24
Q

enzyme, substrate, product

A

protein that catalyzes reactions, substance that enzyme acts on, result of enzyme + substrate

25
active site
spot on enzyme where substrate binds to
26
activation energy
energy required to start a reaction
27
enzyme ____ activation energy,
decreases
28
exergonic reaction
spontaneous; products are lower energy; releases energy
29
endergonic reaction
not spontaneous; products are higher energy; requires energy
30
enzyme denaturation
shape of enzyme is changed by change in pH or temp; causes the reaction rate to slow or stop
31
point of saturation
when all enzymes are taken by substrate
32
buffer
an aqueous solution who's pH does not change when a base or acid is added
33
cell theory
all organisms are made of 1+ cells, all cells come from other cells, the cell is the basic unit of life
34
prokaryotic organisms can be _____
bacteria and archaea
35
eukaryotic organisms can be _____
plants, animals, fungi, protists
36
prokaryotes are ____ while eukaryotes are ____
unicellular, multicellular
37
prokaryotes and eukaryotes both have ____ in their cells
ribosomes, DNA, cytoplasm, membrane
38
plant, prokaryotic, and fungal cells have a ____
cell
39
explain how prokaryotes and eukaryotes have different cells
eukaryotes are larger, more complex, have a nucleus, and have membrane-bound organelles
40
animal cells have ___ while plant cells do not
centriole, lysosome
41
recite the function of: the ribosome, rough er, nucleus, nucleolus, Golgi apparatus, vacuole, smooth er, lysosome, centrosome, cytoskeleton, cytoplasm, mitochondria, nuclear membrane, vesicle, chloroplast, plant vacuole, cell wall, plastid, plasmid, capsule, nucleoid, flagellum, cilia, pilus
k
42
plant cells have ____ while animal cells do not
plastid, chloroplast, cell wall
43
recite the function and general information of: glycoprotein, glycolipid, peripheral membrane protein, integral membrane protein, cholesterol, channel protein,
k
44
what does a semipermeable membrane do
it lets only certain things pass through it
45
____ can easily pass through the semipermeable membrane
small nonpolar molecules
46
solute, solution, solvent
dissolved particles, solvent + solute, liquid that solute dissolves in
47
concentration, tonicity
the relative abundance of something in a certain volume, the measure of the strength of a solute concentration in a solution
48
where does solvent go in osmosis, where does solute go in diffusion
high to low concentration, low to high concentration
49
passive transport, active transport
movement across the membrane with the concentration gradient and doesn't require energy, movement across the membrane against the concentration gradient that does require energy
50
2 types of passive transport
diffusion, facilitated diffusion
51
isotonic, hypertonic, hypotonic
same concentration, more concentration, less concentration
52
cell specialization, regeneration, stem cells, satellite cell
differentiation of cell shape, structure, and function to suit different bodily needs, replacing damaged or lost cells with new ones, an undifferentiated cell, a stem cell responsible for regeneration of muscle
53
why would a stem cell turn into a differentiated cell
turning off and on certain segments of DNA
54
an adult stem cell can become ____ things than a child stem cell
less
55
chromatin, chromosome, chromatid, centromere
unwound DNA, condensed form of DNA, half of a duplicated chromosome, where a duplicated chromosomes meet
56
stages of interphase
G1 (cell grows), S (DNA is replicated), G2 (cell grows and organelles are copied)
57
prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, cytokinesis
prophase: chromatin condenses to chromosome, nucleus goes away, spindle apparatus forms metaphase: chromosomes line up at middle of cell anaphase: sister chromosomes separate to opposite sides of the cell telophase: a new nuclear membrane forms around the chromosomes cytokinesis: cell cytoplasm splits into 2 new cells
