Ch.3 Cells Flashcards
process that separates the chromosomes in the nucleus of a germ cell, resulting in the production of 4 genetically different haploid nuclei
meiosis
meiosis goes through ______ twice
PMAT
in meiosis, the new nuclei have ___ chromosomes and are ___________ genetically
23; differently
3 processes that only occur in meiosis:
Synapsis, Crossing Over, Skipping replication
nuclear membrane and nucleolus disintegrate
prophase I (meiosis)
centrioles with spindle fibers move to poles
prophase I (meiosis)
chromatin turns into chromosome form (homologous chromosomes XX)
prophase I (meiosis)
synapsis occurs (XX) then crossing over happens
prophase I (meiosis)
Levels of organization in the human body:
Atoms,molecules,macromolecules,organelles,cell,tissue,organs,organ systems,organisms
Characteristics of life:
growth, reproduction, responsiveness, movement, metabolism, respiration, digestion, circulation, excretion
Five Environmental Requirements of an Organism
water, heat, pressure, oxygen, food
2 body cavities
dorsal & ventral
dorsal includes:
cranial and vertebral
organs in cranial:
cerebrum, cerebellum, pituitary gland, hypothalamus, medula oblongata
organs in vertebral:
spinal cord
ventral cavity includes:
thoracic, abominable, pelvic
organs in thoracic:
lungs, heart, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli, esophagus, thymus gland
organs in abdominal:
liver, gallbladder, stomach, spleen, pancreas, small intestine, large intestine, appendix, kidneys, adrenal glands, ureters
organs in pelvic:
urinary bladder, testes, ovaries, rectum
the 3 membranes
pericardial, pleural, peritoneal
types of membranes
Paerietal- outer membranes covering all organs in 360, attached to wall
Visceral- cover individual internal organs

metals on the periodic table
everything to left except(H) and stops at Al, Sn, Po
metalloids on the periodic table
7 inbetween starts at B to At
nonmetals on the periodic table
diagonal down from C to Rn and everything to left of it (also H)
neutral
same number or protons and electrons
ion
does not have the same number of protons and electrons
stable
outer most energy level full of electrons
isotope
same element but diff number of neutrons
Lewis Diagram
element symbol with the amount of valence electrons circled around
shorthand writing of a molecule or compound
Chemical/molecular formulas
show how many atoms are joined and how these atoms are arranged
structural formula
H-H
structural formula for H^2
O=C=O

most abundant, most metabolic reactions occur in water, moves chemicals, blood flow, carries heat
oxygen
release energy from glucose , carried by red blood cells
carbon dioxide
produced as waste product
salts
composed of oppositely charged ions, abundant in tissue and fluid, necessary in metabolic processes
