Module 6: Cell theory: a scientific theory that states that all living things are made of cells, cells are the basic unit of life, and all cells come from other cells. Homeostasis:... Module 6: Cell theory: a scientific theory that states that all living things are made of cells, cells are the basic unit of life, and all cells come from other cells. Homeostasis: the ability of living organisms to maintain a stable internal environment in response to external changes. Metabolism: is the set of chemical reactions in cells that build and break down macromolecules and harness energy. Anabolism: a biochemical process in metabolism where the simple molecules combine to generate complex molecules. Catabolism: Catabolism is the process of breaking down larger molecules into smaller ones. Module 7: Types of cells (pro and eukaryotes): Prokaryotes: Definition Prokaryotic cells are the cells that do not have a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. Attributes: All are unicellular, No membrane bound organelles, Lack a nucleus, Simplistic, have a cell membrane, Reproduce through binary fission: a type of asexual reproduction. Ex of prokaryotes: Bacteria, Eukarya and Archaea. Eukaryotes: Definition: A eukaryote is an organism whose cells have a nucleus enclosed within a membrane. Attributes: membrane-bound nucleus, Multicellular but can also be single-celled. Ex of eukaryotes: animals plants fungi and protists. Module 8 Cell and Organism Size: SA:V ratio: the higher the surface area to volume ratio, the more effective cell processes can be. Diffusion and bulk flow definitions. Module 9: Phospholipid bilayer description and protein types in cell membranes. Module 10: Membrane transport mechanisms, including passive and active transport, endocytosis, and exocytosis. Module 11 Osmosis: Definition and effects of water potential, osmotic pressure, tonicity. Module 12 Eukaryotic vs. prokaryotic cells and endosymbiotic theory. Read more
