Q

Difference between growth and development:

A

Growth is increasing on size and number of cells and development is the changes from conception to death.

What us another name for the dependent variable?

26
Testing your hypothesis
Experiment
27
Results of the experiment
Data
28
States wether the results of the experiment support or reject the hypothesis
Conclusion
29
What states the cell theory?
States that all living things are made of cells, that every cell comes from a pre-existing cell, and that the cell is the smallest unit of life.
30
What's a prokaryotic cell?
A cell without nucleus.
31
2 aspects of the biological evolution:
Descendant | Adaptation
32
There was matter with high density that in a certain moment, exploded and it was expanded in all directions.
Big Bang Theory
33
Characteristic of the living things:
- They are organized - They acquire materials and energy. - They are homeostatic. - They respond to stimuli. - They reproduce. - They grow and develop. - They adapt and evolve.
34
Was a Dutch scientist that created the microscope, and he discovered the cells through it.
Antoine Philips Van Leeuwenhoek.
35
Schleiden
plants are made of cells.
36
Schwann
animals are made of cells.
37
Virchow
new cells were made from pre-existing cells.
38
Controls what pass and what not
Cytoplasm
39
Stores DNA
Nucleus
40
Processing and modification of PROTEINS
RER, rough endoplasmic reticulum.
41
Synthesizing PHOSPHOLIPIDS.
SER, Smooth endoplasmic reticulum.
42
They store substances such as water, pigments, and toxins.
Vacuoles.
43
Assembles and dissembles as needed and maintains cell shape.
Cytoskeleton.
44
Name the characteristic of the plasma membrane that allows only certain things inside and outside of the cell:
Semipermeability
45
The regulation of the entrance and exit of molecules helps the cell and the organism maintain a steady internal environment, a process called:
Homeostasis
46
Name the type of energy active transport uses:
ATP
47
Movement of molecules from a higher to a lower concentration.
Passive transport
48
The plasma membrane is made up mainly of
2 layers of phospholipids.
49
Type of transport to the cell, that does not require energy and it is driven completely by the concentration gradient:
Diffusion
50
A cell expels a vesicles content to the extracellular fluid (outside of the cell):
exocytosis
51
A solution contains:
A solute (solid) and a solvent (water).
52
Osmotic pressure or tension of the solution:
Tonicity
53
Two fluids (separated by a membrane) that have the same overall concentration of solutes.
Isotonic
54
If the fluids have different concentration of solutes, the one with the lower concentration is called:
hypotonic
55
The one with the highest concentration of solutes is called:
hypertonic
56
The main difference between active and passive transport, is that active transport requires:
Energy
57
A transport protein pumps a solute across a cell membrane agains its concentration gradient:
Active transport
58
Diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane:
Osmosis
59
Passive transport of a substance along the concentration gradient, it requires a carrier protein.
Facilitated Transport
60
Types of proteins according to their function, which are located in the plasma membrane:
Channel, carrier and receptor proteins.
61
Movement of molecules at the same time, one molecule drives the other one across a transport protein.
Contrasport
62
When the material taken by the endocytosis is large, such as food particle or another cell, the process is called:
Phagocytosis
63
Explain what concentration gradient is:
When concentration goes from high to low.
64

68
Was the first cell
The Protocell
69
Was the first reproduction of the cell and is prokaryotic
The Truecell
70
Vesicles form a way to transport molecules INTO a cell:
Endocytosis
71
When the material taken by the endocytosis is small, such as liquids and particles dissolved in it, the process is called:
Pinocytosis
72
A type of pinocytosis that involves a coated pit
Receptor Mediated Endocytosis.
