5652319687	proteins	amino acids	1
5652319688	lipids	fatty acids	2
5652357540	monomer	a molecule that can be bonded to other identical molecules	3
5652365281	polymer	is a large molecule, or macromolecule, composed of many repeated subunits	4
5652381042	plant cells	Include a cell wall, chloroplast, vacuole, nucleus etc	5
5652418117	Animal cells	cell membrane, nucleus, cytoplasm,	6
5652448006	prokaryotic cells	Do not have a nucleus, complex cell wall, small ribosomes, no organelles	7
5652462608	Eukaryotic cells	have nucleuses, animal plant	8
5652483658	ATP	adenosine triphosphate, the biochemical way to store and use energy	9
5652500939	function of chloroplasts	work to convert light energy of the Sun into sugars that can be used by cells.	10
5652509519	function of mitochondria	produce the energy currency of the cell (ATP) through respiration	11
5709123821	why do humans use carbs as a energy source	takes less energy to burn a carbs than it does fat	12
5709135719	enzymes	proteins that lower activation energy, also bind with substrates at the active site.	13
5709159324	Oxygen	- charge	14
5709164061	Hydrogen	+ charge	15
5709172613	osmosis	the process where molecules pass through a semi-permeable membrane from a low concentration to a high concetration	16
5709172614	diffusion	the movement of particles from high concentration to low concentration until uniform throughout	17
5709226556	Active transport	against the concentration gradient, uses ATP	18
5709237508	gases absorbed by plants	CO2	19
5709246323	gases released by plants	Oxygen	20
5709263636	CO2 levels are higher in the winter	there are no leaves to take in the co2 from the air	21
5709285765	cellular respiration	occurs in both plants and animals	22
5709291370	glycolysis	the universal process that shows we have all come from a common ancestor	23
5709305252	concentration gradients	drive the electron transport chain of photosynthesis and respiration	24
5709354040	hypertonic	concentration of solutes is greater OUTSIDE the cell	25
5709354041	hypotinic	concentration of solutes is greater INSIDE the cell	26
5709440288	compare and contrast prokaryotes and eukaryotes		27
