QuestionAnswer
The body as a whole can be subdivided in to two major divisions. They are: axial and appendicular.
the atomic number tells you the number of protons in the ncleus.
as the concentration of hydrogen ions increases, the pH goes---, and the solution becomes more --- down; acidic
what decomposition reaction requires the addition of a water molecule to break a bound? hydrolysis
as the concentration of hydroxide ions increases, the solution becomes more basic, pH rises.
the reaction between hydrogen and oxygen needed to form water is an example of a synthesis reaction.
atoms with fewer than eight electrons in the outer energy level will attempt to lose, gain, or share electrons with other atoms to achieve stability. this tendency is called the octet rule.
hydrolysis --- a water molecule. breaks down compounds by adding
which subatomic particle carry a charge? protons and electrons
as a result of which reaction during catabolism is a water molecule added to break a large compound into smaller subunits? hydrolysis.
which of the following is not a subatomic particle? radon
the most abundant element essential life is carbon.
Ionic bonds are chemical bonds formed by the transfer of electrons from one atom to another
hydrogen bonds result from unequal charge distribution on a molecule. such molecules are said to be polar
the element oxygen has an atomic number of 8, which means it contains: eight protons
the water molecule has two distinct ends, each with a partial electrical charge. because of this structure, water is said to be polar
electrolytes are: called cations if they have a positive charge.
the type of chemical reaction most likely to require energy is a ---reaction. synthesis
for sodium to transform from a neutral atom to a positive ion, it must: lose an electron.
acids release hydrogen ions
a force holding two atoms together is a chemical bond
chemical bonds formed by the sharing of electrons covalent
a chemical bond formed by the sharing of one or more pairs of electrons between the outer shells of two atoms is called a ---bond. covalent
an element that contains the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons is called an isotope.
the total number of electrons in a neutral atom equals the number of protons in its nucleus.
a molecule that is polar: can form a hydrogen bond, has an unequal charge.
which type of chemical reaction results in the breakdown of a complex substance into two or more simpler substances? decomposition reaction
a substance that cannot be broken down or decomposed into two or more different substances is called an element
what term is used to describe all of the chemical reactions that occur in body cell? metabolism
the inguinal region lies where the thigh joins the trunk
an example of a tissue in the body is epithelium
---refers to an inner region of an organ, whereas ---refers to an outer region or layer of an organ. medullary; cortical
the plasma membrane is composed of all of the following: phospholipids, cholesterol, glycoproteins.
this organelle is numerous in liver and kidney cells peroxisome
ribosomes are organelles that float in the cytoplasm and attach to the endoplasmic reticulum.
ribosomes may be either free within the cytoplasm or bound to a membrane system known as the rough endoplasmic reticulum
the inside of the cell is composed largely of a gel like substance called cytoplasm
which of the following is a type of cell extension that lines the intestines and other areas of the body? microvilli
phospholipids of the plasma membrane are arranged as a bilayer with their non polar tails sandwiched between the polar heads.
this membranous organelle contains oxidase and catalase enzymes peroxisome
Cisternae of this organelle are continuous with the nuclear envelope. rough endoplasmic reticulum
which of the following cytoskeleton elements are the largest in diameter? microtubules
cytoskeleton element: microtubule, intermediate filament, microfilament
this organelle has both a cis and a trans face Golgi apparatus
in the matrix of the plasma membrane, a variety of proteins are embedded. some of these proteins serve as passageway for Na+ ions or glucose. these proteins are called: transport proteins
the only organelle that has a double membrane structure is the mitochondrion.
the two major categories of body membranes are epithelial and connective
which type of tissue has cube shaped cells and can be found lining the kidney tubules? simple cuboidal epithelium
the dermis is composed of two layers, a thin papillary layer and a thick ----layer. reticular
which of the following contains intercalated disks? cardiac muscle
the eipdermis is composed of several types of epithelial cells. one type, called keratinocytes, become filled with a tough, fibrous protein called keratin
the most abundant and widespread tissue in the body is connective
the ----junction glues the epidermis and dermis together and provides mechanical support for the epidermis dermoepidermal
the fluid environment that fills the spaces between the cells of the body is called extracellular matrix.
fibrocartilage can be found in the symphysis pubis
cartilage is classified as ---tissue. connective
what structures firmly hold the foot bones firmly in their arched position? ligaments and tendons
the largest sesamoid bone in the body is the patella
---fibers are present in all three types of cartilage, but they are most numerours in fibrocartilage. collagenous
bone marrow is a specialized type of soft, diffuse connective tissue called myeloid tissue.
the bone that claims the distinction of being the only bone in the body that articulates with no other bones is the hyoid.
