Review Flashcards
endosymbiosis
creation of mitochondria
- bacterium engulfs but no digest archaeon
evidence of endosymbosis
(1) double membrane
(2) size: mitochondria ≈ bacterium
(3) replication by fission, not mitosis
(4) replication independent of nucleus - timing
(5) bacterial-like ribosomes
(6) special genome (circular ≠ linear)
molecules that build living orgs
(1) mainly H2O
(2) large molcules: proteins, nucleic acids, carbs & lipids
monomer
small molecule that covalently bind to otro similar molecules to form large macromolecule
polymer
any long molecule composed of small repeating units (monomers) bonded juntos
hydrolysis
polymer + H2O → monomer
condensation
monomer → polymer + H2O
types of polymers
(1) protein
(2) nucleic acid
(3) polysaccharides
cilia
short, filamentous projections used for motion & to circulate fluid/particles around surface of STATIONARY cell
- found in single-celled eukaryotes
- asymmetric wave form
- many per cell
- core = microtubules
(ie) ciliated epithelia
flagella
long, cellular projection that undulates (eukaryotes) or rotates (prokaryotes) to move cell through aqueous environment
- symmetric wave form
- only 1-2 per cell
(ie) spermatoza
microvilli
tiny protusions from surface of epithelial cell
- fcn: ↑ surface area for substance absorption
- look like cilia & flagella
- immobile
cilia / flagella structure
(1) microtubules (9 + 2 structure)
(2) dynein arms
(3) covered in plasma membrane
(4) axoneme
model systems
used to study flagellum
levels of biological organization
(1) biosphere
(2) ecosystem
(3) community
(4) population
(5) multicellular organism
(6) organ system
(7) organ
(8) tissue
(9) cell
(10) organelle
(11) molecule
(12) atom
