A & P 101
This process describes the body's ability to maintain a stable internal environment.
What is homeostasis?
This major molecule in the body has the potential energy needed for many of the body's processes.
What is ATP?
This organelle is responsible for synthesizing proteins.
What is a ribosome?
This type of diffusion moves water from high to low concentration.
What is osmosis?
This phase of mitosis occurs when all of the chromosomes are lined up at the center of the cell.
What is metaphase?
Labor is an example of this type of feedback mechanism.
What is positive feedback?
Organic compounds contain this element of the periodic table.
What is carbon?
This organelle is responsible for synthesizing lipids.
What is the smooth endoplasmic reticulum?
This is the ratio of K+ to Na+ exchanged during the sodium-potassium pump.
What is 3Na+ per 2 K+?
This phase of mitosis occurs when the chromosomes condense and the nuclear envelope breaks down.
What is prophase?
This step of the scientific method requires a scientist look at the data that they got from their experiment.
What is analyze results?
This type of substance is categorized by having a pH lower than 7.
What is an acid?
What is the peroxisome?
This type of endocytosis describes the process for taking in extracellular fluid.
What is pinocytosis?
In this phase of mitosis, the movements of the cell are opposite to that of prophase.
What is telophase?
This is the basic unit of life.
What is the cell?
Nucleotides are the building blocks of this macromolecule.
What are nucleic acids?
This organelle bulges up with proteins and releases secretory vesicles to transport the proteins throughout the body.
What is the golgi apparatus?
This type of endocytosis is specific toward large particles that are brought in by the cell.
What is phagocytosis?
In this phase of mitosis, chromosomes start moving toward opposite sides of the cell.
What is anaphase?
These are the three main parts of how a body maintains homeostasis.
What are receptor, control center, and effector?
What are the alpha-helix and beta-pleated sheet?
White blood cells are more likely to have this type of vesicle that breaks down old cell parts and bacteria.
What are lysosomes?
This type of endocytosis involves receptors on the outside of cells.
What is receptor-mediated endocytosis?
Beginning toward the end of anaphase and occurring during telophase, this process describes the splitting of the cytoplasm.
What is cytokinesis?
