What is the relationship between form and function?

Form follows function. How something is designed to work relates to the shape of it. 

100

How much of the body is composed of water?

50-70%

100

Define Homeostasis. 

Keeping physiological conditions within a narrow range for health and stabililty. 

100

What are the 4 major elements in the body?

Oxygen, Carbon, Hydrogen, and Nitrogen.

100

Is water considered the solvent or solute?

Solvent. 

200

Would Ca^2+ go into the atomic or molecular category?

Atomic

200

What is oxygen required for to produce?

ATP 

200

An effector can either inhibit or excite. What do those two words mean in the context of the homeostatic control mechanism?

Inhibition: turning off what is causing imbalance

Excitiation: turning on what is causing imbalance

200

What is the term for a positively charged ion? Negatively charged?

Cation (+)

Anion (-)

200

When something does not dissolve in H20 it is considered: 

hydrophobic. 

300

How would a molecule be defined?

Atoms sharing an energy relationship.

300

What are the 5 requirements of life?

Oxygen, water, atmospheric pressure, nutrients, and temperature. 

300

What part of the control mechanism determines the Set Point?

Control Center

300

Is a molecule is nonpolar how would you describe its sharing of electrons?

equal. 

300

What is my major?

Kinesiology

400

Describe the outcomes to the Human Body Hierarchy if cells were to rapidly reproduce.

This would be cancer. A malfunction would then occur with the tissue level, organs would perhaps then not work properly, organ systems would not, and eventually the whole body would be affected. 

400

What is the difference between catabolism and anabolism?

Catabolism: releases energy after reaction 

Anabolism: requires energy for reaction

400

What is the key difference between neagtive feedback and positive feedback?

Negative feedback has a set end point, while positive feedback does not. 

400

What are the 2 types of reactions created when water is in reactions?

Dehydration Synthesis and Hydrolysis. 

400

What is an example of positive feedback?

Labor or blood clotting

500

From smallest to largest, name the 7 levels of the Human Body Hierarchy. 

atomic, molecular, cellular, tissues, organs, organ system, organismal

500

Why would a normal temperature be a requirement for life?

Temperature affects every chemical reaction within the body. Those reactions break down and process everything we take in. 

500

Stimulus, Receptor, Control Center, Effector

500

Why are hydrogen bonds not considered chemical bonds?

They do not share electrons. They are between molecules not INDIVIDUAL atoms.

What was the score for the ETSU v UVA Wise football game this Saturday?

61-0

GO BUCS!
