Term
Structures found in the nucleus
Definition
nucleolus, chromatin
Term
ionic bonding
Definition
bond formed when one or more electrons are transferred from one atom to another
Term
What are the uses of radioactive isotopes?
Definition
They are used for tracers, to treat cancer, and to kill bacteria in foods
Term
What are the principles of the cell theory?
Definition
-All living things are composed of cells
-Cells are the basic units of structures and function
-New cells are produced fro already existing cells
Term
What organic compound is the main source of energy for all living things?
Definition
Carbohydrates
Term
What are the functions of proteins?
Definition
To control the rate of reactions and cell processes, to form bones and muscles, and to transport substances in and out of our cells
Term
What happens to atoms in chemical reactions?
Definition
In Chemical reactions atoms react with other atoms to make new compunds.
Term
Where does the Calvin cycle take place?
Definition
Chloroplast
Term
What makes up an ATP molecule and how is energy stored and released from it?
Definition
Adenine, 5 carbon sugar(ribose), Triphosphate, it is stored in the third phosphate and released with it as well
Term
Whya re water molecules an excellent example of polarity? What makes them polar?
Definition
A water molecule is polar because there is an uneven distribution of electrons between oxygen and hydrogen atoms.
Term
What regions of the visible spectrum is not absorbed well by chlorophyll?
Definition
Green
Term
Why Does diffusion occur?
Definition
Diffusion occurs to get the concentration of a solute to an equilibrium
Term
What are some of the goals of science?
Definition
the goal of science is to investigate and understand the natural world, to explain events in teh natural world, and to use explanations for predictions
Term
What is a nother name for light-independent reactions?
Definition
The Calvin Cycle
Term
Where do the light depndent reactions occur?
Definition
Inside the thylakoids
Term
How many subatomic particles do physicist account for?
Definition
Protons, Neutrons, electrons, valence electrons
Term
What do thylakoids contain?
Definition
proteins
Term
What is the most abundant compund in most living things?
Definition
H2O or water
Term
What are the products of light dependent reactions?
Definition
Oxygen Gas, ATP, and NADPH
Term
Where is the stroma and what occurs there?
Definition
The region outside the thylakoid membrane, the calvin cycle occurs there.
Term
Why does the inside of the thylakoid membranes become positively charged in the light dependent reactions?
Definition
It fills up with hydrogen ions make the outside negative and the inside positive
