Electons: Neutrons: neutral
Neutral Atom
Neutral atom has no charge; so
number of protons and
electrons would be equal
Ions
 Charged
 Charge
atom
can be either positive
or negative…how does this
form?
ANSWER
 Positive
Ion: excess positive
charge ( more protons)
 Negative
Ion: excess negative
charge (more electrons)

ANSWER

NEGATIVE

1 sugar
2+ sugars; can
contain 100 or 1000 sugars

Polar vs. Nonpolar
 Water
is polar
 Polar molecule: a molecule
that has a partial positive and
partial negative charge
 Only polar substances will
dissolve in water; non polar
will not.
Enzymes
12/13. Proteins that are necessary for
life
14. It is a catalyst, which causes a
reaction to occur
15.pH, temperature affect
enzymes
16. Substance that is broken down
by enzyme
17. Area where substrate binds
The Cell: Make sure you know
the diagrams on plant and animal
cells
Cell Theory
 1.
All living things are
composed of one or more cells
 2. Cells are organisms’ basic
units of structure and function
 3. Cells come only from
existing cells
Prokaryotic vs. Eukaryotic Cells
 Prokaryotes:
Lack any internal
membrane bound structures
(most organelles) and nucleus
 Ex: bacteria
 Eukaryotes: have nucleus;
plants & animals
Cell Membrane
 Also
called Plasma Membrane
 Prokaryotes, Eukaryotes
 Plants & Animals
 Function: controls what enter
and leaves the cell
Cell Wall
 Found
in bacteria and plants
 Made of cellulose
 Function: gives cells its shape and
protection
Nucleus & Nuclear Envelope
 Only
in eukaryotes
 Function: Control center for
metabolism and reproduction
 Surrounded by a nuclear
envelope that is selectively
permeable

Diffusion
 Movement
of molecules from
an area of high concentration
to an area of lower
concentration
 Passive
Transport
Diffusion
Concentration Gradient
 Occurs
when there is a
difference between high and
low concentration
Equilibrium

amount is inside and
outside the cell
Osmosis

of water across a
selectively permeable
membrane from region of
high water concentration to a
region of low water
concentration
 Passive
Plasmolysis vs. Cytolysis
Plasmolysis: shrinking of
cytoplasm (result of hypertonic
solution)
Cytolysis: cell explodes due to
hypotonic solution
Turgor Pressue
 Increase
of pressure in a plant
due to water entering the cell via
osmosis
 Plant cell will not explode
because of cell wall
 Greatest pressure in pure water

low concentration
Endocytosis
