Cells Flashcards
(44 cards)
Hydrogen bond
Forms in water molecules between oxygen and hydrogen
Protein
Made up of amino acids and produced in the rough ER
Polymer
Is a large molecule formed from repeating subunits of smaller molecules (ex, Proteins - Amino Acids)
Dehydration synthesis
Forms polymers from monomers by removing water
Hydrolysis
Produces monomers from polymers by adding water
Short term energy Carbohydrates
Glucose
Long term energy carbohydrate
Glycogen
Monosaccharides
Single unit sugars (carbohydrate)
Polysaccharides
A carb with large amounts of monosaccharide molecules
DNA
Controls all cell activities stored inside the nucleus
RNA
Directs protein synthesis
ATP
Produced inside the mitochondria during the process of cellular respiration
Lipid
Hydrophobic used as insulation
Saturated fat
No double bonds between carbon
Unsaturated fat
Have one or more double bonds between carbons
Cell theory
All living organisms are made up of one or more cells
The cell is the basic unit of life
All cells come from pre-existing cells
Prokaryotes
No nucleus or membrane bound organelles
Eukaryotes
Has a nucleus and membrane bound organelles
Fluid mosaic pattern
Diagram of the cell membrane
Shows the protein and lipid particles
Diffusion
Molecules move high to concentration to low concentration until equally distributed
Osmosis
The movement of water through a selectively permeable membrane is osmosis. Requires no energy
Active transport
Moving from low to high concentration gradient
Endocytosis
Molecules moving from outside to inside the cell with the cell creating a vacuole
Phagocytosis
When molecules that are taken are huge
