Question
Answer
Reproductive cloning   embroy is implanted in a surrogate mother  
🗑
therapeutic cloning   produce embryonic stem cells  
🗑
embryo   human offspring in initial developmental stage; stages following conception up to the end of the 8th week.  
🗑
blastocyst   embyronic stage  
🗑
homeostasis   in response to changes in external conditions, ex: temp. regulation  
🗑
metabolism   chemical activity that provides nutrient and energy to substain life  
🗑
3 levels that living things function and interaction at   cellular level, organismal level, population level  
🗑
Emergent properties   new properties emerge as a result of interactions among components at the lower level  
🗑
True of false, all forms of life have DNA as their genetic blue print   True  
🗑
Inductive Reasoning   Study specific cases to discover the general principals  
🗑
Deductive Reasoning   use general principals to explain specific observation  
🗑
theory   set of hypotheses that have been tested many times and not rejected.  
🗑
Where does the emergence of biological function starts at?   at the chemical level; everything an organism is and does depends on chemistry.  
🗑
What are the 4 naturally occurring elements in the human body?   oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen (OCHN)  
🗑
what is matter made up of?   elements  
🗑
Does different elements have different types of atom?   yes  
🗑
what does an atom's nucleus contain?   protons and neutrons  
🗑
How is an atom held together?   by attractions between the positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons  
🗑
how much does a proton weigh?   1 amu  
🗑
how much does a neutron weigh?   bit more than 1 amu because it is thought of as one proton plus one electron  
🗑
3 kinds of chemical bonds?   ionic, covalent, hydrogen  
🗑
What's stronger, ionic or covalent bonds?   covalent bonds  
🗑
compound   two or more chemical elements combined in fixed ratios; example is sodium chloride (table salt). Made from ionic bonds  
🗑
molecule   group of atoms held together by covalent bonds  
🗑
hydrogen bonds   formed by the attraction betwn partially positive hydrogen atoms and partially neg. atoms like Oxygen, Nitrogen, or Fluorine  
🗑
hydrogen weak or strong?   a single hydrogen bond is weak, but a great # of hydrogen bonds is strong  
🗑
emergent properties of water   cohesion (adhesion), water moderates temp. change, ice floats, good solvent  
🗑
cohesion   attraction of water molecules to other water molecules; surface tension  
🗑
adhesion   attraction of water molecules to other polar molecules; capillary action allowing water to be pulled up a plant  
🗑
why does water resist temp. change?   because the energy put in is first use to break hydrogen bond (which takes a lot of energy) and then the atoms speed up  
🗑
water have high or low heat of vaporization?   HIGH  
🗑
hydrophobic (water-fearing)   nonpolar molecules, do not form hydrogen bond, not soluble  
🗑
ionization   spontaneous ion formation )  
🗑
does water ionize commonly?   no, because the covalent bonds are so strong  
🗑
pH of blood   7.39-7.45  
🗑
buffers   hydrogen ion reservoirs that take up or release H+ as needed  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
