movement of water from a region of higher water potential to a region of lower water potential, through a partially permeable membrane
1 of 13
what does isotonic mean?
when the cell is the same concentration as the surrounding solution and therefore has the same water potential

what is the biuret test for proteins?
1.sample + equal volume of sodium hydroxide in test tube. 2.add few drops of very dilute copper (II) sulfate and gently mix. 3. purple =presence of peptide bonds (protein) remains blue = no protein
3 of 13
formation of a peptide bond
Amino acids combine by peptide bonds to form dipeptides. its a condensation reaction
4 of 13
primary structure
Sequence of amino acids in the polypeptide chain
5 of 13
secondary structure
hydrogen bonds form between the amino acids in the chain, this makes it coil into a alpha helix or fold into a beta pleated sheet
6 of 13
tertiary structure
more disulfide, ionic and hydrogen bonds form between different parts of the polypeptide chain, forming their final structure
7 of 13
quaternary structure
Way that two or more polypeptide chains are assembled together. final 3D structure of proteins

what are the fundamental differences between plant and animal cells?
plants have.....1) cell wall 2)chlorophyll and chloroplasts 3) vacuole
9 of 13
cell wall
for strength and rigidity- thick outer layer
10 of 13
chloroplasts
enclosed by double membranes, where photosynthesis takes place
