  • How would the this base sequence be coded on mRNA?
    ACAGTGC
    UGUCACG
  • Unit for length
    meters (m)
  • Unit for mass
    kilograms (kg)
  • Unit for time
    second (s)
  • Unit for electric current
    ampere (amp)
  • Unit for temperature
    kelvin (K)
  • Unit for amount of substance
    mole (mol)
  • Unit for luminous intensity
    candela (cd)
  • The International
    System (SI) is the system of units that scientists have agreed upon and is legally enforced in almost all
    parts of the world.
  • Density is the mass of the object per unit volume.
  • In science, work is done only when the force applied to an object actually moves the object in the
    direction of the force. This is represented as:
    WORK = force x displacement
  • Energy is the ability to do work or the ability to exert
    force on an object and make it move.
  • A cell consists of three parts: the cell membrane, the nucleus, and, between the two, the cytoplasm.
  • A cell is the structural and fundamental unit of life. Robert Hooke was the first Biologist who discovered cells.
  • Cell Theory
    1. All living organisms are made of cells.
    2. Cells are the basic unit of life.
    3. All cells come from pre-existing cells.
  • Cell membrane, also called plasma membrane serves as a support or to protect the cell. It is the outer covering of a cell within which all other organelles, such as the cytoplasm and nucleus, are enclosed.
  • In a solution, the substance that does the dissolving is called solvent.
  • Water is a good solvent due to its polarity and small molecular size.
  • A solution that cannot hold any more solute at room temperature would be a saturated solution.
  • Ethanol dissolved in water would be an example of a solution between two miscible liquids.
  • A saturated solution is a solution that has dissolved as much solute as it is capable of dissolving.
  • Liquids which mix with each other are called as miscible liquids.
  • Liquids that do not mix with each other are called as immiscible liquids.
  • Example: Coconut oil and water are immiscible liquids.
  • Example: Milk and water are miscible liquids.
  • Sugar dissolving in water is a physical change.
  • Boiling an egg is an example of chemical change.
  • The chemicals after a chemical change have properties different to the chemicals before the change.
  • Cell membrane - an outer covering that separates the cell's interior from its surrounding environment.
  • Cytoplasm - consisting of a jelly-like cytosol within the cell in which other cellular components are found.
  • Nucleus - contains genetic material (DNA) and controls all activities of the cell.
  • Cytoplasm - contain organic compound necessary for the survival of the cell.
  • Prokaryotic cell - mostly single-celled (unicellular) organism that lacks a nucleus or any other membrane-bound organelle.
  • Flagella - comparatively longer in length, less, and is found in prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells.
  • Flagella - help in locomotion.
  • Eukaryotic cells have:
    • membrane-bound nucleus
    • numerous membrane-bound organelles
    • several rod-shaped chromosomes
  • Some membrane-bound organelles present in eukaryotic cell:
    • Smooth & Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
    • Golgi-apparatus
    • Chloroplasts
    • Mitochondria
  • Nucleus - control center of the cell because it contain the genetic material (DNA).
  • Chromosomes - threadlike structures made of protein and a single molecule of DNA that serve to carry the genomic information from cell to cell. 
  • Ribosomes - the cellular organelles responsible for protein synthesis.
