AB
What is an atom?Smallest unit of matter
How do atoms combine?Ionically or covalently
What is organic materialAny matter that contains carbon
What are the 4 organic compounds that make up life?carbohydrates,lipids,proteins,nucleic acids
What is an enzyme?Certain protein that speeds up chemical reations
What is diffusion?movement of molecules from high to low concentration
What is osmosis?diffusion of water
Describe equilibriumstate of balance/even thru space
Active transport envolves what?Energy from cells
Passive transport is what?movement of molecules envolving no energy
What do plant cells use for food?6 carbon dioxides and 6 waters
What waste products do plants have?glucose and 6 oxygen molecules
What material is needed inorder for photosynthesis to occur?light, enzymes, and chlorophyll
What is an easy way to remember cellular repiration?Opposite of photosynthesis
What happens in fermentation?cellular respiration that converts energy from glucose/not oxygen
What material can be found within an element?protons, neutrons, and electrons
What is the charge of an electron?negative charge
What is the charge of a proton?positive charge
What is the charge of a neutron?neutral charge
What substance is used to test for protein?nitric acid
What material is used to test for the presents of carbohydrates?iodine solution
Sodium bicarbonate did what to the process of photosynthesis?Increased the rate/because it increased the amount of carbon dioxide in the water
What does selective permeablility mean?Cell membrane allows some material thru and not others
Carbohydrates are used primarly as a source of what?Energy by the cells
If lipids (fats) are not burned off as energy, they will do what?Store as fat within your body
Chlorophyll is needed for what?Plants need it for photosynthesis
Active transport moves from where to where?from low to high concentrations
Passive transport moves from where to where?from high to low concentrations
How many molecules of glucose are given off during photosynthesis?one molecule
How many molecules of carbon dioxide are need for photosynthesis to take place?6 molecules
How could you speed up the process of photosynthesis?Increase the amount of sunlight, increase the amount of water available, or add more carbon dioxide to the plant
Producers use light energy to make what organic substance?Glucose
Proteins have what special element in their composition?Nitrogen
How do all consumers obtain energy?Thru the process of cellular respiration
What process causes bread to rise?Fermenation/yeast breaks down the glucose and carbon dioxide is released
What can be found within an atom's nucleus?protons and neutrons
