List the 3 parts of Cell Theory
* All living organisms are composed of one or more cells. * A cell is the basic structural and functional unit of living organisms. * All cells arise from pre-existing cells.

synthesizes lipids, phospholipids as in plasma membranes, and steroids.
15

Nucleus
Stores the cells DNA
16

17

What cell parts do plants have that animal cells don’t?
**Plant cells have a cell wall, chloroplasts, plasmodesmata, and plastids used for storage, and a large central vacuole, whereas animal cells do not.**
18
New cards
What’s the difference between a prokaryote and a eukaryote?
\ \ **✳️** In a prokaryotic cell,size of cell is generally small, nucleus is absent and DNA lies directly in the cytoplasm, one single chromosome is present, Membrane bounded cell organelles are absent, smaller and randomly scattered ribosome are present in the cytoplasm.
\ **✴️** Size of cell is generally large, A distinct nucleus is present which is surrounded by a nuclear membrane, Many chromosome are present, Membrane bounded cell organelles are present. Ribosomes are bigger and can be free or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum.

A student is doing an experiment to see which additives help water boil faster. The student measures the speed that plain water boils. Then measures a 5% solution of each of the following, vinegar, salt water, and sugar water. She then times how long it takes for all to boil. Identify the IV, DV, control, and 2 constants she would have to use.
IV: Type of solution
DV: How fast it takes to boil
Control: Plain water
Constants: Amount of water to solution ratio, temperature of stove (or whatever used to boil the solutions) is.

Describe the difference between a hypothesis and theory.
A hypothesis is an assumption made before any research has been done. It is formed so that it can be tested to see if it might be true. A theory is a principle formed to explain the things already shown in data.
22
New cards
Define homeostasis
the tendency toward a relatively stable __equilibrium__, especially as maintained by physiological processes.

LIst the steps of the scientific method.
* State problem in question form * Research Question * Hypothesis * Conduct experiment * Record/Analyze data * Conclusion * Report findings
25
New cards
What does it mean when I say a solution is hypertonic to a cell?
Its solute concentration is higher than that inside the cell, and the solutes cannot cross the membrane.
26
New cards
If a cell were in a hypertonic solution, what would happen to it?
The solution will cause the cell to shrink.
27
New cards
If a cell were in an isotonic solution, what would happen to it?
The cell’s volume will remain stable
28
New cards
There are 4 macromolecules (biomolecules) that we studied. What are they?
carbohydrates, lipids (or fats), proteins, and nucleic acids.
29
New cards
What is a monomer?
a __molecule__ that can be __bonded__ to other identical molecules to form a polymer.
30
New cards
What is the monomer for a carbohydrate? For a protein?
Monosaccharides, simple sugars like glucose and fructose.
\ Amino acids.
31
New cards
What are the 6 properties of water?
Cohesion, adhesion, capillary action, density, universal solvent, high specific heat, high heat vaporization.
32
New cards
Water will stick to the walls of glass test tubes. Why?
Since water molecules like to stick together, when the molecules touching the glass cling to it, other water molecules cling to the molecules touching the glass, forming the meniscus.
33
New cards
We say that water is because it has two oppositely charged sides.
Polar
34
New cards
What elements are found in carbohydrates? Proteins? LIpids? Nucleic Acids?
* Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen * Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, and Sulfur * Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen * Nitrogen, Oxygen, Carbon, Phosphorus, and Hydrogen
35
New cards
WHat do we call the process of changing one set of chemicals into another set of chemicals?
A chemical reaction
36

45

A cell membrane is a fluid mosaic. What does that mean?
The fluid mosaic model describes the cell membrane as a tapestry of several types of molecules (phospholipids, cholesterols, and proteins) that are constantly moving.

the net movement of anything generally from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower
49
New cards
Facilitated diffusion
the process of spontaneous passive transport of molecules or ions across a biological membrane via specific transmembrane integral proteins
50
New cards
Osmosis
molecules of a __solvent__ tend to pass through a __semipermeable__ membrane from a less concentrated solution into a more concentrated one, thus __equalizing__ the concentrations on each side of the membrane.

53
New cards
