TermDefinition
Definition of Homeostasis Refers to the maintenance of relatively constant internal conditions in the human body despite changes in the external or internal environment. This stability is essential for the survival and proper functioning of cells.
Negative Feedback Loops Negative feedback loops are inhibitory mechanisms that oppose changes in the internal environment, helping to restore stability.
Positive Feedback Loops Positive feedback loops are stimulatory mechanisms that amplify changes rather than opposing them. These loops are less common and typically occur in processes that need to be completed quickly
Examples of Negative Feedback Loops Body temperature regulation, Blood glucose regulation and Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide Regulation
Examples of Positive Feedback Loops Childbirth, Blood clotting and Immune response
The four major groups of organic substances are: Carbohydrates, Lipids, Proteins and Nucleic Acids
Comparison of DNA and RNA DNA: Double-stranded molecule with deoxyribose sugar and bases adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), and guanine (G) RNA: Single-stranded molecule with ribose sugar and bases adenine (A), uracil (U), cytosine (C), and guanine (G)
ATP and Energy Release ATP releases energy through the hydrolysis of its high-energy phosphate bonds: Reaction: ATP → ADP + Pi + Energy ATP provides energy for cellular processes like muscle contraction, active transport, and chemical synthesis.
Cellular Respiration Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose into ATP, the energy currency of the cell.
Importance of Cellular Respiration Cellular respiration provides the energy required for cellular functions, including growth, repair, and reproduction.

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.
