Nucleic Acids Structure

A

Made up of nucleotides

25
Q

Nucleic Acid Monomer

A

Nucleotides

26
Q

Nucleic Acid Function

A

Carry genetic information

27
Q

Amino Acid

A

Building blocks of proteins (there are 20 types)

28
Q

RNA and DNA

A

Associated with Nucleic Acid

29
Q

Glucose and Glycogen

A

Associated with Carbohydrate

30
Q

Fatty acids
Glycerides
Phospholipids
Steroids

A

Associated with Lipids

31
Q

ATP

A

Associated with Nucleic Acid

32
Q

Structure of water

A

Two hydrogens and one oxygen

33
Q

Polarity

A

Polar: contains both charges. 2 positive hydrogen and 1 negative oxygen
Hydrogen bonds: Weak bond that forms between the hydrogen of one water molecule and the oxygen of another water molecule

34
Q

Universal Solvent

A

compounds dissolve in water well due to their ability to bind to either the negative or positive charged components of water

35
Q

PH

A

A small fraction of water molecules in solutions either make hydrogen ions (H+) or Hydroxide ions OH-)
Acid: a substance that when added to water increases its hydrogen ion concentration
Base: a substance that when added to water increases its Hydroxide ion concentration

36
Q

Plasma Membrane

A

Defines the outer shell of a cell.

37
Q

Cytoplasm

A

Inside the membrane and contains everything BUT the Nucleus.

38
Q

Cytoskeleton

A

Structure: A network of proteins that defines the shape of a cell.
FIbers: Microfilaments, Intermediate filaments, Microtubules
Function: Helps maintain the shape of the cell and its internal organization.

39
Q

Centrioles

A

Structure: Short cylinder made up of 9 triplets of microtubules.
Function: Help guide the movement and separation of chromosomes during cell division.

40
Q

Mitochondria

A

Structure: Tubular-shaped structure.
Function: Powerhouse of the cell and creates ATP.

41
Q

Golgi Apparatus

A

Structure: A set of membranous discs
Function: Packages and Sorts materials.

42
Q

Lysosomes

A

Structure: Sphere-Shaped sacs
Function: Degrades/digests materials.

43
Q

Ribosomes

A

Structure: Large and small subunits.
Function: Site of protein synthesis.

44
Q

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum(Rough ER)

A

Structure: Flattened like membrane sheets with ribosomes on them; which makes them rough.
Function: Transports, produces, folds, and, quality of controls of proteins.

45
Q

Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum(Smooth ER)

A

Structure: Tube-like.
Function: Transports lipids.

46
Q

Nucleus

A

Structure: Sphere-shaped
Function: Contains genetic information.

47
Q

Cell Membrane/Plasma Membrane

A

Role: Maintains homeostasis.
It acts as a barrier that keeps wanted things in and unwanted things out.
Structure: Made up of a phospholipid bilayer & contains proteins.

48
Q

Cell Transport

A

Movement of materials across cell membranes.

49
Q

Passive Transport

A

Does not require energy to move molecules from HIGH to LOW concentration.
(Diffusion, Facilitated diffusion, Osmosis)

50
Q

Simple Diffusion

A

Movement of small particles across the cell membrane. High to Low concentration.

51
Q

Facilitated Diffusion

A

Requires help from channel and carrier proteins to move particles from a HIGH to LOW concentration.

52
Q

Channel proteins

A

a tube-like protein that selectively diffuses particles.

53
Q

Carrier proteins

A

Changes shape when a particle binds to it.

54
Q

Osmosis

A

The movement of water through a permeable membrane from HIGH to LOW concentration.

55
Q

Active Transport

A

Requires energy to move molecules from LOW to HIGH concentration.
