The Science of Life Biochemistry Cell Structure and Function Homeostasis & Transport Chemistry of Life
The study of life
BIOLOGY
These are instructions for traits that can be passed from one generation to the next
GENES
The maintenance of a stable, balanced environment inside of a cell and/or whole organism
HOMEOSTASIS
If a microscope has an ocular lens (eye piece) that magnifies 10X and an objective lens that magnifies 40X, what is the total magnification?
400X (10 x 40)
The smallest units of life that can carry out all of the functions of living things
CELL
A substance made of only one type of atom
ELEMENT
These atomic particles are found outside of the nucleus in various energy levels
ELECTRONS
Electrons are shared in this type of bond
COVALENT
Anything below 7 on the pH scale
ACIDS
These are biological catalysts that speed up reaction rates inside of cells
ENZYMES
All organic compounds must contain this element
CARBON
Sugars such as cellulose, sucrose, glucose, galactose, and lactose are all examples of what macromolecule family?
CARBOHYDRATES
DNA and RNA are examples of what macromolecule family?
NUCLEIC ACIDS
You store your excess glucose in molecules of glycogen, while plants store their excess glucose in this molecule.
STARCH
Monosaccharides are the monomers of carbohydrates, while amino acids are monomers of this macromolecule family.
PROTEINS
While looking at dead plant cells (cork), this man discovered cells
HOOKE
A bacterium, which is a cell with no nucleus, is an example of this type of cell
PROKARYOTE
A structure inside of a cell that carries out a specific function
ORGANELLE
All cells must have three things: 1) Cell membrane 2) Cytoplasm 3) ?
GENETIC INFORMATION (DNA)
This cell part plays the role of an “intracellular highway” moving molecules from one place to another
ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM
The movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane down its concentration gradient
OSMOSIS
Passive transport moves molecules down their concentration gradient until equilibrium is reached. The three types of passive transport are: 1) Diffusion 2) Osmosis 3) ?
FACILITATED DIFFUSION
You place a cell into a solution and it shrinks bc it lost water. What kind of solution did you put it in to?
HYPERTONIC
Type of active transport that moves large molecules or materials into a cell
ENDOCYTOSIS
Salt crystals dissolving in water is an example of this type of passive transport
DIFFUSION
