Basic Chemistry
This is the smallest unit of matter
What is an atom?
What is glucose?
This small organelle, which can sometimes be found studded in another organelle, makes proteins.
What is a ribosome?
This tissue is on the front lines, providing the surfaces and membranes of the body.
What is epithelial tissue?
H+ stands for this ion, which is found in acidic solutions from 0-7 on the ph scale.
What is a hydrogen ion?
Glucose is an example of this type of macromolecule.
What is a carbohydrate?
This organelle acts as the postal service of the cell, wrapping cell products in membranes that it pinches off from its own folds.
What is a Golgi body/apparatus?
Bones, blood, fat and cartilage are examples of this type of tissue.
What is connective tissue?
This strong bond involves sharing electrons.
What is a covalent bond?
This type of macromolecule is used to write our genetic code.
What are nucleic acids?
Phospholipids make up this organelle.
What is a cell membrane?
Cardiac, skeletal and smooth are the three types of this tissue.
What is muscular tissue?
This weak bond is possible because oxygen is such an electron hog in a water molecule.
What is a hydrogen bond?
This type of macromolecule doesn't like water, forms the building blocks of our cell membranes, and provides energy storage, cushioning and insulation in our body.
What are lipids?
Carcinogens would have to break into this organelle to mutate DNA and cause cancer.
What is a nucleus?
This tissue serves as the messenger service of the body, sending and receiving signals.
What is nervous tissue?
This is a term for physiologically useful ions such as K+.
What is an electrolyte?
This type of macromolecule is built from amino acids.
What is a protein?
This process requires ATP to move substances against their concentration gradient.
What is active transport?
These two types of muscular tissue are not under voluntary control.
