How does water help to maintain homeostasis?
It helps the cell function
What does the cell wall do?
Protects the cell and provides the structure for the cell
What does a nucleus do?
Protects the dna
What is the function of carbohydrates?
used as main source of energy also for structural purposes
Give an example of a carbohydrate
glucose, fructose
Dna contains the coded instructions for making what important molecules?
proteins
What is a diploid cell?
A cell with two sets of genes
What does a ribosome do?
Produces proteins
How do enzymes influence chemical reactions in living systems?
They speed up chemical reactions.
What is the role of ATP?
to power a variety of cell activities
What are at least two factors that can regulate the rate of enzymatic activity?
a cataylst and an enzyme
What is the substance contained within the nucleus of the cell?
dna
Where does the majority of cellular respiration occur?
the mitochondria
Give an example of a nucleic acid
Ribonucleic acid and deoxyribonucleic acid
What is homeostasis?
It's where everything is working right
What is the monomer of carbs?
monosacharides
Which part of the cell plays the most central role in keeping homeostasis?
The cell membrane
what is the balanced equation of photosynethesis?
6CO2+6H2O-light-------> C6H12O6+6O2
What is it called when water moves out of the cell?
Hypertonic solution
What does the mitochondria do?
provides energy for cells
What is the monomer of proteins?
Amino acids
What is the monomer of nucleic acids
nucleotides
Explain the relationship between the terms "macromolecule", "monomer" and "polymer".
Macromolecules are formed when monomers join together to form polymers
What does a chloroplast do?
makes food from sunlight and stores carbs
What does a vacuole do?
Stores water, food, and waste
What is the function of nucleic acids?
Store and transmit heridatary or genetic info
What is the function of proteins?
reproduction and nutrition
What do the centrioles do?
control the spindle apparatus
What is it called when water stays equal inside and out of the cell?
isotonic solution
What is it called when water moves into the cell?
Hypotonic solution
What does a lysosome do?
breaks down bacteria
What does the nucleolus do?
Builds ribosomes
What does the golgi body do?
Produces, stores and transports proteins
Give an example of a lipid
fat,oil, wax
What is the monomer of lipids?
fatty acids and glycerol
How does this structure work to maintain this equilibrium within the cell?
It controls what eneters and leaves the cell so you can keep everything balanced
What are the 4 organic compounds?
Lipids, proteins, carbs and nucleic acids
Which of the groups of organic compounds serve as a promary source of energy?
Carbohydrates like breads
What is the process called when it uses coded instructions in the dna molecule to assemble proteins in a very specific way?
Dna transcription
What is the balanced equation for cellular respiration?
C6H12O6-----light---> 6CO2+6H20+ATP
What is a haploid cell?
A cell with a single set of genes
Give an example of a protein
hemoglobin, albumin
What does the endoplasmic reticulum do?
makes and modifys proteins
What are the two types of respiration that can occur without oxygen?
alcoholic fermantation, and lactic acid fermentation
What is the function of lipids?
energy storage, protection of organs, storage of vitamins and hormone production
How does the avalibility of water and temperature affect phtosynethesis?
If the tempeture and water are at optimal amounts then phtosynethesis will be the most effective
