What are Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen?
What are the four basic life elements found in most organic compounds?
|
What is diffusion?
The movement of molecules from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration
|
|
What is an inorganic compound?
Compounds that sometimes contain carbon atoms, and no carbon-hydrogen bonds are called ________________________________________
|
What are receptor proteins?
These type of proteins provide communication between cells.
|
What are carbohydrates, Lipids, nucleic acids and proteins?
What are the main four basic life compounds associated with the carbon atom?
|
What is passive transport?
What is active transport?
A) Type of transport does not require energy
B) Type of transport does require energy |
|
What is a phospholipid?
This structure is composed of a bilayer of lipids, a glycerol (sugar-alcohol) and phosphate group...
|
What is an enzyme/catalyst?
Hormones, receptor molecules, and antibodies, have specific shapes that influence both how they function and how they interact with other molecules. These are all types of ________________________
|
Autotrophic nutrition is the process in which organisms use inorganic compounds to make their own food, whereras in heterotrophic nutrition, organisms obtain their food from others.
Autotrophic nutrition and heterotrophic nutrition are different because _____________________________________
|
What is isotonic solution?
Solution has the same concentration inside and outside the cell
|
|
What is homeostasis?
If an organism has an internal balance environment then it is said to be maintaining _________________________
|
What is ATP?
(Adenosine triphosphate)
This type of molecule contains a sugar group, a base and THREE phosphate groups. (Hint: When the 3rd phosphate group bond is broken, this a lot of energy is released)
|
Fat; they store energy more efficiently than carbohydrates.
Animals like the dormouse, can survive without a steady diet because of ________________ storage. Explain why this possible.
|
What is a hypotonic solution?
What is a hypertonic solution?
A) Solution has more particles inside the cell than outside and may cause a burst
B) Solution has less particles inside the cell than the outside and may cause dehydration and shrinkage |
|
What is Osmosis?
The simple diffusion (flow) of water
|
What is a monosaccharide?
Carbohydrates are broken down into basic smaller units called _______________________. (Hint: the opposite of polysaccharides)
|
What are simple (sugar) and complex (starch) carbohydrates? Sugars are tested with Benedict's Solution which must be heated, and starch with iodine solution.
What are the two types of carbohydrates? How can we test for each? Provide two examples of each carbohydrate.
|
Selective permeability is the process in which the membrane allows only certain materials to enter and exit the cell. This helps maintain homeostasis because unwanted materials that may cause damage to the cell, may not enter.
Define selective permeability and explain how it is important for maintaining homeostasis.
