B4 Definitions

?
Mitochondria
Contain enzymes to carry out respiration and this is where energy is made inside a cell
1 of 23
Cell Membrane
Allows gases and water to pass in and out of the cell
2 of 23
Nucleus
Contains DNA which carries the genetic code for making enzymes
3 of 23
Cytoplasm
Liquid part of the cell where to enzymes and other proteins are made
4 of 23
Animal Cells
Made up of a nucleus, cell membrane and cytoplasm
5 of 23
Plant Cells
Made up of nucleus, cell membrane, cytoplasm, chloroplasts, vacuole and cell wall
6 of 23
Chloroplasts
Contain chlorophyll and the enzymes for the reactions in photosynthesis
7 of 23
Respiration
A chemical reaction that takes place inside a cell that releases energy
8 of 23
Photosynthesis
A chemical reaction that takes place inside plant cells that makes glucose (carbon dioxide + water = glucose + oxygen)
9 of 23
Aerobic Respiration
Takes place in animal and plant cells and some microorganisms, and requires oxygen
10 of 23
Anaerobic Respiration
Takes place in animal, plant and some microbial cells in conditions of low oxygen or absence of oxygen
11 of 23
Limiting Factors
Factors such as temperature, sunlight and carbon dioxide that limit the rate of photosynthesis
12 of 23
Chlorophyll
The green pigment found in chloroplasts which absorbs sunlight
13 of 23
Enzymes
Proteins that speed up chemical reactions
14 of 23
Optimum
The best conditions for enzymes to work at
15 of 23
The lock and key model
Molecules have to be the correct shape to fit into the active site of the enzyme
16 of 23
Denature
The shape of the enzyme changes if the temperature is too high and the enzyme stops working and cannot go back
17 of 23
Active Site
The surface of the enzyme that fits into the substrate
18 of 23
Passive
Requires no energy
19 of 23
Diffusion
Is the passive overall movement of molecues from a region of their higher concentration to a region of their lower concentration
20 of 23
Osmosis
Is the overall movement of water from a dilute to a more concentrated solution through a partially permeable membrane
21 of 23
Partially Permeable Membrane
A cell membrane which allows only certain substances through it
22 of 23
HT Active Transport
Is the overall movement of chemicals across a cell membrane requiring energy from respiration
