Mechanism that corrects a disturbance back to a set point? Negative feedback
Example of positive feedback Answer=NONE OF THE ABOVE (Regulation of body temp, regulation of blood glucose, all of the above. )
Example of positive feedback Answer= ALL OF THE ABOVE (Alcohol consumption, birthing process, none of the above)
Region of the body known as the neck Cervical
Region of the body known as the foot Pedal
Region of the body known as the front (bend) of the elbow? Antecubital
System of the body where our personality comes from and where memory is stored ? Nervous
The brain is ------ to the heart.? Superior
positively charged subatomic particles: Protons
Subatomic particle that orbits the nucleus electrons
The strongest chemical bond covalent
The chemical bond between water molecules Hydrogen
The body is made mostly of ? CHON (CARBON, HYDROGEN, OXYGEN, NITROGEN )
When atoms join together they make ? Molecules
The 2nd strongest bond? Ionic bond
A solution of body fluid from a patient has a PH of 10.0 This solution is considered: Basic
Helps speed a chemical reaction, but is not used up by the reaction: Enzymes
Building blocks (monomers) of carbohydrates; monosaccharides
Building blocks (monomers) of nucleic acids: nucleotides
Breaking down a protein into amino acids: Decomposition
A body solution was tested and found to be PH 2.0, this body solution is said to be: Acidic
NOT a lipid answer=Sucrose (cholesterol, sucrose, triglyceride, phospholipid)
Good energy sources: Answer=All of the above (Carbohydrates, lipids, all of the above, none of the above )
The sequence of ( BLANK) determines the shape of a protein: Amino acids
The ( BLANK) of a protein determines its ( BLANK) . shape; function
Examples of nucleic acids: Answer= ALL OF THE ABOVE (DNA, RNA, all of the above, none of the above)
DNA stores the instructions on how to make: Answer= ALL OF THE ABOVE ( proteins, DNA, all of the above, none of the above
Major macromolecule that stores our genetic information: Answer= NONE OF THE ABOVE ( carbohydrates, lipids, all of the above, none of the above).
The cell membrane is made mostly of: Phospholipid
The plasma membrane is said to be: Selectively permeable
Type of transport that requires direct use of ATP Active transport
Type of PASSIVE transport that requires a carrier or channel protein: facilitated diffusion
The diffusion of water : Osmosis
When a cell is placed in HYPERtonic solution, we can expect it to : Shrink and shrivel
The "powerhouse" of the cell because it generates alot of ATP: Mitochondria
The "control center" of the cell because it contains our DNA ( genetic information) Nucleus
Organelle that creates the mitotic spindle: Centrosome
Organelle that is essentially an enzyme for protein synthesis Ribosome
Organelle that contains enzymes that make lipids and carbohydrates and can detoxify certain poisons, drugs, and toxins Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
Phase of the cell cycle when our DNA is duplicated Interphase
Phase of mitosis when the nuclear envelope reappears and chromosomes unwind into chromatin Telophase
Phase of mitosis where the centromeres break and chromosomes migrate AWAY from each other Anaphase
DNA + Protein Chromatin
Highly compact Chromatin : Chromosome
What is osmosis? osmosis is the diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane.
Selectively permeable membrane= only allows for some substances to cross it and doesn't allow other substances to cross it.
What happens to a cells during Apoptosis? a regular process of death of the cell that occurs in the body where the cell itself takes part in the death (cell suicide)
What happens to cells during necrosis? is a cellular process of death occurring when the cells are highly exposed to extreme external conditions (unplanned cell death)
What are the levels or organization simplest to most complex? subatomic Atoms Macromolecules Organelles cells tissues organs organ systems organisms
Subatomic particles =pieces that come together to form an atom (protons, neutrons, electrons)
Atoms Small whole unit of an element (hydrogen)
Molecules 2 or more atoms that are chemically connected to each other (water )
Macromolecules Very large molecules (proteins)
organelles The organs of a cell ( mitochondria )
cells The smallest whole unit of life (myocyte neuron)
tissues A group of cells working together (epitheleal)
organs A group of tissues working together ( heart and liver )
organ systems A group of organs working together (cardiovascular system)
organisms One living thing, example ( plant animal, fungi) most complex
Why can some atoms of the same element have different mass numbers ? This is because the number of neutrons can differ Atoms of the same element that have different # of neutrons , thus different mass # called isotopes.
How do you find the atomic mass? Protons+neutrons=ATOMIC MASS
How do you find the atomic number ? Proton number or the number of protons
If an atom has 17 electrons , 17 protons and 18 neutrons. what is the atomic number, and atomic mass ? ATOMIC NUMBER=17 ATOMIC MASS=35
How many electrons would you put in each shell? Shell 1: 2in and can hold 2 Shell 2: 8 in and can hold 8 Shell 3 : 7 in and can hold 8
What happens to a solution as the hydrogen ion (H+) concentration increases or decreases? As the concentration of (H+) increases, a solution becomes more acidic and the PH value decreases.
What are the ranges of the PH scale ? 0-14
PH of 7 Neutral
PH below 7 acidic
PH above 7 Basic
Stages of mitosis Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase
Prophase Chromosomes become visible , nucleus is breaking down.
metaphase Chromosomes meet in the middle of the cell.
anaphase Chromosomes split apart and go to opposite ( away ) sides of the cell.
telophase The cell begins to split into 2 sister cells.
What are the differences between DNA and RNA? DNA ( Double strand, long lasting molecule, takes longer to make, in the NUCLEUS, uses ATGC. RNA ( Single strand, short lasting molecule, takes shorter to create, outside the nucleus, uses AUGC.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
