What is respiration?
The release of energy from hydrocarbons
What is synthesis?
Putting things together
What are the characteristics of life?

What is an autotroph?
Self feeding, consumes inorganic materials
What is a heterotroph?
Consumes other organisms
Parthenogenesis
Females reproduce and lay eggs without fertilization
Domains
Bacteria, archea, eukarya
Diffusion
How molecules get into cells from high concentration to low concentration
Osmosis
The diffusion of a solvent across a semi-permeable membrane
crenation
cell shrinks in plants because water leaves
Turgid
liquid pushes against plants walls causing pressure
Lysis
Cell swells because too much water enters it
Hypertonic
More solute (salt)
Hypotonic
Less solute (salt)
3 aspects of collision theory
Increased temperature, increased concentration, and catalyst present
Oxidation
adding oxygen, removing hydrogen, or removing electron
Reduction
taking away oxygen, adding hydrogen, or adding electron
Isomers
chemicals with the same chemical composition but different structures
Functional groups
Alcohol group, carbonyl group, organic acid, ester, amino group, phosphate group, disulfide group,
