New cards
Lipid
Fats that provide long term energy for the body. Lipids are important molecules that often make up membranes in the cell.
5
New cards
Protein
Proteins have many unique functions. Proteins repair and build body tissues, allow metabolic reactions to take place (enzymes), coordinate body functions such as waste removal, protect the body from pathogens (immune system).
6
New cards
Nucleic Acid
Nucleic Acids carry the genetic blueprint for the cell and carry instructions for the function of the cell. (DNA & RNA).
7
New cards
Inputs of Photosynthesis (Reactants)
Carbon Dioxide, Water, Light Energy
8
New cards
Outputs of Photosynthesis (Products)
Oxygen, Glucose
9
New cards
Inputs of Cellular Respiration (Reactants)
Glucose, Oxygen
10
New cards
Outputs of Cellular Respiration (Products)
Carbon Dioxide, Water, ATP
11
New cards
Mitochondria
The powerhouse of the cell. The mitochondria takes Oxygen and Glucose and turns it into ATP, or usable energy for the cell. (Plant and Animal).
12
New cards
Chloroplast
The organelle responsible for converting Carbon Dioxide, Water and Light energy into Glucose and Oxygen for the cell. (Plants only).
13
New cards
Cell Membrane
Primarily composed of Phospholipids. The cell membrane is a semi-permeable bilayer.
14
New cards
Osmosis
The diffusion of water across a semi-permeable membrane.
15
New cards
Facilitaed Diffusion
Diffusion that requires a helper protein. Allows large or charged molecules to cross the cell membrane (water, glucose).
16
New cards
Hypertonic Solution
Low solute concentration.
17
New cards
Hypotonic Solution
High solute concentration.
18
New cards
Isotonic Solution
Equal solute concentration in solution and in cell.
19
New cards
Cholesterol
Prevents the cell membrane from becoming too solid or too liquid.

New cards
Diffusion
Random movement of molecules from high concentration to low concentration (oxygen, carbon dioxide).
31
New cards
Passive Transport
Diffusion, Facilitated Diffusion, Osmosis. Requires no energy from the cell to complete.
32
New cards
Transport Proteins
Required during Facilitated Diffusion. Proteins span the cell membrane and allow large or charged molecules across the cell membrane. (Aquaporin, Ion Channel, Glycoproteins, Carrier Proteins).
33
New cards
Homeostasis
Cells must maintain stable internal conditions. All living cells have mechanisms that allow them to control the internal environment.
