The smallest unit of life that can function independently

Structural support, aid in cell division, organelle transport, cell movement

The product of a reaction slows the production of more product

The diffusion of water across a membrane down its concentration gradient

The sum of all cellular chemical reaction. Molecules are built or broken down

Dissolve in water

Two or more interacting tissues that function as a unit

Gain knowledge by observing and asking questions about the natural world

Carries the protein “recipe” to a ribosome where the protein is assembled

Fuse adjacent cells, preventing substances from flowing between them

Release energy from food producing ATP from ADP

Chemical energy (stored in bonds) not moving

The product of the reaction that the enzyme catalyze

A single unit of a carbohydrate, protein or nucleic acid

Water does not dissolve

A molecule that temporarily stores energy for cellular work

Occurs when concentration gradients dissipate across a biological membrane

Use filaments to hold cells together

A membrane separates each cell from its surroundings

Carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids

Contains DNA for the proteins

The ability to do work— to move matter

Allows a cell to engulf fluids and large molecules and bring them into the cell

Microfilaments, intermediate filaments, Microtubules

Some unicellular, many multicellular. Subdivided into kingdoms based on the way energy is acquired

Light, sound, movement of atoms and molecules, muscle contractions

The cell uses energy and a transport protein to move a substance against its concentration gradient

Form the internal framework of cilia and flagella

Cell membranes also contain proteins

Protein channel links the cytoplasm of neighboring cells

The science of naming and categorizing organisms

Some carbons are double bonded

No polar bonds which repel water

A network of protein tracks and tubules

A tentative falsifiable explanation of an observation

Both are unicellular prokaryotes but differ fundamentally so that they are considered separate domains

Two or more organs that are physically or functionally joined

Between molecules on the surface of liquid water give it high surface tension

Groups of specialized cells that interact and provide a specific function

A protein that speeds up a chemical reaction without being consumed

Polar bonds which are attracted to water

Uses vesicles to transport substances out of the cell

The reverse reaction of dehydration synthesis; it breaks polymers into monomers

Molecules

Particles move from high to low concentration that is they move down their concentration gradient

Carbons of fatty acids all singly bonded
