| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| homeostasis | the tendency toward a relatively stable equilibrium between interdependent elements, especially as maintained by physiological processes. |
| Biomolecules | organic molecules produced by living organisms, essential for life processes |
| DNA | is a complex molecule that contains the genetic instructions for the development, functioning, and reproduction of all living organisms |
| Cell Membrane | a thin, selectively permeable barrier that surrounds and protects all cells |
| Fluid Mosaic Model | describes the cell membrane as a dynamic, fluid structure made of a mosaic of lipids, proteins, and carbohydrates. |
| Cellular Communication | the process by which cells send and receive signals to coordinate their activities, respond to their environment, and maintain proper function. |
| Skin | the outer covering of a body that acts as a protective barrier against infection and injury, regulates body temperature, and contains sensory nerve endings for touch and pain. |
| Tissue | a group of similar cells that work together to perform a specific function |
| Skeletal structure function | provide support and structure for the body, protect vital organs, facilitate movement by acting as a lever system for muscles, and produce blood cells. |
| Myosin and Actin | two proteins essential for muscle contraction and other forms of cell movement. |
| RNA | is a single-stranded nucleic acid molecule found in all living cells that plays a key role in protein synthesis and regulating gene expression |
| Circadian cycles | the body's natural 24-hour rhythm that regulates various physiological and behavioral processes, including sleep, wakefulness, body temperature, and hormone production. |
| Creatine phosphate | a high-energy phosphate compound found primarily in muscle cells |
| Unsaturated fats | a type of fat molecule that contain one or more double bonds between carbon atoms in their fatty acid chains. |
| Endocytosis | the process by which a cell takes in molecules, particles, and even other cells from the outside by engulfing them with the cell membrane. |
| Diffusion | the movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. |
| Hypodermis | the deepest layer of skin that lies beneath the dermis |
| Nervous system | a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to control and coordinate all bodily functions |
| Pelvic outlet | the lower opening of the pelvis, located at the inferior border of the true pelvis. |
| Vision | the physical ability to see, an imagined or supernatural sight, and a forward-looking idea or goal |
| Endoplasmic reticulum and golgi apparatus difference | the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) synthesizes and modifies proteins and lipids, while the Golgi apparatus sorts, further modifies, and packages them for transport to their final destinations. |
| Aquaporins | are specialized protein channels embedded in cell membranes that facilitate the rapid and selective transport of water and other small molecules, such as glycerol, across the membrane. |
