-
-
Muilticellular
many celled with levels of organization
-
asexual
oppspring are genetic clones of parent
-
sexual
offspring have genetic vatiation from parent
-
Metabolism
- energy is required for life processes
- autotrophs make their own food
- heterotrohs eat other organisms for food
-
Homeostasis
Maintenance or regulation of body conditions suc as body temperature, blood sugar level, water balance
-
DNA-deoxyribonucleic acid
is the genetic material that codes for proteins of all organisms.
-
Response to stimiuli
responding to the biotic and abiotic factors in the environment are key to survival
-
growth
increase in the amount of living matter either by cell division or cell enlargement
-
development
any change from conception to death-embryonic, puberty, aging
-
adaptaions
structures, behaviors, or processes that aid in an organisms survival are passed on from parent to offspring
-
Carbohydrates
composed of momsaccharieds primarily glucose
-
Lipids
composed of amino acids-do most of the work in organisms and are major strutural components
-
Nucleic Acids
composed of nucleotides-either DNA or RNA
-
Metabolism
controlled by the action of enzymes
-
Enzymes
proteins that function to spped up chemical reations in the cell
-
Cell theory
- Cells are baic unit of life
- Cells come from existing cells
- All organisms are composed of cells
-
Prokaryotic
- simple
- has no nucleus
- has no MB organelles
- includes bacteria
-
Eukaryotic
- complex
- has a MB nucleus
- has MB organelles
- includes protists, fungi, plants, and animals
-
chloroplast
photosynthesis
-
mitochondria
cellular respiration......power house of the cell
-
ribosomes
protien synthesis (made)
-
-
nucleous
contains DNA and controls cell actions
-
nucleolus
site of ribosome formation
-
endoplasmic reticulum
protiens travel on
-
Golgi Apparatius
modifies and refines the protiens depending on where they are going
-
plant
- has cell wall
- has chloroplasts/plastids
- has large vacuole
-
animal
- no cell wall
- has no plastids/chloroplasts
- has small vacuoles
-
Plasma membrane
controls homeostasis (balance)
-
Plasma membrane structure
composed of a phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins "gates"
-
Plasma membrance function
acts as a selectively permeable boundary around the cell
-
diffusion
moves substances from high to low concentrations down their concentration gradient
-
Osmosis
the diffusion of water from high to lower water concentrations down to its concentration gradient
-
Facilitated diffusion
movement of a substance down its concentration through a transport protein channel
-
Active Transport
requires energy-moves substances against the concentration gradient from low to high concentrations
