Q

Fundamental unit of matter?

19
Q

Matter?

A

Anything that occupies space and has mass

20
Q

Element?

A

A pure substance that cannot be broken down by ordinary means

21
Q

Atom?

A

Smallest unit that retains properties of an element

22
Q

Compound?

A

Substance composed of two or more elements (ionic or covalent bonding)

23
Q

Atomic Number?

A

Number of protons in an atom

24
Q

Atomic Mass?

A

Number of Protons and Neutrons in the nucleus

25
Isotope?
Atoms of the same element that have different mass due to different number of Neutrons
26
Molecule?
Two or more atoms bonded together (covalent bonding)
27
Types of chemical bonding?
Ionic-positive and negative Covalent-sharing electrons Hydrogen-hydrogen in one molecule being attracted to a non-hydrogen in another molecule (negative hydrogen attracted positive oxygen in the case of a water molecule)
28
Cytoplasmic Membrane?
"Security fence" of the cells composed of phospholipids
29
Cytoplasm/Cytosol?
Fluid of the cell
30
Ribosomes?
Produce proteins
31
Proteasomes?
Disassemble proteins
32
Cytoskeleton?
Microscopic structures of protein filaments and tubules that give a cell structure
33
Centrioles?
Organize microtubules and play a role in cell division
34
How many amino acids is the average human protein?
300
35
Organelles?
Membrane-bound
36
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum?
It has ribosomes attached, giving it a rough appearance, which means it synthesizes proteins.
37
What does Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum do?
Synthesizes lipids and steroids.
38
Golgi Body?
"Sorting role" prepares proteins and fat for use
39
Nucleas?
Has DNA
40
Nucleolus?
Structure within the nucleus that facilitates ribosome biogenesis.
41
Process associated with fundamental biology?
``` DNA -Transcription- mRNA -Translation- Protein ```
42
Lysosome?
A membrane-bound cell organelle that contains digestive enzymes.
43
What does the Mitochondria do?
Produces energy
