3 part to nucleotides

A
  1. 5 carbon sugar- either ribose or deoxyribose
  2. phosphate group
  3. nitrogen containing base
23
Q

4 nucleotides that make-up human DNA

A
  1. adenine
  2. thymine
  3. guanine
  4. cytosine
24
Q

cell theory

A
  1. all organisms are composed of 1 or more cells
  2. cell is smallest unit of life
  3. cells grow and divide continuously and give rise to other cells
25
crust, mantle, core
plasma membrane cytoplasm nucleus
26
plasma membrane
2 layered, primarily phospholipids with proteins | keeps interior of cell separate
27
nucleus
contains cell's DNA keeps it separate from cytoplasm directs most cellular activities
28
cytoplasm
contains organelles, site of most cell activity
29
rough endoplasmic reticulum
assemble amino acids to make proteins- protein synthesis
30
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
modification of newly formed proteins lipid synthesis detoxification of alcohol, drugs
31
golgi bodies
final modification of proteins and lipids, packaged for use
32
vesicles
have many functions including storing molecules. | transport protein and lipid molecules
33
lysosomes
digesting and recycling cell's waste products
34
mitochondria
energy from respiration converted to ATP | has own DNA
35
cytoskeleton
structural reinforcement interconnected system of protein fibers between nucleus and cell membrane gives shape and support to cell
36
central vacuole
stores amino acids, sugars, toxic wastes
37
cell walls
protects cell membrane, provides strength, reduces water loss
38
chloroplast
capture energy from sunlight during photosynthesis
39
metabolism
cell's capacity to acquire energy and use this energy to build, break apart, store and release substances
40
energy
capacity to make things happen; to do work
41
ATP
adenosine triphosphate | usable source of energy to body
42
equilibrium
when system is in balance
43
entropy
measure of degree of system's disorder
44
1st law of Thermodynamics
total amount of energy in Universe is constant | more energy cannot be destroyed, can only converted from 1 form to another
45
2nd law of Thermodynamics
no energy conversion is 100% efficient | at each trophic level, only 1-2% obtained
46
diffusion
movement from more concentrated area to less concentrated area
47
tonicity
relative concentration of 2 solutions
48
isotonic
concentration of 2 solutions is same
49
osmosis
movement of molecules from less concentrated area of solution to more concentrated area of solution through semi-permeable membrane
50
plasmolysis
not able to retain (loses water)
51
aerobic
with oxygen
52
anaerobic
without oxygen
53
aerobic respiration
36 ATP molecules are formed
54
anaerobic respiration
2 ATP molecules are formed
