Body Cavities and More
This anatomical term means "toward the front" of the body.
Anterior
This is the specific number of electrons found in the second shell of an atom to make it stable.
The Octet rule (8)
This is the most common form of potential energy in the body; it is stored in a molecule's chemical bonds and is used for movement and synthesis.
Chemical Energy
These "water-fearing" tails of phospholipids face the center of the membrane. (Hydrophilic vs. Hydrophobic)
Hydrophobic
This organelle is known as the "control center" of the cell because it contains the genetic material (DNA).
Nucleus
This is the serous membrane layer that covers the external surface of an organ.
Visceral Layer
This is the specific term for an atom that has gained an electron and carries a negative charge.
Anion
In a chemical reaction, the substances that are present before the reaction starts (the starting materials) are called this.
Reactants
Membrane proteins are classified by their location. This specific type of protein is embedded within and extends across the entire phospholipid bilayer, often acting as a channel or carrier.
Integral Protein
This organelle contains digestive enzymes that break down damaged organelles (autophagy).
Lysosome
This body cavity, located within the thoracic cavity, contains the heart.
Pericardial cavity
While the atomic number tells you the number of protons, the Average Atomic Mass (listed on the periodic table) is calculated by adding the number of protons to the number of these neutral subatomic particles.
Neutrons
This term describes the "location" on an enzyme where the substrate binds and the chemical reaction occurs.
Active Site
This form of active transport uses a carrier to move two substances in the same direction.
Symport
These "hair-like" projections are longer than cilia and are used to propel an entire cell (like sperm).
