is Cell Membrane?

A
  • flexible structure that reguates what enters and leaves cell
  • like a fluis mosaic
  • Selectively Permeable- Some substances pass through and some dont
37
Q

Define selectively permeable

A

When some substances can or can not pass through

38
Q

just take time to look at this one

A
39
Q

Whats a Cell Wall

A

Its main function is to SUPPORT, SHAPE, and PROTECT, the cell

lies outside cell membrane ( no brainer)

porous enough for water, O2, carbdon dioxide and certain other substances to pass through

Provides strength for plant to stand gainst force of gravity

nearly all wood is cell walls (lumber, paper)

40
Q

In a Hypotonic solution, water moves from the solution to the ____of a cell. If this continues, it’ll swell and bust open

A

In a Hypotonic solution, water moves from the solution to the inside of a cell. If this continues, it’ll swell and bust open

41
Q

Whats the 8 characteristics of life?

A
  • Based on universal genetic code(DNA)
  • Grows and develops
  • Responds to environment
  • Reproduces
  • Maintains homeostasis(stable internal environment)
  • Obtains and uses materials an energy
  • As a group, changes over time
  • Made of cells
42
Q

Describe bacterial DNA

A
  • Chromatin consits of DNA bound to protien
  • When a cell divides, chromatin condenses to form chromosomes
  • genetic material that codes for protiens
  • plasmids are small circular pieces of DNA found in bateria
43
Q

Name the parts of the Nucleus

A
  • Nuclear Pores

just take time to look at this one, okay? Okay. There you go.

life is good now

A
47
Q

What is an Active Transport

A
  • cell uses energy
  • actively moves molecules to where they’re needed
  • movement of molecules from an area of low-high concentration
48
Q

In an Isotonic solution, water moves _____ in ____ directions & the cell remains the same size. (Dynamic Equilibrium)

A

In an Isotonic solution, water moves equally** in **both directions & the cell remains the same size. (Dynamic Equilibrium)
