New cards
2

eukaryote cells

cells with a nucleus and more organelles (complex version)

New cards

13

photosynthesis

the process of converting sun energy into glucose

New cards
14

chloroplast

where does photosynthesis occur?

New cards
15

carbon dioxide + water = glucose + oxygen

equation for photosynthesis (just names)

converting glucose into ATP energy molecules

New cards
18

glycolysis

krebs cycle

electron transport chain

three steps of cellular respiration

New cards
19

New cards
20

osmosis

a type of passive transport using water

New cards
21

isotonic

osmosis but make it equal on both sides

New cards
22

hypertonic

osmosis but outside of the cell has more solute

New cards
23

hypotonic

osmosis but outside of the cell has less solute

New cards
24

Active transport

transport requiring ATP and the particles are forced

New cards
25

low to high

Active Transport moves (___ to ___)

New cards
26

endocytosis

snatch a particle with pinching the glove and pulling it into the cell

New cards
27

exocytosis

active transport but pushing a wrapped particle out

New cards
28

passive transport

transport that does not need energy and is natural

New cards
29

high to low

passive transport move…..

New cards
30

facilitated

getting help from carriers in passive transport moves through open thing

New cards
31

diffusion

plain simple basic passive transport (high to low particles through cell membrane)

New cards
32

4

carbon makes how many covalent bonds

New cards
33

solvent

cohesion/adhesion

high heat capacity

codominance

a form of dominance where both phenotypes are expressed ( example a black x white cat has black and white spots )

New cards
57

incomplete dominance

form of dominance when neither is truly dominants so both mix and for a hybrid
