Q

Chloroplasts

A

Plastids that contain the green pigment chlorophyll especially through photosynthesis

18
Q

Chromoplasts

A

Plastids that contain orange and yellow pigments

19
Q

Amyloplasts

A

Colourless plastids that store starch

20
Q

Centriole pair

A

microtubules move the chromosomes around the cell during mitosis most importantly lining the chromosomes up at Metaphase

21
Q

Cell theory

A

Smallest form of life
All living things are composed of one of more cells
New cells arose from pre-existing cells

22
Q

ATP

A

A compound temporarily stores chemical energy

23
Q

ADP

A

Organic compound in the metabolism and essentials of energy in living cells

24
Q

What structures are present in animal cells but not in plant cells

A

Cell membrane centrioles smaller vacuoles, cilia and lysosomes

25
What structures are present in plant cells but not an animal cell
Cell wall, plastids, chloroplast, | Larger vacuoles.
26
Anaerobic respiration
The chemical process in which oxygen is used to produce energy from carbohydrates
27
Anaerobic respiration
A chemical process in which carbohydrates are partially broken down without using oxygen. A small amount of energy is produced in this manner
28
Cellular respiration components
O2+C6H12O6 produces CO2 and H2O and energy
29
Photosynthesis components
CO2 and H2O and energy Produces O2+C6H12O6
30
Where is the energy produced by respiration stored
Mitochondrion
31
Carbohydrates
Organic molecule made up of | Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen
32
Monosaccharide
Simplest form of carbohydrate
33
Polysaccharide
The carbohydrate made up of three or more monosaccharides
34
Disaccharide
The carbohydrate made it to monosaccharides
35
Dehydration synthesis
Reaction in which two or more molecules bond by losing one or more water molecules
36
Hydrolysis
The chemical reaction in which the interactions of water and a compound result in breaking up of that compound (water is added)
37
Simple vs compels carbohydrates
The chemical structure, reflect how quickly the sugar is digested and absorbed,
38
Carbohydrate functions
Provides energy and regulates blood glucose, spares protein for energy, breaks down fatty acids and prevents ketosis biologically recognized process, Adds flavour and sweetening dietary fibers
39
Fats
Natural oily substance that occurs in animal surround organs and skin
40
Ribosomes
structures within the cell, where protein synthesis occur
