– 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:[…]
What is mitosis? Mitosis is the process of cell division. One cell becomes two cells with full chromosomal identity. Stages of mitosis: 1. Prophase 2. Metaphase 3. Anaphase 4. Telephase Cytokinesis begins in anaphase or telephase. Cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm into 2 new cells.
– 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 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 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.[…]
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[…]
Types of Electronic Bonds 1. Covalent bonds – 2 or more elements share electrons (ex: H2O) 2. Ionic bonds – strongest bonding. One element takes an electron from another molecule (ex: NaCl) 3. Hydrogen bonds – weakest form of bonding. Hydrogen atom interacts with an electronegative atom like nitrogen, oxygen, or fluorine
1. Newton’s First Law: An object that is at rest will stay at rest unless a force acts upon it. An object that is in motion will not change its velocity unless a force acts upon it. 2. Newton’s Second Law: Force = mass * acceleration. The second law states that the rate of change[…]
Sally is staying at a hotel that charges $88.50 per night plus tax. A 6% tax is applied to the room rate, and an additional onetime untaxed fee of $7.00 is charged by the hotel. Write an expression for Sally’s total charge, in dollars, for staying x nights.
x² + y² = 167 y = −3x Solve for x and y.
