| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is homeostasis? | Homeostasis is the process of keeping the body’s internal conditions, like temperature and oxygen levels, relatively constant so that cells can function properly. |
| What are some examples of large biomolecules made in the body? | Examples of large biomolecules include carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins. |
| What is the cell life cycle, and why is it important? | The cell life cycle includes cell growth and reproduction. It’s important because it allows the body to grow, repair, and pass on genetic information to new cells and future generations. |
| What is a tissue? | A tissue is a group of similar cells that work together to perform a common function. |
| What are the two main types of connective tissues that make up the skeleton? | The two main types are bone and cartilage. |
| What is an articulation, and what are its types of movement? | An articulation, or joint, is where two bones meet. Some joints allow a lot of movement, while others—like the sutures in the skull—are immovable or only allow limited motion. |
| Why is the movement of phospholipids and proteins in the membrane important? | Their movement keeps the membrane flexible and helps the cell control what enters and exits, communicate, and stay supported. |
| What is DNA and what is its main function? | DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is the molecule that stores genetic information and provides instructions for building proteins and controlling traits. |
| What is the difference between negative and positive feedback in homeostasis? | Negative feedback reverses a change to bring the body back to normal (like sweating to cool down), while positive feedback strengthens a change (like stronger contractions during labor). |
| What are the three main layers of the skin? | The three main layers of the skin are the epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous tissue (hypodermis). |
