1. Chemical bonds:
Hydrogen Bond,
Ionic Bond, Cova-
lent, Polar Cova-
lent

2. Hydrogen Bond: a weak bond between two molecules resulting from an electrostatic attraction
between a proton and an electron

3. Ionic Bond: involves the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions (stolen elec-
trons)

4. Covalent: chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms

5. Polar Covalent: pair of electrons are unequally shared between two atoms (partial charge)

6. Cell Membrane
Feature: Protein
Types, Cilia, Fla-
gella, Endo/Exo-
cytosis

7. Protein Types: Fibrous and Globular

8. Fibrous: structural proteins, strand-like, provide mechanical support, insoluble; ex. colla-
gen (most abundant)

9. Globular: function proteins, spherical, compact, soluble, environment-sensitive; ex. Anti-
gens and hormones

10. Cilia: contains microtubules and other motor molecules; moves substances across
surfaces; looks like tiny fingers; gets rid of phlegm

11. Flagella:

whiplike, motile extensions on surfaces of certain cells; contains microtubules and
moto molecules; propels the whole cell

12. Endocytosis: where a cell envelops extracellular materials using its cell membrane

13. Types of Endocy- Phagocytosis and Pinocytosis
tosis:

14. Phagocytosis: nonselective; WBC; takes more solid (large) particles, like eating

15. Pinocytosis: cell takes small particles; fluid particles; like drinking

16. Exocytosis: endocytosis but reverse; pushes materials out of the cell
