Mr. Mateki first test Flashcards
(108 cards)
What is different about the organelles of prokaryotes?
They have no mitochondria, no nucleus, and small ribosomes.
What is different about the DNA of prokaryotes.
Their DNA does not have chromosomes, it is circular.
What is the major difference between prokaryotes and eukaryotes?
Prokaryotes are single-celled organisms, while Eukaryotes are multicellular.
Heterotroph
types of organisms that obtain energy from the food they consume.
Autogtrouph
organisms that are able to produce their own food
Rough ER
internal membrane system where proteins are synthesized.
Smooth ER
internal membrane system where lipids are synthesized, drugs are detoxified, and carbohydrates are synthesized.
Golgi apparatus
modifies, sorts, and packages proteins.
Nucleus
Where DNA is stored.
Cell membrane
outermost boundary of most cells. Regulates passage of materials into and out of the cell.
Nucleolus
where the assembly of ribosomes begins
Vacuoles
store materials like water, salts, proteins, and carbohydrates.
Mitochondria
convert the chemical energy stored in food molecules into compounds that are more convenient for the cell to use.
Cytoplasm
jelly-like fluid outside of nucleus but inside the CM. Organelles are found here.
Chloroplast
capture energy from sunlight and convert it into chemical energy stored in food during photosynthesis. Only in plant cells
What are the 7 conditions for life
- Energy
- Water
- Organic (carbon)
- DNA
- Reproduction
- Growth
- Death
Cation
is positive
anion
is negative
Solvent
the thing that does the dissolving
Solute
the thing that gets dissolved
What has to happen for salt to get dissolved in water?
For salt to dissolve in water it has to ionize
Dissolve
when the solute mixes with the solvent to get a solution
Diffusion
when molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration
Osmosis
the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane
