Bio unit 2 Flashcards
(47 cards)
Diffusion
high to low conc
facilitated diffusion
high to low conc; proteins assist molecules too big to go thru membrane by themselves
Osmosis
low to high solute conc (to hypertonic)
- the water wants to DILLUTE the solute
hypertonic
higher solute conc
hypotonic
lower solute conc.
isotonic
equal conc of solute anad water
plasmolysis
cell water loss = shriveled cell
when does plasmoylsis happen?
cell placed in hypertonic environment
phagocytosis
cell eating (unspecific)
pinocytosis
cell drinking (unspecific)
receptor-mediated
binding of external molecules to specific receptor proteins in membrane (specific)
dialysis membrane
semi-permeable film
enzyme
a type of recyclable protein that catalyzes chemical reactions
activation energy
amount of energy needed to stimulate reactants for a reaction
factors that affect enzyme activity
temperature, pH, specificity, concentration
Mitosis chromosome number…
one diploid cell ——> 2 genetically identical diploid cell
How do animal cells perform cytokinesis?
cleavage furrow
How do plant cells perform cytokinseis?
cell plate
Monomer of carbs
monosaccharide
monomer of lipids
glycerol and fatty acids
what are fats made of?
triglycerides
unsaturated fats
less hydrogen than max
saturated fats
max amount of hydrogen
Protein monomer
amino acids
