l Flashcards
Phylogeny
the proposed evolutionary relationship between organisms.
Ionic bonding
two atoms with unequal attraction for valence electrons
Cystol
the semifluid substance within the membrane
cytoskeleton
networks of fibres in cytoplasm
Centriole
Formation of spindle fibres during cell division
Microvilli
Projections of the cell membrane
Archaea
Domain of unicellular prokaryotes that have cell walls that do not contain peptidoglycan
Bacilli
Rod shaped bacteria
Vibrio
Spirals
DNA
deoxyribonucleic acid, a self-replicating material present in nearly all living organisms as the main constituent of chromosomes. It is the carrier of genetic information.
Molecules
Groups of two or more atoms held together by chemical bonds
intramolecular forces
forces within molecules. Forces caused by the attraction and repulsion of charged particles
covalent bonds
Share valence electrons
Non-polar
Electrons shared equally.
Polar
Electrons closer to one atom than the other (not shared equally)
