a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms

New cards
12

qualitative data

gathers information that is not in numerical form quant

New cards
13

quantitative data

information that can be measured and written down with numbers

New cards
14

what are the 3 parts of cell theory?

  1. all living organisms are composed of one or more cells

  2. cells are the basic unit of life

  3. cells arise from pre-existing cells

New cards
15

cell membrane

protect the cell from its surroundings; made of phospholipid bilayer and contains channels(made of protein) that help move substances across the membrane

New cards
16

diffusion

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

New cards
17

hypertonic environment

a solution where the concentration of solutes is greater than inside the cell, and water is less concentrated than the inside of the cell

New cards
18

hypotonic environment

a solution where the concentration of solutes is less than inside the cell, and water is more concentrated than the inside of the cell

New cards
19

isotonic environment

a solution where the concentration of solutes is the same as the inside of the cell, and water is equally concentrated inside and outside of the cell

New cards
20

osmosis

the diffusion of water when solutes are unable to pass through a semipermeable membrane

New cards
21

active transport

the movement of ions or molecules across a cell membrane from a region of low concentration to a region of already high concentration, assisted by enzymes and requiring energy

New cards
22

how does a sodium-potassium pump work?

sodium-potassium pump exchanges 3 Na+ ions for 2k+ ions against their concentration gradients by using one ATP for energy

New cards
23

endocytosis

a form of bulk active transport, in which the cell surrounds an object using its cell membrane and engulfs it so it can consume it to obtain nourishment/fight infection

New cards
24

phagocytosis

“eating” larger particles

New cards
25

pinocytosis

“drinking” smaller particles

New cards
26

photosynthesis formula

6H2O+6CO2+energy-->C6H12O6+6O2

  • electron transport chain(34 ATP)

New cards
33

in photosynthesis, what are the light-dependent reactions for?

light energy strikes chlorophyll and splits H2O to release O2 to generate ATP

New cards
34

in photosynthesis, what are the light-independent reactions for?

uses ATP from photosynthesis to synthesize C6H12O6 from CO2

New cards
35

exocytosis

a process where the contents of a cell vacuole are released to the exterior through fusion of the vacuole membrane within the cell membrane

New cards
36

what are the special properties of water?

high polarity, adhesion, cohesion, lower density as a solid, high specific heat, capillary action

New cards
37

monomers

small molecules that can join together in a repeating pattern to form complex molecules(polymers)

New cards
38

catalyst

substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction by lowering the activation energy

New cards
39

enzyme

a substance which acts as a catalyst to bring on a chemical reaction

New cards
40

denaturation

when the structure of a protein changes in result of excessive acid or temperature; can be temporary or permanent

New cards
41

golgi apparatus

factory where proteins from ER are further processed and sorted for transport to their destinations

New cards
42

lysosomes

rid cells of waste products

New cards
43

mitochondria

generates most of the chemical energy needed to power the cell’s biochemical reactions

New cards
44
