Biology 1 Flashcards
(44 cards)
Hypertonic
the concentration solution is higher than then inside the cell
Hypotonic
the concentration of solution is lower than that inside the cell
Isotonic
the concentration of solution is the same as that inside the cell
Osmosis
Osmosis is the diffusion high concentration of water to a low concentration of water
flaccid
Lacking in stiffness or strength. Soft and floppy
Turgid
enlarged and swollen with water
Plasmolyed
a plant cell losing water therefore shrinking its cytoplasm and plasma membrane away from the inside of its cell wall
Passive transport
relies on the natural kinetic energy of molecules and diffusion gradient
Active transport
Is the movement of substances from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration PROCESS NEEDS ENERGY
MRS GREN
Movement
Respiration
Sensitivity
Growth
Reproduction
Excretion
Nutrients
Mrs GREN M
Movement: to find food, mates and new areas to occupy
Mrs GREN R1
Respiration: to release energy from food so the cell can do work.
Mrs GREN S
Sensitivity: to respond to changes in the environment to increase the chance of survival.
Mrs GREN G
Growth: an increase in size or number of cells so the organisms get bigger.
Mrs GREN R2
Reproduction: so the species survives and does not go exstinct.
Mrs GREN E
Excretion: removing toxic waste from chemical reactions in cells (metabolism)
Mrs GREN N
Nutrients: a source of chemical energy for respiration so the cell can function and carry out work.
Respiration
organisms exchange gases with the environment
Glucose
Glucose is the main type of sugar in the blood and is the major source of energy for the body’s cells
Cell organelles
a subcellular structure that has one or more specific jobs to perform in the cell
Eukaryote cells
any cell or organism that possesses a clearly defined nucleus
Prokaryote cells
any organism that lacks a distinct nucleus and other organelles due to the absence of internal membranes.
Bacterial cells
prokaryotes, lacking membrane-bound organelles
Yeast cells
single-celled fungi
