Q

How do you test for starch

A

Take iodine and dip into your object that you want to test, If it stays the same color then no starch is present but if it turns a blue-black color then starch is present

Q

What happens when a enzyme combines with a substrate

A

usually the substrate is held there with weak bonds, The active site then changes shape which is called “induced fit” the enzyme can build up or break down the substate and we call the resulting item “the product”

Q

What is plaque

A

It is a thick deposit that builds up in your arteries that makes them thick and hard

24
Q

in which arteries does the plaque build up in

A

the arteries that runs from and to your heart and brain

25
what is the condition called that has to much plaque in their arteries
atherosclerosis
26
What problems can cholesterol cause
heart attack and stroke
27
what is the makeup of a chloroplast
double membrane, thylakoid, granum, intergranum, stroma, starch granule
28
where is chlorophyll found
inside the thylakoid
29
what is excretion
waste products are removed out of the body
30
what is secretion
necessary substances that are released on or inside the body
31
what is the makeup of a chromosome
chromatids, centromere, gene
32
what forms the spindle fibres during cell division
centrioles
33
what binds more than one chromatid together
centromere
34
what is the definition of diffusion
The movement of gases or dissolved substances from a high to low concentration until equilibrium is reached NOTE: can take places with or without membranes. Passive process - no energy needed.
35
what is the definition of Osmosis
the movement of water molecules from a high to low water potential, over a selectively permeable membrane, until equilibrium is reached NOTE: Always over a membrane. Passive process - No energy needed.
36
what is the definition of active transport
the movement of gasses or dissolved substances from a low to high concentration (against the concentraition gradient) unsing energy (ATP molecules) until equilibrium is reached. NOTE: always over a membrane. The only active process - energy needed
37
what is a cell membrane
is semipermeable but by doing so, it keeps things in the cell stable
38
what is "semipermeable"
only select molecules can get in or out
39
is cytoplasm found in prokaryote's or eukaryote's or both
both
40
what is the cytoskeleton
a collection of fibres that can provide support for its cells and organelles and can play a big role in cell movement
41
what are ribosomes
that are not membrane bound organelles found in both prokaryote's and eukaryotes that make protein and can be free in cytoplasm or attached to other organelles
42
Does prokaryote's have DNA
yes, but not in a nucleus
43
does prokaryotes have a nucleus
no it does not
44
does prokaryotes have cytoplasm
yes
45
does eukaryotes have cytoplasm
yes
46
does eukaryotes have a nucleus
yes and it contains the DNA
47
does prokaryotes and eukaryote both have ribosomes and cell membranes
yes
48
which of the two (prokaryotes or eukaryotes) has membrane bound organelles
eukaryotes
49
What is a Nucleus
it holds genetic material and controls cell activities, inside of a nucleus is a nucleolus
50
what does the nucleolus do
it produces ribosomes
51
what is the endoplasmic reticulum
It is attached to the nuclear membrane. endoplasmic reticulum (ER) does a lot of processing of molecules and transports molecules. There is a rough ER and a smooth ER
52
What is the difference between a rough ER and a smooth ER
Rough ER means that there are ribosomes attached, smooth ER means that there are no Ribosomes attached
53
what is the function of the Rough ER
involved in protein production and transportation. A molecule that leaves the ER can be sent away in a Vesicle
54
What is the function of the smooth ER
It is involved the detoxification and can make types of lipids
55
what is the Golgi apparatus
It can reserve items from vesical that came from the ER. It has enzymes that can modify molecules and can sort the material it reserve. It can determine where to send those molecules. It can be secreted.
56
what is the functions for the mitochondria
Makes ATP energy in a proses called cellular respiration. Runs on glucose and needs oxygen to effectively make ATP
