24
Q

Anything that takes up space and has mass

25
substances that can't be chemically broken down; these are not alive, but sometimes combining them makes life
elements
26
smallest unit of an element that still retains the property of that element; have distinct chemical properties
Atom
27
dense core of an atom
nucleus
28
protons are _______
positive
29
electrons are ______
negative
30
Neutrons are ______
Neutral
31
the key component of the molecules of living organisms; can form multiple covalent bonds; can form in both organic and nonorganic molecules
carbon
32
3 most common elements in the human body
- oxygen 65% - carbon 18.5% - hydrogen 9.5%
33
atomic number
the # of protons
34
atomic mass
is the total # of protons and neutrons
35
all life we know of is_______
carbon based
36
Atoms are made up of ?
Positively charged protons negatively charged electrons neutral neutrons
37
Macromolecules are
large organic molecules composed of submits called monomers
38
molecules that have carbon and share electrons bound by covalent bonds
organic
39
molecules that are not covalently bound to other carbon or hydrogen atoms
Inorganic
40
monomers link together to form _____
polymer chains
41
four types of complex macromolecules that make up living things
1. Carbohydrates 2. Proteins 3. Lipids 4. Nucleic acids
42
made up of monosaccharides
carbohydrates
43
monosaccharide
a single molecule of sugar i.e. glucose
44
made up of amino acids
proteins
45
what do proteins do in your body?
they do work (energy) | also can be structural
46
made up of nucleotide monomers
nucleic acids
47
single celled eukaryotes
diatoms
48
prokaryotic cells
lack internal membrane bound organelles
49
eukaryotic cells
many organelles | has a nucleus
50
- prevents many large molecules like glucose and hydrophilic charged substances like sodium ions from crossing - allows small encouraged substances to cross via diffusion
cell membrane
51
natural tendency of dissolved substances to move from an area of higher concentration to one of lower concentration -no energy required
simple diffusion
52
large or hydrophilic molecules cross the membrane by assistance of
transport proteins
53
lower concentration to higher with the help of specific transport proteins and chemical energy to pump molecules against the gradient
active transport
54
higher concentration to lower without the input of energy and chemical energy to pump molecules against the grad
facilitated diffusion
55
sit in the membrane bilayer act as a channel carrier or pump - provide passageways - can move substances with or against concentration gradient
transport proteins
