Mr. Mateki first test Flashcards
What is different about the organelles of prokaryotes?
They have no mitochondria, no nucleus, and small ribosomes.
What is different about the DNA of prokaryotes.
Their DNA does not have chromosomes, it is circular.
What is the major difference between prokaryotes and eukaryotes?
Prokaryotes are single-celled organisms, while Eukaryotes are multicellular.
Heterotroph
types of organisms that obtain energy from the food they consume.
Autogtrouph
organisms that are able to produce their own food
Rough ER
internal membrane system where proteins are synthesized.
Smooth ER
internal membrane system where lipids are synthesized, drugs are detoxified, and carbohydrates are synthesized.
Golgi apparatus
modifies, sorts, and packages proteins.
Nucleus
Where DNA is stored.
Cell membrane
outermost boundary of most cells. Regulates passage of materials into and out of the cell.
Nucleolus
where the assembly of ribosomes begins
Vacuoles
store materials like water, salts, proteins, and carbohydrates.
Mitochondria
convert the chemical energy stored in food molecules into compounds that are more convenient for the cell to use.
Cytoplasm
jelly-like fluid outside of nucleus but inside the CM. Organelles are found here.
Chloroplast
capture energy from sunlight and convert it into chemical energy stored in food during photosynthesis. Only in plant cells
What are the 7 conditions for life
- Energy
- Water
- Organic (carbon)
- DNA
- Reproduction
- Growth
- Death
Cation
is positive
anion
is negative
Solvent
the thing that does the dissolving
Solute
the thing that gets dissolved
What has to happen for salt to get dissolved in water?
For salt to dissolve in water it has to ionize
Dissolve
when the solute mixes with the solvent to get a solution
Diffusion
when molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration
Osmosis
the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane
Ionic bond
when one or more electrons are transferred from one atom to another
Covalent bond
formed when moving electrons travel around the nuclei of 2 atoms. They are sharing the electrons.
Hydrogen Bond
a form of weak interaction that form between a hydrogen atom of one molecule and an oxygen or nitrogen atom of another molecule.
List the bonds from strongest to weakest
An ionic bond is stronger than a covelent bond which is stronger than a hydrogen bond.
Acid
proton donor
Base
proton acceptor, can donate OH
Reduction
when something is gained (mass, energy, ect)
Oxidation
when something is lost, because an object was broken apart.
List all the light dependent reactions of photosynthesis in order
- Photosystem II P680
- Electron transport system
- Photosystem I P700
- ATP synthase
What is the light independent reaction of photosynthesis
Kalvin cycle
Which P is photosystem one
P700
Glucose
energy source for all metabolic processes. Eventually turns into ATP, which is used by our bodies.
ATP (adenine triphosphate)
made of Adenine, Ribose, and 3 phosphate groups.
Explain how ATP goes to ADP and back
ATP is a fully charged battery. When ATP puts energy out (loosing one phosphate), it turns into ADP. ADP gains energy by taking in a phosphate, becoming ATP.
What substances go into and come out of photosynthesis
Carbon dioxide and water go into photosynthesis, and glucose and oxygen come out of photosynthesis.
What happens during light dependent reactions
They use energy from sunlight to convert ADP and NADP+ into ATP and NADPH. Oxygen is produced as a byproduct.
What happens during light independent reactions (words)
They use chemical energy produced during light-dependent reactions to synthesize stable, high-energy sugars.
Where does photosystem II take place
thylakoid membrane
During photosystem II, how are electrons energized, and where do they go after being energized?
Light is captured to energize electrons. These electrons are passed into the electron transport chain.
