Bio

• Zoology: animal life
• embryology: formation/development of organisms
• botany: plant life
• anatomy: structures of the body
• ecology: relationship of living things to their environment
• physiology: functions of the body
• genetics: heredity
• cytology: cell
• histology: tissues
• bacteriology: bacteria/unicellular life
• Cell: basic structure of all living things
• Eukaryotes: most cells making up living organisms
• Prokaryotes: cells that do not have nuclear membrane
• Animal Organelle that Plant Cells do not have: Centrosomes, Flagellum, Lysosomes
• Plant Organelle that Animal Cells do not have: Cell wall, chloroplast, large central vacuole
• mitochondria: powerhouse of cell
• smooth endoplasmic reticulum: does not have ribosomes attached
• rough endoplasmic reticulum: ribosomes attached
• Golgi Apparatus: manufactures, distribute hormone, enzymes and other protein
• Peroxisomes: seceret oxidation enzymes
• Vacuoles: fluid-filled sac that usually contain water
• Basal Bodies: play a role in cell movement
• Centrioles: play a role in cell division/cells mobility
• Nucleolus: plays a role in the synthesis of ribosomal RNA
• Chromosomes: composed mainly of DNA, hereditary information
• Ribosomes: protein factory of the cell
• A generalized cell will contain: cell membrane, nucleus, cytoplasm
• Cell membrane: gatekeeper, double layer of lipids
• Nucleus: control center
• Cytoplasm: collodial suspension that contains "organelle"
• State of Equilibrium: molecular movement has met need concentrations
• Protein Degredation: proteins are broken down to the smallest units called amino acids
• Amino Acids: reconstructed into peptide chain
• Protein Synthesis: process of combining amino acids
• cell division: process of cell reproductio
• Mitosis: two daughter nuclei receive the same chromosome, asexual reproduction
• Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase
• Meiosis: two successive cell divison where chromosom duplicate once
• Reproduction: Asexual and Sexual
• Asexual Reproduction: Fission, Budding, Sporulation
