| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is the function of the Cell membrane | outer covering of cell (protects cell) |

| What is the function of the Nucleus | Controls cell activity (contains 23 pairs of Chromosomes) |
| What is the function of the Mitochondria | Energy Source, Power Source (Makes ATP) (Like little batteries floating around) |
| What is the function of the Endoplasmic reticulum | Carries everything around (sub-way system) |
| Define Energy | Ability to do work |
| Define Metabolism | Sum total of all chemical reactions that take place in the body |
| Building up phase | Anabolism |
| Break down phase | Catabolism |
| Which phase requires (uses) energy? | Anabolism |
| Which phase gives off (produces) energy? | Catabolism |
| Define Tissue | Groups of similar cells working together to perform a specific function |
| Define an organ | Group of two or more tissues working together to perform a complex function or common goal |

| What type of tissue forms skin and membranes? | Epithelial |
| What type of tissue forms bone and fascia? | Connective tissue |
| Which type of tissue contracts, enabling movement? | Muscle |
| Which type of tissue relays electrical impulses? | Nervous |
| The maintenance of a steady state within the body's physical and chemical environment is termed | Homeostasis |
| Define diffusion | The movement of particles - anything except water - from an area of greater concentration to lesser concentration |
| Define osmosis | The movement of water from lesser to greater, thin to thick (greater concentration) |

| Special Senses | Vision, hearing |
| What term describes a life threatening tumor | Malignant |
| What term describes a slower growing tumor, not life threatening | benign |
| What term designates the spread of a malignancy | metastasis |
| What term for malignancies of the epithelial tissue | carcinoma |
| What term for malignancies of the connective tissue | Sarcoma |
