Big To Small Flashcards
(30 cards)
Cell Wall
Keeps the shape of the cell.
In plants it is made of cellulose (sell - u - lowse)
In fungi it is made of chitin (ky - tin)
Cell Membrane
A semi permeable membrane around the cell that controls what comes in and out
Cytoplasm
Where all the chemical reactions take place
Nucleus
controls the cell, contains DNA - chromosomes + genes
Mitochondria
where respiration takes place
Vacuole
Cell sap store, energy store
Ribosomes
Create proteins
Chloroplasts
Where photosynthesis takes place (contains chlorophyll (klaw - ro - fill))
Similarities between a plant and animal cell
Cytoplasm
Nucleus
Cell membrane
Mitochondria
Ribosomes
Differences between a plant and animal cell
Plants have:
Chloroplasts
Cell wall
Vacuole
Chemical elements in carbohydrates
CHO
Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen
Chemical elements in protein
CHON
Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen
Chemical elements in Lipids
CHO
Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen
Structure of proteins
Amino Acids
Structure of lipids
Glycerol and 3 fatty acids
Starch and glycogen are…..
Simple sugars
Test for Glucose
Add Benedict’s solution
Place in 80 degree hot water bath for 5 minutes
Blue -> Red
Test for protein
Add buiret solution
Shake
Blue -> Purple
Test for lipids(fats)
Add water (shake), add ethanol (shake)
Turns milky white
Test for starch
Add iodine to sample on a spotting tile
Orange -> blue/black
DNA Shape
Double helix, linked by pair base = A -T and C - G
What is a biological catalyst
A substance that speeds up a reaction (Enzymes)
How to enzymes work
Enzyme and substrate collide
Substrate binds to the enzymes active site
Reaction happens (Enzyme - substrate complex)
Products go away
How does a lower temperature effect the enzyme rate of reaction
Lower temperature = enzymes have low kinetic energy + move slowly
Less enzyme/substrate collisions
