Cell Bio Test Flashcards
(29 cards)
Dependent variable
What data did you collect( the condition that results from the change in the dependent variable)
On the y axis
Control group
The part of the experiment that does not change
Experimental group
The test group
All the conditions are the same as in the control group except for one variable which is being tested
How many variables can you have in an experiment
Only 1
What are the levels of organization
Atom-molecule-cell-tissue-organ-organ system-organism-population-community-ecosystem-biosphere
How do we consider something living
- It’s made of cells
- Obtain/use energy
- Grow and develop
- Reproduce
- Respond to environment
What should all living things be able to do
Synthesize
Breakdown
Metabolism
Maintain homeostasis
Homeostasis
Equilibrium of an organisms internal environment that maintains conditions suitable for life
Ex sweating, shivering
What are the four types of biomolecules
Protein
Nucleic acid
Carbs
Lipids
What is cell specialization
When a group of cells work together by performing individual tasks for large organs and tissues
Ex. Blood cells carry nutrients/skin cells protect the interior of the body
What scientist contributed to the cell theory
Matthias schleden
Theodore Schwann
What are the three main things of the cell theory
All living things are composed of cells,
cells are the basic units of life,
cells come from existing cells
What is TEM
Transmission electron microscopy
A technique in which a beam of electrons is transmitted through an ultrathin specimen
Prokaryote
No nucleus
Eukaryote
Has a nucleus
What do you plant cells have that animal cells don’t
Chloroplast, cell wall, vacuole
Diffusion
Movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration
Osmosis
Diffusion of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane
Hypertonic solution
More solute in the water then in the cell
Hypotonic solution
More solutes in the cell then in the water
Isotonic solution
Same amount of solutes in and out of the cell
Active transport
Requires ATP=energy/ particles move low to high/ against the flow/ ex. membrane pumps/ endocytosis in by the vesicle/ Exocytosis out by the Vesicle (golgi apparatus)
Passive transport
Requires no energy
Particles move high to low
Towards equilibrium
Facilitated diffusion - towards equilibrium [must use protein channels(carrier proteins)] large molecules(glucose)
Diffusion - small molecules move through the lipid membrane/ perfume/ burning candle
Osmosis-water only/hypotonic cell gets water/hypertonic cell looses water/isotonic equal
Protein
Monimer= saceride
builds muscle
is in cell membrane
allows large molecules through
allows ions through makes enzymes
