teas - bio Flashcards
anabolic
reaction is a reaction that uses energy to build molecules the organism need
catabolic
reaction breaks down complex molecules into smaller molecules to create energy for the organism to use.
Oxidation
is when an element loses one or more electrons to oxygen
Reduction
is when an element gains one or more electrons.
Cellular respiration
is the process in which a cell takes in oxygen and uses it to break down glucose to create energy in the form of ATP.
electron transport chain
oxygen accepts electrons and picks up protons to form water
Epithelial tissue
functions as the lining and covering of body surfaces and cavitie
Muscle tissue
functions in facilitating voluntary and involuntary movements
Connective tissue
responsible for the support and protection of tissues and organs
Nerve tissue
responsible for transmitting nerve impulses.
White blood cells contain a larger number of _______because they need to dispose of harmful intruders
lysosomes
Mitochondria
organelles responsible for generating energy-rich molecules for the cell.
Golgi apparatus
collects small molecules and combines them to make more complex molecules
Ribosomes
esponsible for protein synthesis. mRNA is translated into proteins by the ribosomes
Peroxisomes
break down fatty acids to be used for forming membranes and as fuel for respiration.
