What is the main purpose of procedures in programming?

To carry out a task and provide structure to code.

What distinguishes a function from a procedure?

A function returns a value while a procedure does not.

A function is always shorter than a procedure

A function can only be called once

A procedure is always executed first

What does the random library provide in a programming context?

A collection of functions for generating random numbers.

Which statement is true about sub-programs?

They make programs easier to write and debug.

They cannot be tested individually

They increase program complexity

What is a common benefit of using functions in programming?

They create reusable program components.

They make the code less readable

In flowchart symbols, what indicates a jump to another flowchart?

A specific symbol designated for flowchart sub-programs.

What happens when a sub-program (function or procedure) is called in a program?

The program executes the code within that sub-program and then returns control back to the calling location.

The program pauses indefinitely

Why might a programmer want to group functions into a library?

To enable easy reuse across multiple programs.

To keep them hidden from the main program

What is an essential feature of sub-programs that assists in debugging?

They allow for individual testing of specific parts of the program.

They eliminate the need for comments

They increase the size of the code

They must be completed in order

How to use sub programs

Some substances, such as macromolecules and nutrients, are too large to pass through the cell membrane by the transport processes you have studied so far. Cells employ two other transport mecha- nisms—endocytosis and exocytosis—to move such substances into or out of cells. Endocytosis and exocytosis are also used to transport large quantities of small molecules into or out of cells at a single time. Both endocytosis and exocytosis require cells to expend energy. Therefore, they are types of active transport. Endocytosis Endocytosis (EN-doh-sie-TOH-sis) is the process by which cells ingest external fluid, macromolecules, and large particles, including other cells. As you can see in Figure 5-7, these external materials are enclosed by a portion of the cell’s membrane, which folds into itself and forms a pouch. The pouch then pinches off from the cell membrane and becomes a membrane-bound organelle called a vesicle. Some of the vesicles fuse with lysosomes, and their con- tents are digested by lysosomal enzymes. Other vesicles that form during endocytosis fuse with other membrane-bound organelles. Two main types of endocytosis are based on the kind of material that is taken into the cell: pinocytosis (PIEN-oh-sie-TOH-sis) involves the transport of solutes or fluids, and phagocytosis (FAG-oh-sie-TOH-sis) is the movement of large particles or whole cells. Many unicellular organisms feed by phagocytosis. In addition, certain cells in animals use phagocytosis to ingest bacteria and viruses that invade the body. These cells, known as phagocytes, allow lysosomes to fuse with the vesicles that contain the ingested bacteria and viruses. Lysosomal enzymes then destroy the bacteria and viruses before they can harm the animal. CYTOSOL EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENT During endocytosis, the cell membrane folds around food or liquid and forms a small pouch. The pouch then pinches off from the cell membrane to become a vesicle.

Explain your answer. 8. Evaluating Differences How does the sodium- potassium pump differ from facilitated diffusion? 9. Relating Concepts The vesicles formed during pinocytosis are much smaller than those formed during phagocytosis. Explain. SECTION 2 REVIEW Vesicle Cell membrane EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENT CYTOSOL During exocytosis, a vesicle moves to the cell membrane, fuses with it, and then releases its contents to the outside of the cell. FIGURE 5-8 INSIDE OF CELL Vesicle OUTSIDE OF CELL Exocytosis Exocytosis (EK-soh-sie-TOH-sis) is the process by which a substance is released from the cell through a vesicle that transports the sub- stance to the cell surface and then fuses with the membrane to let the substance out of the cell. This process, illustrated in Figure 5-8, is basically the reverse of endocytosis. During exocytosis, vesi- cles release their contents into the cell’s external environment. Figure 5-8 also shows a photo of a vesicle during exocytosis. Cells may use exocytosis to release large molecules such as pro- teins, waste products, or toxins that would damage the cell if they were released within the cytosol. Recall that proteins are made on ribosomes and packaged into vesicles by the Golgi apparatus. The vesicles then move to the cell membrane and fuse with it, deliver- ing the proteins outside the cell. Cells in the nervous and endocrine systems also use exocytosis to release small molecules that control the activities of other cells.

Sc.8.p.8.5 Students will be able to: • Recognize that there are a finite number of elements and that their atoms combine in a multitude of ways to produce compounds that make up all the living and nonliving things that we encounter. • Distinguish among mixtures (including solutions) and pure substances. • Recognize that elements are grouped in the periodic table according to similarities of their properties • Recognize that atoms are the smallest unit of an element and they are composed of sub-atomic particles (electrons surrounding a nucleus containing protons and neutrons) • Explain why theories may be modified but are rarely discarded Advanced Benchmarks: • Write chemical formulas for simple covalent (HCl, SO2, CO2, and CH4) and ionic (Na+ + Cl- + NaCl) and molecular (O2, H2O ) compounds. Predict the formulas of ionic compounds based on the number of valence electrons and the charges on the ions (912.P.8.7) • Use the periodic table and electron configuration to determine an element’s number of valence electrons and its chemical and physical properties. Explain how chemical properties depend almost entirely on the configuration of the outer electron shell (912.P.8.5) • Explain that electrons, protons, and neutrons are parts of the atoms and the nuclei of atoms are composed of protons and neutrons, which experience forces of attraction and repulsion consistent with their charges and masses (912.P.8.4)
