This is the largest internal cellular structure and is the cell's control center.
What is the nucleus?
This type of connective tissue predominates in the deep portion of the dermis, where it lends strength to the skin
This term is used to refer to an organism's ability to regulate its internal environment despite changes in the external environment
What is homeostasis
In a chemical reaction where an electron is exchanged from one reactant to another, the structure that loses an electron is this

What is catabolic and exergonic
Movement of a substance from an area of higher concentration to one where it is less concentrated is known as this.
What is diffusion?
These consist of a single layer of flattened cells attached directly to a basement membrane.
What are simple squamous epithelium cells?
If your body temperature starts to decline, your body responds by exciting skeletal muscles so that you shiver and your temperature returns to normal. This is an example of this.
What is negative feedback?
According to the second law of thermodynamics, when energy is transformed from one kind to another some of it is converted to this.
What is heat?
This includes in order glycolysis, intermediate stage, citric acid cycle, and the electron transport system
What is cellular respiration?
This is the process of prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
