Excrete wastes
Secrete
Have a life span
Life Needs:

Chemistry of the Cell

Cells are made of atoms and molecules

Carbon, Oxygen, Hydrogen, Iron, Sodium, Potassium, etc.
Organic

Organic compounds contain carbon


Inorganic
Carbohydrates, proteins, fats, nucleic acids, etc.
Inorganic compounds are also necessary for life

Water, salt, vitamins, etc.
Cell Transport…note error on class notes
Passive Transport
Exocytosis
Active Transport
Endocytosis
Cellular Respiration
organisms use oxygen to break down glucose and
release water and carbon dioxide as waste
C6H12O6 + 6O2  Energy + 6CO2 + 6H2O
Photosynthesis
plants use solar energy
to make glucose from
water and carbon dioxide
and release oxygen as waste
Energy + 6CO2 + 6H2O  C6H12O6 + 6O2
Mitosis

Cell division for body
cells - diploid
Meiosis

Cell division to produce
sex cells - haploid
DNA
Nitrogen bases
 Adenine
 Thymine
 Guanine
 Cytosine
Sexual vs. Asexual Reproduction
Heredity – passing of traits from parents
of offspring
Alleles – different forms a gene has for a trait




A – dominant allele for a trait (upper case)
a – recessive allele for a trait (lower case)
Heterozygous – different alleles
Homozygous – identical alleles
Punnett Squares


Tools for predicting genetic
crosses
Genotype – genetic makeup


What alleles are present
Phenotype – physical makeup

