Carbohydrates

The life of a eukaryotic cell can be divided into 4 distinct phases, ending with cell division.

Cell Cycle

The life of a eukaryotic cell can be divided into 4 distinct phases, ending with cell division.

Cell Division

Cell Cycle, Mitosis, and Meiosis:
All cells reproduce by dividing into two genetically identical daughter cells.

Cellular Respiration

Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration:
The cellular process which transfers chemical energy from glucose to ATP.

Characteristics of Life

What characteristics do all living organisms share? We look at the characteristics of life including respiration, growth, and responding to their environment.

Chemistry of Life

The rate at which radioisotopes break down into smaller atomic nuclei.

Common Parts of the Cell

Cellular Structure and Function
How a cell functions is directly related to its structure. A nerve cell differs from a skin cell in how it looks and what is does.

Diffusion

Introduces diffusion and osmosis and how the concepts relate to cells.

DNA Structure and Replication

Describes the DNA double helix and how DNA is copied.

DNA, the Genetic Material

Discuss identification of the genetic material.

Gregor Mendel and Genetics

Genetics is the study of heredity in organisms and was pioneered by Gregor Mendel's experiments.

Phospholipid Bilayers

A membrane where phospholipid molecules orient to provide qualities necessary to maintain a cell in a water-based environment.

Proteins

Made of smaller units called amino acids, proteins provide energy for cells and perform many cellular functions.

Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells

Prokaryotic cells lack a membrane bound nucleus. Eukaryotic cells have membrane bound organelles.

Scientific Methods

Scientific experiments involve observation, experimentation, and analysis of results.

Significance of Carbon

Carbon is an element that has unique properties (exceptional ability to form bonds) that makes it essential to life on earth.

Meiosis

Cell Cycle, Mitosis, and Meiosis
A type of cell division that produces haploid cells from a diploid parent cell.

Mitosis and Cytokinesis

Cell Cycle, Mitosis, and Meiosis
The process by which eukaryotic cells divide to produce identical daughter cells.

Nucleic Acids

Organic compounds that consist of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphorus. Examples: DNA, RNA.

Lipids

Organic compounds composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen that do not mix with water.
