What property of water provides the cooling effect of sweating?
High heat vaporization
Suppose that an oxygen atom formed a chemical bond with another oxygen atom.
What would the product of this reaction be called
molecule
Monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides are all
___________.
carbohydrates
Why are buffers important to humas?
They stabalize the ph balance
Enzymes are a type of protein, their function is to
provide energy
The simple unit in proteins is
Amino acids
Acid releases
hydrogen ions when placed in water
H+ can damage cell structures
Bases absorb hydrogen ions and release H+
hydroxide ions OH-
pH 0-14 with 0 being the most ...
acidic
0 - acidic
14 - basic
based on a log scale .... pH 6 is .000001 H+ or 1.0x10-6
3 macromolecules are
carbs
lipids and
proteins
Phospholipids have
2 fatty acid chains and phosophate (polar)
Hydrophobic tails (2)
Hydrophillic head
Form a phospholipid bulayer (form sphere because tails fear water)
DNA - ATGC
4 bases
Adenine Thymine
Guanine Cystosine
double stranded genetic material
What is ATP
Its cellular energy. Breaks bonds and releases energy
Why are cells the smallest unit of life?
Bcz of their surface area/volume ratio
diffusion really slows process
What is the function of the plasma membrane?
To regulate what gets in and out (bouncer of club) of cell
-Selectively Permeable
-
Cell Communication "hey how you doin"
-Cell recognition "do you belong?"
The _______ is surrounded by a double membrane with pores and contain genetic
material.
nucelus
As the surface area of a cell increases the volume ___
increases at a FASTER rate
The three processes when taken together that are called cellular respiration are
___________.
glycolysis, citric acid cycle, and the electron transport chain
Exocytosis and endocytosis are accomplished by the _______.
plasma membrane
The process whereby small molecules pass through a membrane by
moving from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration is
called ___________.
diffusion
Whats found in a eukaryotic cell but not a prokaryotic cell?
nuclear membrane
Anaerobic respiration requires ___________.
glucose
Simple diffusion is movement from ___ concentration to ____ concentration
HIGH concentration to LOW concentration
(internal) inherent energy
Facilliated diffusion is protein needed to move from high to low concentration using a ....
transport protein (no eneregy needed)
TONICITY
Same concentration - same amount is
isotonic solution
HYPOTONIC Solution is
less amount of stuff than H20
HYPERTONIC solution
more stuff 98/2 90/10
Active Transport (opposite of diffusion)
Moves from LOW to HIGH (against the concentration gradient)
