Cards

Term
What are some guidelines for making a scientific table?
Definition
Label catorgories, clearly, correctly, include subject and variable
Term
Observation and an Inference? How do they differ.
Definition
Infomation precieved by the 5 senses very detailed, measurable and repeated. interpetation or explanation or explantion of observation
Term
What is a cell?
Definition
Basic, smallest unit of life.
Term
Chloroplast, ER,Golgi Bodies, Lysosomes, Mitochondria, Nucleus and Vacuoles
Definition
Converts lights energy to chemical energy; tansports material from ribosomes to golgi apparatus; modifies and packages and secretion to inside and out of the cell; breaks down wastes, food and old parts of the cell; converts chemical to energy from ATP for the cell; the brain; and fiuld full that stores water
Term
What is Selective permeability ?
Definition
allows only certian materials to go into and out of the cell
Term
What are the 2 different types of ports?
Definition
Passive- moves molecules across the cell membrane with out energy
Active- moves molecules across the cell membrane with energy
Term
Name 3 types of PASSIVE transport?
Definition
Diffusion, osmosis, facilated
Term
What is diffusion?
Definition
Molecules move from High concentration to Low concentration.
Term
What is equilibrium?
Definition
Blanaced concentration of molecules is same everywhere.
Term
What is osmosis?
Definition
Diffusion of water across cell membrane.
Term
What is hypertonic, isotonic and hypotonic solutions.
Definition
Hypertonic- H2O moves out of the cell shrinks
Isotonic- H2O moves into and out of the cell and stays normal size
Hypotonic- H2O moves into the cell and expands
Term
Different between endocytosis and exocytosis?
Definition
Endocytosis- cells surrounds and ingest material from ingest material from inside to outside of cells vescicles
Exocytosis- release large amounts of material to the outside of the cell using vescicles
Term
"Big 4" molecules made up of life.
Definition
Carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, nucleic acids
Term
6 elements make up life.
Definition
Phosphurus, sulfur, hydrogen, Nitrogen, carbon ( P.S. HONC)
Term
What does ATP stand for? What are the 3 parts of ATP?
Definition
Adenosintriphosphate, sunlight, chlorphyll and photosythesis
Term
How is energy released from ATP?
Definition
Stores energy is released when bond is broken.
Term
What is cellular respiration? What organelle does it take place and what is the equation?
Definition
The process by which mitrondria breaks down glucose and makes ATP;
Term
What is the total amount of ATP made from celluar,aerobic respiration?
Definition
2 ATP.
Term
What does the term" aerobic" mean? What does the "anaerobic" mean?
Definition
Air and no air needed.
Term
Which is more effective in the production of energy- aerobic cellular respiration or fermentation?
Definition
Fermentation.
Term
What is heredity?
Definition
Passing of trait from parents to offspring.
Term
What genotype and Phenotype?
Definition
Genetic make up of an organism. Physically apperance determined by the genotype.
Term
What are homologous and heterzygous? Give an example of each genotype?
Definition
Both alleles are alike (purebred) ex: cc,AA. Alleles are different (hybrid) ex: Aa, Cc
Term
What term describes 2 alleles affect the phenotype of an organism by blending together?
Definition
Incomplete dominance
Term
What term describes 2 alleles affect the phenotype of an organism by blending together?
Definition
Incomplete dominance
Term
2 alleles affect the genotype of unknown individual by crossing homozgous recessive individual.
Definition
Multiple alleles
Term
What trait determined by more than one pair of alleles or more than one gene?
Definition
Polygenetic
Term
What you call traits determined by 3 or more alleles?
Definition
Dihybrid (EX: blood types)
Term
What is nondisjunction? How are the gametes different at the end of meiosis if nondisjunction occurs?
Definition
Chromosomes do not seperate during meiosis; monosomy and trisomy.
Term
Name 2 types of chromosomal mutation? Describe them.
Definition
Inversion- Chrom. segments breaks when it reattaches in reverse order.
Translocation- chrom. piece breaks off and gets added to different chrom,
Term
What is Klinefelter's syndrome, Down Syndrome, colorblindness.
Definition
nondisjunction, 21st extra chrom. and carrier from mom and dad.
Term
What are 3 methods for genetic screening?
Definition
Blood test, aminio centesis, chronic villi sampling.
Term
What is the idenification and maniplulation/ transfer of genes from 1 organism to different organism called?
Definition
Genetic engineering.
