6. Monomers and Polymers
7. pH Hydrogen ion concentration
Liquid may be acid,
base or neutral
7 is neutral
Below 7 is acidic
Above 7 is basic
Logarithmic
Buffers in cells
8. Enzymes Catalysts
Made of Protein
May have non-protein parts
Lower Activation Energy
Not changed during reaction
Enzyme-substrate complex
Inhibition Competitive and noncompetitive
9. Plant Cell Special Features Cell wall protection and support
Chloroplast - for photosynthesis
Large central vacuole-
for storage and increase surface area
10. Animal Cell
11. Nucleus
Nuclear envelope double membrane
chromatin DNA
RNA
nucleolus Ribosome sub-units
12. Prokaryotic vs. Eukaryotic Prokaryotic single cell with nuclear material but no nuclear membrane or membrane bound organelles
Eukaryotic most cells with organized nucleus and membrane bound organelles
13. Photosynthesis Photosynthesis Trapping of sunlight energy followed by its conversion to chemical energy (ATP, NADPH, or both) and then synthesis into sugar phosphates which convert into sucrose, cellulose, starch, and other end products. It is the main pathway by which energy and carbon enter the food webs.
14. Cell Respiration Cellular Respiration - Organic substances are broken down to simpler products with the release of energy which is incorporated into special energy-carrying molecules (ATP) and is eventually used for metabolic processes. All cells carry on some form of cellular respiration. Most plants and animals require oxygen.
NOTE: The amount of NET ATP production varies from cell to cell.
15. Fermentation Products and their Uses Carbon dioxide bread making
Alcohol wine making and brewing
Lactic Acid lactic acid bacteria ferment milk into products as yogurt
16. Cell Membrane
17. Osmosis
18. Animal Cells in different solutions
19. Plant Cells Turgor Pressureand Plasmolysis
20. Passive Transport no energy used
21. Active Transport uses energy
22. Endocytosis and Exocytosis
23. Importance of ATP Energy storage chemical for cell processes
Most of ATP is produced via electron transport chain
Main reason that cells need oxygen: to allow them to make lots of ATP
Involved in both photosynthesis and respiration
24. Structure of Viruses Non-cellular infectious agent
Composed of DNA or RNA and a protein coat
Replicates only after its genetic material enters a host cell
Subverts the hosts metabolic machinery
25. Cell Cycle G1 Phase high rate of biosynthesis and growth
S Phase DNA content doubles and chromosomes replicate
G2 Phase - final preparations for Mitosis
M Phase Mitosis and Cytokinesis
26. Mitosis Prophase chromatid pairs coil up, spindle forms, nuclear membrane dissolves, chromatid pairs attach to spindle fibers (microtubules)
Metaphase chromatid pairs move to the equator, chromatid pairs align at the equator
Anaphase chromatids separate into individual chromosomes, chromosomes are pulled apart toward the equator by the spindle fibers (microtubules)
Telophase - chromosomes uncoil, spindle dissolves, nuclear membrane reforms
Cytokinesis division of the cytoplasm to make two new cells
27. Chromosome Structure
28. Fermentation products and uses Lactic Acid Fermentation
yogurt, cheese, sauerkraut, and pickles
muscle cells can also use fermentation for a quick burst of energy
Alcoholic Fermentation
Beverage Industry
Bread dough
