1. biology: the study of life
2. properties of life: cellular organization, homeostasis, metabolism, responsiveness, haredity, growth, repro-
duction
3. cellular organization: basic structure of all cells is the same
4. homeostasis: insides work to stay the same while the outside changes
5. metabolism: all reactions that keep an organism alive and use energy
6. responsiveness: react
7. haredity: passing of traits
8. growth: changing, developing, getting bigger
9. nine fields of biology: biochemistry, ecology, botany, zoology, phisiology, evolutionary theory, microbiol-
ogy, genetics, cell biology
10. biochemistry: chemicals
11. ecology: interactions
12. botany: plants
13. zoology: animals
14. phisiology: human body
15. evolutionary theory: change
16. microbiology: the smallest forms of life
17. genetics: passing of traits
18. cell biology: cells
19. parts of an atom: proton, neutron, electron
20. proton (where and charge): nucleus, positive
21. neutron (where and charge): nucleus, neutral
22. electron (where and charge): outer shells, negative
23. ion: an atom or group of atoms that have an electric charge because it gained or lost an electron
24. ionic bond: giving and recieving electrons
25. covalent: sharing electrons
26. polar: uneven sharing of electrons
27. polar molecules and water: can dissolve in water
28. non polar: equal sharing of electrons

30. four properties that make water unique: ice floats, water absorbs and retains heat, cohesion,
adhesion
31. cohesion: attraction between substances of the same kind to stick to one another
32. adhesion: attraction between substances of a different kind
33. organic compound (2 other names): carbon compound, biomolecule
34. organic compound (definition): makes up all living things
35. four organic compounds: carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, nucleic acids
36. carbohydrates (building block): sugar
37. proteins (building block): amino acids
38. lipids (building block): fat
39. nucleic acids (building block): nucleotides
40. enzyme: protein that speeds up biochemical reactions
41. hydrogyn bond: positive charged hydrogyn with a negative charged molecule
42. cell size: the smaller the better
43. cell shape: Shape reveals function
44. four structures that all cells share: cytoplasm, DNA, ribosomes, cell membrane
45. DNA in prokaryotes: circular
46. DNA in eukaryotes: linear
47. cell theory (3): all living things are made up of one or more cells, cells are the basic units of structure adn
function in organisms, al cells arise from existing cells
48. organelle: a structure that carries out specific activities inside the cell
49. ribosomes: site of protein synthesis
50. smooth ER: break down toxic substances and makes lipids
51. rough ER: forms vesicles around proteins
52. golgi apparatus: packages and sorts proteins
53. mitochondria: makes ATP
54. chloroplast: creates photosynthesis
55. cell membrane: controls what goes in and out of the cell
56. nucleus: produces ribosomeses
57. structure of the cell membrane: phospholipid bilayer
58. concentration gradient: more molecules on one side of the membrane than the other
59. osmosis: diffusion of water across the cell membrane
