QuestionAnswer
the chemical level deals with atoms and molecules
the levels of organization 1. chemical
the levels of organization 2. oraganelle
the levels of organization 3. cell
the levels of organization 4. tissue
the levels of organization 5. organ
the levels of organization 6. organ system
the levels of organization 7. organism
matter is composed of liquid, gases and solids
liquid, gases and solids are matter
atoms are composed of protons, neutrons and electrons
oxygen symbol O
carbon symbol C
hydrogen symbol H
Nitrogen symbol N
calcium symbol Ca
Phosphorus symbol P
Sulfur symbol S
Potassium symbol K
the simplest chemical component of matter is element
atoms will bind with other atoms to form molecules
atoms with a charge are called ions
a weak bond that occurs between a positively charged hydrogen atom and a negatively charged oxygen or nitrogen atom hydrogen bond
the human body is approximately how much water 50 to 75 percent
what body fluids are not considered pure water tears, saliva and plasma
every solution is composed of two basic parts solutes and solvent
comparing solutions is tonicity
a molecule that releases hydrogen when added to water is acid
the higher PH is alkalosis
the lower PH is acidosis
the four major type of organic molecules carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids
1. main energy source for cells 2. stored energy source carbohydrates
building blocks for carbohydrates monosaccharides
1.Glucose 2. Glycogen carbohydrates
glycogen is a starch found in muscle and liver
glucose is found is a sugar found in blood
building blocks for lipids are fatty acids and glycerol
lipid location of the body is adipose tissue, hormones found in blood and cell membranes
fats, steroids and phospholipids are lipids
1. stored energy 2. regulate the body. 3. give structure to the cell and regulate what goes in and out of the cell Lipid
building blocks of amino acids protein
location of the body for protein skin, blood, everywhere, muscles and cell membranes
1. give strength 2. regulate the body3. transport other molecules 4. aid in chemicals reactions 5. fight foreign invaders 6. allow for contractions of muscles 7. holds cells together protein
keratin and collagen, hormone, transport proteins, enzymes protein
building blocks for nucleotides are nucleic acid
nucleus of a cell and many places in a cell nucleic acid
DNA & RNA are Nucleic acid
molecules of different types come together to form organelles
the organelles are suspended within the cell in a fluid called cytoplasm
protein fibers organizes the organelles within the cytoplasm is called cytoskeleton
gives structures to the cell, defining what is intracellular cell membrane
move in wakelike motion to move materials past the cell cilia
hairlike extension of cell membrane cilia
provide extra surface area for the cell microvilli
houses DNA Nucleus
carry out cellular respiration and process the energy released to form ATP Mitochondria
assemble amino acids into proteins ribosomes
1. site of protein production 2. site of lipid production endoplasmic reticulum (ER)
receives and modifies proteins and lipids produced in the cell golgi complex
carry materials from golgi complex to the cell membrane for export outside the cell secretory vesicles
store and isolate enzymes often used for intracellular digestion until they are needed lysosomes
to regulate what may enter or leave the cell by a process called membrane transport
can move materials across the cell membrane in either direction passive transport
passive transport method that moves materials across call membrane using force but no energy filtration
all atoms and molecules maintain a constant state of motion simple diffusion
heat causes molecules to move faster temperature
heavy proteins move slower thank lighter, smaller molecules such as electrolytes and gases diffuse faster molecular weight
the amount of difference in concentration on either side of the membrane concentration gradient
the speed of diffusion is increased with greater surface area so there is more membrane for this to occur membrane surface area
passive transport method is used for molecules that cannot diffuse through the selectively permeable membrane on their own such as glucose facilitated diffusion
a solution may be _____ hypertonic, isotonic and hypotonic
other name for genetic code DNA
in any reaction you start with ______ reactants and end with products
white blood cells need many ________ containing digestive enzymes to destroy bacteria lysosomes
white blood cells that_____ eat and destroy bacteria do not need the same relative amounts of organelles phagocytize
what molecule is found between the fatty acid chains of the phospholipids cholesterol
to regulate what may enter or leave the cell by a process called membrane transport
an important homeostasis concept is fluid and electrolyte balance osmosis
moves materials into the cell in bulk endocytosis
moves materials out of the cell in bulk exocytosis
protein synthesis making protein
protein synthesis is a two stage process transcription and translation
transcription must happen first in nucleus
translation happens at the ribosome
Two types of of cell division meiosis and mitosis
involved only in sperm and egg production meiosis
the process all other cells use to divide and it is necessary for the development of the human anatomy mitosis
mitosis stage 1 prophase
mitosis stage 2 metaphase
mitosis stage 3 anaphase
mitosis stage 4 telophase
sequences of nucleotides that provide a protective cap on the ends of chromosomess Telomeres
study of tissues histology
the four basic classifications of tissues are epithelial, connective, muscle and nervous
covers organs, vessels and ducts and line hollow organ, vessels and ducts epithelial tissues
squamous cells flat and thin
cuboidal cube shaped
columnar tall column shaped
separates epithelial tissue from other tissues is basement membrane
tissues layering is described fin three ways epithelial tissue, stratified epithelial, pseudostratified
connective tissues all have cells and fibers in a matrix
a loose arrangement of fibers in a matrix with a thick fluid consistency is called loose/ areolar connective tissue
loose/ areolar connective tissue is found in the middle layer of the skin ( dermis ) and between the serous layers of the mesenteries
mostly dense bundles of collagen ( protein) fibers that runs parallel to each other dense regular connective tissue
fiber making cells are occasionally interspersed between fibers fibroblasts
the cells in this tissue are not able to move immobile
