uky BIO 152 exam 1 vocab questions
and answers
macromolecule - Correct Answers -big molecules that make up the structure of cells
monomer - Correct Answers -building blocks of macromolecules
polymer - Correct Answers -molecule made up of many parts
carbohydrate - Correct Answers -macromolecules that provide energy to the body
through glucose
lipid - Correct Answers -hydrophobic molecules. lipids called fats are where energy is
stored. also provide insulation from environment for plants and animals
protein - Correct Answers -structural, regulatory, contractile, or protective. serve in
transport, storage, or membranes. may be toxins or enzymes. polymers of amino acids
arranged in a linear sequence
nucleic acid - Correct Answers -carry the genetic blueprint of a cell and instructions for
the auctioning of the cell
diffusion - Correct Answers -passive process of transport. whens substance moves from
high concentration to low concentration until the concentration is equal all across
osmosis - Correct Answers -diffusion of water through a semipermeable membrane
according to the concentration gradient of water across the membrane
passive - Correct Answers -type of transport that doesn't require the cell to expend
energy to accomplish the movement
active - Correct Answers -movement that requires the use of cells energy, usually in the
form of ATP
cytoplasm - Correct Answers -comprises the contents of a cell between the plasma
membrane and the nuclear envelope
cytoskeleton - Correct Answers -network of protein envelope
