Dna Review Flashcards
Cell theory
1) Created by other cells
2) basic structure of life
3) organisms are made up of one or more cells
how specialized cells share a division of labor
Specialized cells do one type of job
5 levels of organization in the human body
Cell Tissue Organ Organ system Organism
difference between an element and a compound
Element: made of one chemical
Compound: made of more than one element
functions of the 4 organic compounds found in cells
Lipids
Carbon
Protein
Carbohydrates
the differences between plant and animal cells
Plant cells have cell walls, and chloroplasts while animal plants don’t
Animal cells have Lysosome
Function of cell wall
To protect the plant cell
Function of ribosomes
Creates proteins
Function of nucleus
To control cells action
Function of mitochondria
Powerhouse of the cell
Organelles that help move materials through the cell
Endoplasmic reticulum
Golgi apparatus
Cell membrane
Characteristics of living thins
Reproduce Responds to things around the Gets rid of wastes Grows Cellular organization Uses energy
The four needs of living things
Food
Stable internal conditions
Living space
Water
Autotrophs and heterotrophs
Autotrophs: creates their own food
Heterotrophs: Feeds off of other organisms
Asexual vs sexual
Asexual: has on,y one parent and is a clone of the parent
Sexual: has two parents
Structure of rna and Dna
Rna: half a Double helix
Dna: double helix
Function of DNA RNA
Rna provides codes to make proteins
Dna Creates codes
Gene
A sequence of DNA that determines a trait and is passed from parent to offspring.
DNA replication
1) DNA unzips itself
2) nitrogen bases in the nucleus pairs up with the bases on the DNA halves
3) two new identical DNA molecules are formed
Multicellular Vs Unicellular
Multicellular: Made more of one cell
Unicellular: made of one cell
Necessary inorganic compound cells need to live
Water
Why would cells need water
Carries substances through the body
Water changes temperatures slowly
Dissolves substances
Helps cells keep shape
Which Nucleic acid pairs up with Adenine
Thymine
What protein pairs up with cytosine
Guanine
What is the protein RNA has but not DNA
Uracil
