Q

Cytoplasm

A
  • Jelly like,
  • helps hold the organelles in place
  • gives the cell structure
  • helps move proteins, chromosomes and other materials

Q

What is diffusion?

Study These Flashcards
A

The movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to low concentration

24
Q

What is osmosis?

Study These Flashcards
A

Movement of a solvent into a solution of higher concentration that equalizes the concentration on both sides

25
Endoplasmes reticulum?
Passageways where chemicals are made
26
What are Ribosomes?
Builds proteins that build new structures Repair damage Direct chemical reactions
27
Lysosomes?
Filled with enzymes that break up partially digested food
28
Mitochondria
Converts nutrients to energy
29
How does the mitochondria convert nutrients to energy?
Glucose and carbon hydrates made by plants during photosynthesis are Brocken down by the process of aerobic cellular respiration ATP is the energy- carrying molecule
30
Cellular respiration
Process of oxidizing food molecules to carbon dioxide and water
31
Chloroplast
Responsible for photosynthesis
32
Inputs
Sunlight Water Carbon dioxide
33
Outputs
Oxygen and glucose
34
Nucleus
Found in eukaryotic cells | Contains the majority of the cells genetic material
35
Mitosis
Simple duplication of a cell and it's parts Two identical copies from one original To grow and repair the body
36
Meiosis
Cell division that reduces the number of chromosomes | This process is required to produce egg and sperm cells for sexual reproduction
37
When do cells divide?
When the ration between the surface area and it's volume gets smaller
38
Anther
Part of the stamen where pollen is produced and stored
39
Pollen grains
Cases that contain male gametes
40
Filament
Long in stalk that supports the anther
41
Stigma
Sticky surface of the pistil that captures pollen grains
42
Style
Long thin stalk that supports the stigma
43
Ovary
Swollen base of the pistil that contains female gametes
44
Ovules
Female gametes
45
Pollination
Pollen grains are produced by anthers. They must land on the stigma of the pistil in order to fertilize the flower so that it can produce seeds
46
Self pollination
Occurs when pollen is transferred to the pistil of the same flower
47
Cross pollination
Pollen is carried to the pistil of a different flower. Wind, and insects are keys to cross pollination
48
Cellula Respiration
Transforms carbohydrates into energy in the mitochondria then a chemical reaction causes the oxygen to release the energy present in the carbon hydrate
49
Inputs of cellular respiration
Oxygen and carbohydrates
50
Outputs of cellular respiration
Carbon dioxide water and energy
51
Taxonomy
The science that classifies all living things according to characteristics they have in common
52
Plants
Characterized by the fact that they all make their own food from sunshine water and carbon dioxide by means of chlorophyl they don't move on their own Ex: mosses, ferns, conifers and flowering plants
53
Animals
Either eat plans for the eat other animals. They can move on their own. This kingdom is divided into vertebrates and invertebrate
54
Fungi
They neither make or eat their own food, they absorb it. Almost all of a mushrooms body is underground, Made up of tiny string cells called hyphae. Hyphae grow until they run into something that song is thinks is tasty. It'll be storms nutrients directly into its own cells Ex: mushroom
55
Bacteria
Bacteria is everywhere but you can't see them because they're so small. Bacteria is different because it's made up of just one cell and there is no nucleus
56
Protist
Living things that do not belong in the other categories. Period some capture the food someone get food from sun and some do both
57
Archaebacteria
Maany have a strikingly different genetic make up from other living things. It's able to survive in extreme environments deep-sea trenches and Hot Springs
