Anatomical Terms
The directional term that means "toward or at the front of the body"
What is anterior (or ventral)
What is a monomer of a nucleic acids?
What is a nucleotide?
The four major elements that compose the majority of the human body.
What are Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, and Oxygen?
This organelle packages and modifies proteins and sends them out through vesicles
What is the golgi bodies?
When a mixture is clearly uniform with molecules clearly looking like one phase?
What is homogenous?
The regional term referring to the central axis of the body, which includes the head, neck, and trunk.
What is the axial division?
The process that breaks apart polymers by adding water is called?
What is hydrolysis?
A + BC -> AC + B
What type of reaction is this?
What is an exchange reaction?
Organelles known as the "powerhouses" of the cell because they generate most of the cell's ATP.
What are mitochondria?
In a solution where particles are evenly spread out but do not settle out and scatter light (like a Jell-O mold), which is this?
Colloid
The ventral body cavity that houses the heart and lungs, containing both the pleural and pericardial cavities.
What is the thoracic cavity?
Specialized proteins that catalyze chemical reactions using a specific lock-and-key fit when paired with the correct substrate?
What are enzymes?
This property of water allows for water to have most of its unique properties.
What is polarity
What happens to red blood cells placed in a hypotonic solution versus a hypertonic solution.
What is hemolysis (swelling/bursting) and crenation (shrinking)?
What is the difference between a compound and a mixture?
Two or more substances physically combined without chemical bonding versus two or more elements chemically bonded in a fixed, definite ratio.
This sectional term describes the human body cut in half from top to bottom.
What is the transverse plane?
Phospholipids makes up most of the plasma membrane, controlling if materials can pass through the membrane. What special properties allows them to do this?
What is the polar heads/non polar tails?
Kinetic energy is energy in action and potential energy has the potential for energy to occur. Name an energy example that belongs to kinetic and potential.
Potential - chemical, elastic, gravitational
Kinetic - mechanical, thermal, sound, light, electrical
Why are glycocalyx important?
They act as markers for the cell to be recognized as safe.
Chemical reactions that absorb and store net energy in bonds (anabolic/synthesis)
Endergonic
The head is _____________ to the neck, whilst the shoulder is ___________ to the elbow.
What is superior and proximal?
What type of macromolecule is ATP?
What is a nucleic acid?
This type of bond is the strongest of the bond due to opposite forces. Electrons are not shared but transferred
What is ionic bonding?
What is the main difference between tight junctions and desmisomes
Desmisomes mainly work to make sure cells do not give out by handling stress, tight junctions are to make sure nothing leaks out
Chemical reactions that break bonds and release net energy to their surroundings (catabolic/decomposition).
What is exergonic?
