Systems
The tissue that protects bones from wearing down at joints is called:
Cartilage
The site where water is reabsorbed in the digestive tract it:
The large intestine.
Which cell serves as the interface (go between) the innate and adaptive immune system?
Helper T Cell
What stage of photosynthesis is oxygen produced?
Light Reactions
Name three processes that are anaerobic.
What is the name of the strongest bone in the human body? HINT: It's your thigh bone.
Femur
The structures in the lungs where carbon dioxide and oxygen are exchanged are called:
Alveoli
Name three components of your innate immunity.
Physical barriers.
Macrophages/Phagocytic Cells.
Inflammatory response.
Name the two products of the light reactions that are needed for the Calvin Cycle.
To make ATP and NADPH
What is the molecule created in between Glycolysis and Krebs that starts the citric acid cycle?
Acetyl-CoA
The tissue that connects bone to bone is called:
A ligament.
What is the function of a nephron and in which organ is it found?
Nephron filters blood and reabsorbs water and is found in the kidney.
Name four immune cells of your adaptive immunity.
Memory T Cells
Memory B Cells
Plasma B Cells
Explain the purpose of making ATP and NADPH in the light reactions.
ATP is the energy used for building sugar. NADPH provides the hydrogens to add to the carbon dioxide to make sugar.
What is the molecular formula for glucose?
C6H12O6
The gland that secretes the majority of your digestive enzymes is:
The pancreas
What is the purpose of the excretory system?
To remove nitrogenous (protein) waste.
Name the functions of all four cell types of your adaptive immunity.
Cytotoxic T Cells: kill infected cells
Memory T Cells: remember invader
Plasma B Cells: secrete antibodies
Memory B Cells: remember invader
Where do the atoms to make glucose come from? C6H12O6
Carbon dioxide and water.
The carbons and oxygens of glucose are released as CO2. What are the hydrogens of glucose used for?
To establish a proton gradient to power ATP synthase.
The two hormones secreted by the pancreas are:
Insulin and Glucagon
Name three types of blood vessels and their importance in the movement of blood in the body.
Veins: carry blood back to the heart
Arteries: carry blood away from the heart
Capillaries: thin vessels that act as the site of diffusion and osmosis
Explain the difference between the humoral and cell mediated response
Humoral is the blood based response and deals with free-floating pathogens. B-cells are involved this response.
Cell mediated is the tissue based response and deals with pathogens like viruses that are inside of host cells. T-cells are involved in this response.
What is the name of the pores in the plants leaves?
Stomata
How many ATP are made at each step of cell respiration?
Glycolysis 2
Krebs 2
ETC 34
