Denature

Nota:

• take away or alter the natural qualities of.

1. Active Transport

   Nota:

   • the movement of ions or molecules across a cell membrane into a region of higher concentration.
   1. ATP

      Nota:

      • energy for a cell
2. Gradient

   Nota:

   • the increase or decrease of a magnitude of a property (e.g. temperature, pressure, or concentration) observed in passing from one point to another.
   1. Cytoplasm

      Nota:

      • material between nucleus and the cell membrane
3. Eukaryote

   Nota:

   • having cells with "good" or membrane-bound nuclei.
   1. Osmosis

      Nota:

      • a process in which molecules pass through a semi-permeable membrane, from a less concentrated solution into a more concentrated one, thus equalizing the concentrations of both side
4. Passive Transport

   Nota:

   • transport of a substance across a cell membrane by diffusion; expenditure of energy is not required.
   1. Facilitated Diffusion

      Nota:

      • diffusion through a membrane with a carrier protein.
5. Prokaryote

   Nota:

   • having cells that lack membrane-bound nuclei
   1. Vacuole

      Nota:

      • a small storage organelle in a cell that transports protein.
6. Anti-Codon

   Nota:

   • a sequence of 3 nucleotides forming a unit of genetic code in a transfer RNA molecule, corresponding to a complementary codon in the messenger RNA.
   1. Ribosome

      Nota:

      • protein factories found all over the cytoplasm
7. Mitochondria

   Nota:

   • an organelle found in large numbers in most cells, in which the biochemical process processes of respiration and energy production occur.
   1. Equilibrium

      Nota:

      • a balance; equal amounts everywhere
8. Protein Synthesis

   Nota:

   • the process in which cells generate protein; it is balanced by the loss of protein via degradation or export
   1. Chloroplast

      Nota:

      • the structure that uses the Sun's energy to make sugar
