| cardiovascular system's role | to provide the body's cells with oxygen and nutrients. but not primarily responsible for the transport |
| after passing through the right ventricle of the heart during a contraction... | blood then travels through the tricuspid valve into pulmonary artery |
| respiratory system | responsible for supplying the body with oxygen and removing carbon dioxide |
| lining of hollow organs of the digestive system... | such as esophagus, stomach, and intestines, are comprised of smooth muscle tissue, which creates the peristalsis needed to push undigested food through the body |

| electrons | charge of 1- |
| spine | provide protection for spinal cord |
| density | the higher the density, slower the travel |
| acids | pH values of 1-7( 7 being neutral). so, a substance with a pH of 2 would be a strong acid |
| immune cells are produced where | the body's bone marrow |
| heart is located where | behind the sternum |
| alveoli | structures in the respiratory system in which the exchange of gases occurs |
| prokaryotic cell lacks what | a membrane-bound nucleus |
| genotype | comprised of its various genes, which are made of DNA |
| heterotrophs | mitochondria is the powerhouse of cells. |
| what does the mitochondria produce for the cells | ATP |
| ER | has ribosomes on surface giving it a rough characteristic |
| genes | composed of DNA |
| protein | composed of amino acids |
| covalent bonds | require sharing of electrons |
| ionic bonds | has electrons donated and accepted by atoms to complete the valence structure |
| germ cells | only cell capable of passing along mutations of off spring |
| DNA codons found in genes encode what | amino acids that make proteins |
| what is the cell response cycle | DNA of cells should be fully and correctly duplicated |

| what do heterotrophs do | release CO2 |
| what is CO2 used in heterotrophs | used to produce glucose in autotrophs during cellular respiration |
| oxygen | by product of glucose production in autotrophs that is used by heterotrophs for ATP production in cellular respiration |
| pancreas | component of endocrine system |
| food processing | after food passes through the stomach, it goes into the duodenum |
| Kenetic Energy equation | KE= 1/2MV^2= Joules |
| alleles of genes | form from genetic changes (mutations) which can occur in genes. these mutations modify the gene and produce a different allele |
