What is metabolism?

Conditions exceeding a set limit in one direction trigger a negative reaction in the opposite direction. This reaction restores the system to the set point.
What is negative feedback loop?
The smallest structural unit of living things, which carry on all of the functions of life

What is the posterior/dorsal body cavity?
Carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, nucleic acid
What are major classes of organic molecules?
The principle that states that function is dependent on structure, and that the form of a structure relates to its function.
What is complementarity of structure and function?
Occurs during pregnancy, when antibodies are passed from the the mother to fetus via the placenta or infant via the mother's breast milk
What is natural passive immunity?
Defined as cells changing in structure with an uncontrolled growth pattern
What is neoplasia?
Structure that divides the thoracic and abdominalpelvic cavities?
