| What is the function of the CHLOROPLAST of a cell? | Site of PHOTOSYNTHESIS |
| What is the function of the CELL MEMBRANE of a cell? | To control what enters and exits a cell |
| What is the chemical formula of cell respiration? | oxygen + glucose (makes) CO2 + H2) + ATP energy |
| Cell Respiration takes place in which one of the cell organelles? | Mitochondria |
| Which components of cell respiration are the reactants (things needed)? | Glucose (C6H12O6) and Oxygen (O2) |
| What are the results (results) of cell respiration? | Carbon Dioxide, water, and energy |
| What types of organisms carry out cell respiration? | All organisms (people, animals, plants) |
| When is the process of cell respiration carried out by organisms? | 24/7 All the time |
| What is the chemical formula of photosynthesis? | |
| Site of photosynthesis in plant cells? | Chloroplast |
| Energy source of photosynthesis? | The sun |
| What are the inorganic reactants (things needed) for photosynthesis? | carbon dioxide + water |
| What are the products (results) of photosynthesis? | glucose and oxygen |
| When is photosynthesis carried out? | Daylight |
| What types of organisms carry out photosynthesis? | Autotrophs/Plants |
| Which organelle controls transport in cells? | the cell membrane controls transport of nutrients and waste in and out of the cell |
| In Active Transport, molecules move from _______ to _________ concentration. | In Active Transport, molecules move from LOW to HIGH concentration. |
| In Passive Transport, molecules move from _______ to _________ concentration. | In Passive Transport, molecules move from HIGH to LOW concentration. |
| In active transport, the size of the molecules is __________ | large |
| In passive transport, the size of the molecules is | small |
| Is there a need for ATP in active transport? | yes |
| Is there a need for ATP in passive transport? | no |
| What is the function of enzymes? | Enzymes speed up chemical reactions |
| What is a "lock and key" relationship between enzymes and their substrates? | A lock and key is shaped for a substance so the enzyme and substrate fit together like puzzle pieces |
| What are the 3 factors that control enzyme activity? | Temperature, PH level, Surface area or concentration |
| Cell Division: what types of cells do the process of mitosis? | All body cells |
| Cell Division: What type of cells do Meiosis? | Only cells that create gametes (sex cells) |
| Cell Division: How many daughter cells are produced in Mitosis? | 2 |
| Cell Division: How many daughter cells are produced in Meiosis? | half the amount of DNA |
| What two body systems work together to help the body perform locomotion? | Muscular and Skeletal Systems |
| What is locomotion? | Movement |
| What is bone marrow? | Soft tissue in the center and ends of bones: the RED part produces blood cells and the YELLOW part contains fat |
| What is cartilage? | Connective tissue at ends of bones TO CUSHION JOINTS |
| What is a tendon? | Connective tissue that connects MUSCLE TO BONE |
| What is a ligament? | Connective tissue that connects BONE TO BONE |
| Which two body systems help the body to maintain homeostasis? | Endocrine and nervous systems |
| How does the endocrine system work? | Releases chemicals into the blood from glands |
| What is a stimulus? What is an example? | A change in an organisms's surroundings that causes it to react . A loud car horn is a stimulus. |
| What is response? What is an example? | An action or change in behavior that occurs as a result of a stimulus. A dog running away is a response from the stimulus of a loud car horn |
| What is the overall function of the nervous system and its receptors? | RECEPTORS take in a stimuli, SENSORY NEURONS carry impulses TO the brain, INTERNEURONS transfer the impulse, MOTOR NEURON carries impulse AWAY from the brain to the muscles, EFFECTORS make the muscle or gland respond |
| What are 3 differences between the endocrine and nervous systems? | Nervous system has short responses, Endocrine system has long responses, the Endocrine system puts chemicals into the blood to regulate the body |
| What is the main function of the digestive system? | Break down food into small nutrients and molecules |
| What is mechanical digestion, and give an example | Physical break down of food = chewing, grinding, or mastication of food in your mouth |
| What is chemical digestion and give an example. | Digestive enzymes breaking chemical bonds in food = Starches are broken down into sugar |
| What is peristalsis? | The way muscles squeeze like a wave to move substances through |
| Where does peristalsis occur? | Esophagus: The wave of peristalsis moves food from the mouth to the stmach |
| Define arteries | Blood vessels that carry blood AWAY from the heart |
| Define veins | Blood vessels that carry blood TO the heart |
| Define capallaries | TINY blood vessels where substances are exchanged between the blood and cells of the body |
| Define RED BLOOD CELLS | blood cells that take up oxygen in the lungs and delivers the oxygen to cells around the body |
| Define White blood cells | blood cells that fight disease |
| Define Plasma: | The liquid part of the blood. Chemical reactions take place there too |
| Define platelets | Cell fragments that form blood clots |

| How does the INFLAMMATORY RESPONSE provide a line of defense of the immune system? | White blood cells engulf foreign invadors |
| How does a n IMMUNE RESPONSE provide a line of defense of the immune system? | Antigens on the pathogen surface stimulate production of antibodies |
| What is a vaccine? | A shot which is a weakened or dead form of a disease |
| How does a vaccine work? | The body produces antibodies in response to vaccines and stores them in memory cells |
| How is the Antibody-Antigen relationship similar to the Hormone-Organ relationship? | They are specific and fit like lock and key |
| Describe the cause, effect, and prevention of AIDS | The cause is a virus spread by body fluids, the effect is immune cells become viral factories, the prevention is safe sex and no needles |
