| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Regulation | coordination and control |
| Excretion | Removal of metabolic wastes |
| Nutrition | the process of consuming and utilizing food for growth, energy, and overall health |
| Metabolism | is required to keep organisms alive. |
| Homeostasis | helps organisms maintain relatively stable internal conditions. This is accomplished by organelles |
| Inorganic vs organic molecules | Organic contains Carbon (C) AND Hydrogen (H) |
| Building blocks | Starches → simple sugars Protein → amino acids Lipids → 3 fatty acids 1 glycerol |
| Active transport | moves molecules from L→H concentration and requires energy (ATP) |
| Diffusion/Passive Transport | move molecules from H → L concentrations |
| Denaturation | when an enzyme changes its shape due to high temperatures or pH. This will also have an effect on the rate of reaction |
| Enzymes | are specifically shaped to help synthesize molecules by influencing the rate at which the reaction occurs |
| Protein Synthesis | The cell uses the information from a gene on the chromosome in the nucleus and uses it to synthesize a specific protein |
| Lipid Molecule contains | 3 fatty acids and 1 glycerol |
| Circulatory | Transports oxygen, nutrients, and waste via blood |
| Excretory | Removes wastes like urea and CO2; maintains water and salt balance |
| Nervous | Sends electrical signals to detect and respond to stimuli |
| Respiratory | Exchanges gases—brings in O2 and releases CO2 |
| Immune | Protects against pathogens using white blood cells, antibodies, lymph nodes. |
| Antigens | found on pathogens and act as identifiers. |
