LIFE(ORIGIN, EVO, ETC)

Cards (109)

  • Divine or Special Creation Theory - Life comes from a supernatural being called God.
  • Cosmozoic or Interplanetary Theory (Panspermia) - Life comes from outer planets in a form of a resistant spore propelled by radiation pressure, reaching the Earth and starting the first form of life.
  • Abiogenesis or Spontaneous Generation - Life comes from non-living things.
  • Philosophical Theory of Eternity - Life has no end and no beginning
  • Marine Theory - Life originated from the sea.
  • Physico-chemical Theory (Chemosynthetic Theory) - The most widely recognized explanation holds that a series of chemical reactions resulted in a mass of living protoplasm, which gradually changed to give rise to the current forms of life.
  • Homeostasis- It is the ability to maintain internal balance, or normal state of a body
  • Concentration gradient - the flow of materials, whether solvent or solute, is from greater to lesser concentration
  • Kidney regulate salt and water balance.
  • Plasma membrane
  • plasma membrane- It is a semi permeable, phospholipid bilayer with hydrophobic tails and hydrophilic heads
  • Plasma membrane- It controls substances that come in and out of the cell.
  • Passive Transport - no need for oxygen and don't use ATP
  • Passive transport - molecules move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration
  • Diffusion- random movement of substances or molecules from an area of high to low concentration.
  • Facilitated Diffusion- movement of specific particles through specific carrier proteins situated in the membrane
  • Osmosis- It is the movement of water across membranes
  • Active Transport - Cells use energy
  • Movement from low to an area of high concentration
  • Protein Pumps - It transport proteins that require energy to do work
  • Endocytosis - It is taking bulky substances into a cell.
  • Exocytosis- It is taking bulky substances out of a cell.
  • Bulk Transports - It is the transport of large molecules.
  • Phagocytosis - cell eating
  • Pinocytosis-cell drinking
  • Hypotonic - cell swell, burst, turgid, cytolysis
  • Hypertonic - cell shrink, shrivel, plasmolysis
  • Isotonic - normal, no change , dynamic equilibrium
  • Organization - Living organisms consist of one or more cells that are connected to one another.
  • Unicellular- They are one-celled organisms
  • Examples include bacteria, protists like amoeba, algae, are unicellular.
  • Multicellular- These are organisms composed of many cells.
  • Examples include all plants, all animals, most fungi, and some protists.
  • Atom- It is the building block of matter.
  • Proton- positively charged particles
  • Neutron - no charge particles
  • Electron- particles negatively charged
  • Compound - Two or more atoms joined in chemical bonds
  • Epithelial Tissue is made of one layer of cells and is found in most gradular structures.
  • Connective tissue provides support and for connection.
