What is the word equation for kinetic energy?
kinetic energy = 0.5 × mass × speed2
What is the word symbol for kinetic energy?
Ek = ½ m v2
What is the word equation for gravitational potential energy?
gravitational potential energy = mass × gravitational field strength (g) × height
What is the symbol equation for gravitational potential energy?
Ep = m g h
What is the word equation for power energy?
power = energy transferred
time
What is the symbol equation for power energy?
P = E
t
What is the equation foe efficiency?
efficiency = useful output energy transfer
total input energy transfer
What is a eukaryotic cell?
a cell with membrane bound organelles
What is a prokaryotic cell?
there usually are a lot smaller. note that they sometimes have cell walls
What is the equation for magnification?
Magnification = size of image/size of real object
Define diffusion
Diffusion is the spreading out of particles of a substance from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.
Name 3 things that effect the rate of diffusion
The rate of diffusion is increased by the difference in concentration, the temperature and the available surface area.
what is osmosis?
Osmosis is a special case of diffusion. It is the movement of water from a dilute to a more concentrated solution through a partially permeable membrane.
What is active transport?
- Moves substances from a more dilute solution to a more concentrated solution (against a concentration gradient). requires energy
how is dna stored in prokaryotic cells?
- The genetic material in a prokaryotic cell is a loop of DNA
- Prokaryotes also have small extra loops of DNA called plasmids
