QuestionAnswer
Metabolism The sum of all chemical reactions in the body
Cellular Metabolism The chemical reactions in a cell
Catabolism Breaks down larger molecules into smaller molecules to from ATP
Anabolism Builds larger molecules, and requires ATP
Enzymes They control the rate of metabolic reactions
How do enzymes speed up chemical reactions They lower the activation energy
Cellular respiration The process your cells use to turn glucose and oxygen into ATP
Most important product that comes from glycolysis, Krebs cycle, & electron transport chain 2 ATP and CO2
Glycolysis Breaks down glucose (sugar)
Where does Glycolysis occur In cytosol
Which of the three reactions involved in cellular respiration of glucose, which produces the most ATP Electron Transport chain
Which reaction occurs in the mitochondria Critic acid cycle and electron transport chain
What is the total of ATP molecules produced from the complete catabolism of 1 molecule of glucose 32 ATP
Base pairing rule for DNA structure Base pair only with specific partner
A T
T A
C G
G C
What do you call the process of making protein from mRNA Translation
Where does making protein from mRNA happen Moves out nucleus into cytoplasm
Gene A single instruction
Genome All the instructions
Transcription Copies one gene from DNA to mRNA it happens so the cell can make protein. end result: mRNA not DNA
Replication Makes full copy of DNA, happens before cell divides. end result 2 identical DNA molecule
Basic functions of connective tissues Bind, support, protect, serve as framework, fill spaces, store fats, help repair tissue damage, protect against infection and produce blood cells
Simple squamous epithelium Single layer of thin, flattened cell
Stratified squamous epithelium Many cell layers flattened
Functions of simple squamous epithelium Diffusion and filtration
Pseudostratified columnar epithelium Appears layered but they are not
Simple columnar epithelium Single layers of tall, rectangular cells. Absorption and secretion
Merocrine Secrete by exocytosis
Holocrine Release entire cells filled with product
What kind of connective tissue stores lipids and insulates the internal organs Adipose
What kind of connective tissue is found in tendons and ligaments Fibroblasts
What kind of fibers is fibroblast composed of Collagen fibers
Fibrocartilage Very tough and shock absorber in vertebral discs
Hyaline cartilage Most common type found on the ends of bones in joints
Osteoblasts Bone building cells that form new bone tissue
Osteocytes Mature bone cells within bone matrix, acts as sensors to maintain bone health
Osteon bone
What is the only connective tissue with a liquid matrix Blood
What is the liquid matrix called Plasma
What is an example of a "formed element" in blood RBC's
What kind of membrane lines cavities that ultimately open to the outside of the body Mucus membrane
Function of serous membrane To secrete serous fluid
What fluid is located between layers of serous membrane Serous fluid
What type of muscle fibers are straited Skeletal muscles
Which type of muscle fibers contract involuntarily and are non-striated Smooth muscles
Which type of striated muscle fibers contrast voluntarily Multinucleated fibers
Where are smooth muscles located In the walls of hollow organs, blood vessels
2 types of cells found in central nervous system Neurons and Neuroglia
How do macrophages defend against infection Through phagocytosis
