BIO_SC 1010 Study Guide - Final Guide: Prokaryote, Cellular Respiration, Plasmid
Document Summary
Describes how nature acts under certain conditions, without explaining why. Discrete bits of info based on consistently replicated observations. Formed from chains of simple sugars (starch): lipids, functions: energy sources, food storage. Formed from fatty acids (long chains of c & h). Insoluble in water: functions: energy storage, hormones, water proofing, proteins. Formed from chains of amino acids: functions: structure (e. g. hair, claws, nails, skin, muscle), hormones, enzymes, nucleic acids. Lacks a nucleus, smaller, lacks internal membranes (e. g. bacteria) Has a membrane-bound nucleus, larger, contains membrane-bound organelles (e. g. prokaryotic: eukaryotic human cells) sex cells. (23 chromosomes) the body is diploid, except for gametes, diploid, haploid. Cells that contain one chromosome from each homologous pair. Cells that contain homologous pairs of chromosomes. (46 chromosomes). 1 long dna molecule wrapped around a series of proteins. (deoxyribonucleic acid) consists of chain of nucleotides.
