Know the Parts of the Cell
– Cell wall: surrounds/protects cell (only in plant cells) – Cell membrane: controls movement of materials into and out of the cell (active/passive transport) – Cytoplasm: watery area of movement – Mitochondria: produces/supplies energy – Chloroplasts: contain chlorophyll (capture sunlight) [only in plants] – Vacuoles: store food/water/chemicals – Nucleus: regulars.controls cell activities – Nuclear membrane:[…]
Chem + Bio for ACT Science Section
– Higher temperatures will (usually) increase reaction rate, colder temperatures will (usually) decrease reaction rate. – Amoebas: unicellular, have a nucleus, lack cell wall – Trophic level: the higher in a food chain an organism is, the higher its trophic level is. Producers have a lower trophic level than consumers. – Accuracy vs. Precision in[…]
DNA Info for Science Section on Standardized Tests
– DNA undergoes transcription to become RNA. RNA undergoes translation to become protein. – Ribosomes contain RNA – Proteins are large molecules with smaller amino acids in them. – The nucleus of a cell contains chromosomes. The chromosomes have DNA wrapped in proteins.
The Structure of a Molecule – ACT Prep
The center of an atom is a nucleus. In the nucleus, there are 2 subatomic particles: protons (positive charge) and neutrons (neutral charge). Outside of the nucleus are electrons. The energy of an electron is in shells. An atom is a single nucleus with a positive charge surrounded by a cloud of negatively charged electrons.[…]
What is a Circuit? ACT / SAT
A circuit is a complete path that electricity flows through. There is a source of electricity (battery). Conductors are the materials that allow electric current to pass through them easily. Conductors like the positive and negative ends of a battery. In a closed circuit, the electricity flows without any interruptions. Ohm’s Law: Voltage (V); Current[…]
