A | B |
What are the types of solutions? | Isotonic, Hypertonic, Hypotonic |
Isotonic Solution | Tonicity is the same inside and outside the cell. |
Hypertonic Solution | More stuff outside the cell than in (less water). |
Hypotonic Solution | Less stuff outside the cell than in (more water). |
Cell may explode or "pop" | Hypotonic Solution |
Cell crenates or undergoes plasmolysis | Hypertonic Solution |
The cell maintains turgor pressure | Isotonic solution |
Turgor pressure | Pressure the cytoplasm exerts on the cell membrane. |
Plasmolysis | Cell loosing fluid. Flowers wilt. |
Meiosis | Gametes are made. Unique |
Gametes | Sex cells, egg and sperm |
Mitosis | Somatic cells are made. Identicle |
Somatic cells | Body cells |
Chromosomes | Tightly wound supercoiled DNA |
Histones | DNA wraps around these to supercoil |
Two chromatids can form or 1/2 of the chromosome alone | Chromosome |
Centromere | Hold chromosomes together |
Chromatid | Single tightly wound DNA 1/2 of chromosome |
Homologous Chromosome | Same type of chromosome with the same type of gene in the same order. |
What binds the nucleotides together? | hydrogen bonds |
Adenine = Thymine as | Cytosine ... Guinine |
Genes code for... | Proteins |
Genes give you your... | chracteristics |
Dna is broken into segements called | genes |
Cell with more than one nucleus | Muscle Cell |
Cell with no nucleus | Blood Cell |
Cell with a giant Vacuole | Fat cell, Adipose Tissue |
Organ with alot of Rough ER and Golgi Bodies | Pancreas |
Cells with alot of Smooth ER and Mitochondria | Liver |
Found in high amounts in muscle cells | Mitochondria |
Lysosomes | White blood cells |
Used to break down the cell waste product hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) | Peroxisomes, found in high amounts in liver and kidneys. |
