Q

why must cells be small

A

because the surface area to volume ratio gets smaller as the cell gets larger and the surface area to volume ratio must be large so that the exchange of nutrients and waste is faster and easier

Q

equilibrium

A

balance of concentration across two areas

157
Q

solution

A

the mixture created after a substance dissolves in another substance

158
Q

solvent

A

the substance that another substance can dissolve in

159
Q

unsaturated fat

A

1 hydrogen per carbon molecule, generally liquid

160
Q

saturated fat

A

>1 hydrogen per carbon molecule, generally solid

161
Q

hydrolysis

A

add water to break a bond

162
Q

dehydration synthesis

A

extract water to create a bond

163
Q

homeostasis

A

an organism’s attempt to maintain internal conditions despite external changes

164
Q

reproduction

A

all living things reproduce

168
Q

10% rule

A

you only receive 10% of the energy from the food you eat

169
Q

decomposers

A

bacteria/fungi that break down the waste and dead bodies of autotrophs/heterotrophs in order to extract energy

170
Q

symbiosis

A

a close relationship between organisms

171
Q

Parasitism

A

(symbiotic relationship) one organism harms the other (to help itself)

173
Q

Mutualism

A

(symbiotic relationship) both organisms benefit

175
Q

Commensalism

A

(symbiotic relationship) one organism beenfits, the other is neither harmed nor helped

176
Q

Enzyme Properties

A

have specific shape (active site) for their specific function, lowers energy of activation, reusable because they don’t change after chemical reactions

177
Q

HIV

A

system affected: immune system

cells affected: T4 cells

opportunistic infections: since it affects your immune system you get other infections because your immune system is weak
