Instructions for Side by Side Printing
  1. Print the notecards
  2. Fold each page in half along the solid vertical line
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal dotted line
  4. Optional: Glue, tape or staple the ends of each notecard together
  1. Verify Front of pages is selected for Viewing and print the front of the notecards
  2. Select Back of pages for Viewing and print the back of the notecards
    NOTE: Since the back of the pages are printed in reverse order (last page is printed first), keep the pages in the same order as they were after Step 1. Also, be sure to feed the pages in the same direction as you did in Step 1.
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal and vertical dotted line
To print: Ctrl+PPrint as a list

28 notecards = 7 pages (4 cards per page)

bio chap 3

front 1

list 4 organelles of the cell:

back 1

nucleus, cell membrane, centrioles, cytoskeleton

front 2

What is diffusion and osmosis?

back 2

molecules in a gas or liquid that move about randomly. the molecules collide with each other causing them to change direction. osmosis is the net diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane

front 3

Why can oxygen and carbon dioxide pass through the plasma membrane of a cell?

back 3

they can diffuse right through the lipid bilayer. they dissolve into the lipid bilayer, passing through like a ghost.they are called lipid-soluble molecules.

front 4

Gated channels are especially important in regulating the transport of what across a plasma membrane?

back 4

ions. which are, sodium, potassium, and calcium.

front 5

What does active transport require and in the presence of what?

back 5

it requires energy. active transport moves substances from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration.

front 6

To move solutes like amino acids into a cell by active transport, the cell must do what?

back 6

expand energy.

front 7

What is endocytosis?

back 7

involves a membranous vesicle to move larger substances through the cell. it in moving those materials INTO the cell. there are three types, phagocytosis, pinocytosis, and receptor-mediated endocytosis.

front 8

Know what the sodium-potassium pump does.

back 8

it maintains the cells volume. it expels unwanted ions and keeps the needed ones.

front 9

Know what an isotonic solution is?

back 9

its when the extracellular and intracellular ionic concentrations are equal to maintain your cells. (9 grams of salt in one liter of solution)

front 10

In the cell, proteins that are synthesized for immediate use by the cell are normally produced where?

back 10

on free flowing ribosomes.

front 11

Which organelles produce proteins?

back 11

rough endoplasmic reticulum

front 12

What do lysosomes become after they have completed the digestion of cell parts?

back 12

residual bodies

front 13

The enzymes stored in peroxisomes are used to break down what?

back 13

toxic waste like hydrogen peroxide. they also destroy compounds that enter the cell like alcohol

front 14

To increase the surface area of some cells, the plasma membrane possesses what?

back 14

proteins

front 15

Muscle cells store energy in the form of what until it is used for the production of ATP?

back 15

of fat

front 16

What is metabolism in regards to the catabolic pathways.

back 16

metabolism is the sum of all of the chemical reactions in the organism. some of these chemical reactions are organized as metabolic pathways. (in patterns)

front 17

What is anabolic and catabolic pathways?

back 17

a specific type of metabolic pathway that forms a cycle in which substarte molecules enter and product molecules exit, this repeats the chemical cycle over and over again. they are two basic types of metabolic pathways.

the anabolic pathway-, molecules are assembled into larger molecules that contain more energy. (throwing up)

the catabolic pathway -larger molecules are broken down and releases energy.(throwing down.

ex: the assembly of a protein from many amino acids is an anabolic pathway

ex: the breakdown of glucose into water, carbon dioxide and energy is a catobolic pathway.

front 18

Cellular respiration is essential to eukaryotic cells because?

back 18

it removes electrons and hydrogen ions

front 19

Which stage in the catabolism of glucose involves the splitting of glucose into two three-carbon molecules?

back 19

glycolysis stage.

front 20

Where in a typical human cell does glycolysis occur?

back 20

within the cells cytoplasm.

front 21

The two-carbon molecule acetyl is completely broken apart into carbon dioxide, hydrogen ions, and electrons in which process?

back 21

the preparatory step.

front 22

At the end of the electron transport system, oxygen combines with electrons and hydrogen ions to form what?

back 22

ATP

front 23

In the electron transport system, the energy used to synthesize ATP comes from the diffusion of what from the mitochondria?

back 23

hydrogen ions.

front 24

What is used first by cells as an energy source immediately after a meal?

back 24

natural sugars (glucose)

front 25

Burning sensation associated with muscle fatigue is due to the accumulation of what?

back 25

Lactic Acid.

front 26

The process by which embryonic cells go through functional and structural changes to become specialized is?

back 26

a process called differentiation

front 27

What step in the breakdown of glucose can occur without oxygen?

back 27

glycolysis

front 28

How does DNA differ from RNA?

back 28

DNA contains deoxyribose
