| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Mitochondria | "powerhouse" provides energy needed by the cell to carry on day-to-day functioning, growth, and repair |
| 4 major principal tissue types: | epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous |
| 2 major portions of body | axial (head, neck and torso), appendicular (upper and lower extremities and their connections to the axial portion) |
| Homeostasis | relatively constant states maintained by the body |
| Intracellular Control | - regulation within cells - genes or enzymes can regulate cell procesees |
| Intrinsic Control | -regulation within tissues or organs - may involve chemical signals -may involve other "built-in" mechanisms |
| Extrinsic Control | -regulation from organ to organ -may involve nerve signals - may involve endocrine signals (hormones) |
| 4 major elements in human body | carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen |
| Octet rule | atoms with fewer or more than 8 electrons in other energy level will attempt to lose, gain or share electrons |
| Covalent Bonds | formed by sharing of electorn pairs |
| Monosaccharieds | simple sugars |
| Disaccharides / Polysaccharides | two or more simple sugars bonded through dehydration synthesis |
| Lipids | water insoluble |
| phospholipids | lipid compounds similar to triglycerides - 1 end water soluble (hydrophilic) other end is lipid soluble (hydrophobic) |
| DNA Base Pairs | A-T -- adenine - thymine G-C -- guanine - cytosine |
| Cell Structures | Plasma membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus |
| Rough endoplasmic reticulum | ribosomes do the outer surface of the membranous walls ribosomes synthesize protiens |
| Smooth endoplasmic reticulum | no ribosomes border the membranous walss |
| Ribosomes | make proteins |
| Golgi apparatus | processes protein molecules |
| Cytoskeleton | -made of tiny, flexible fibers and rigid, rodlike pieces - provides support for cell shape |
| Gap-Junctions | membrane channels of adjacent plasma membranes that adhere to each other |
| Tight-Junctions | occur in cells that are joined by "collars" of tightly fused material |
