Organic Compounds
Carbohydrates, Proteins, Lipids, and Nucleic Acids
What are the four types of organic compounds?
To digest food and uptake nutrients.
What is the function of the digestive system?
Brings oxygen and carbon dioxide into and out of the body.
What is the function of the respiratory system?
A process resulting in an output signal that opposes or resists that change.
What is negative feedback?
A double-stranded structure that holds genetic information.
What is DNA?
It breaks down into monosaccharides, like glucose
What is carbohydrates?
The organ that is directly after the small intestine.
What is the large intestine?
The specific type of transport that occurs in this type of gas exchange system.
What is diffusion?
A process resulting in the amplification or growth of the output signal.
What is positive feedback?
Adenosine (A) pairs with this base in DNA.
What is thymine (T)?
Its function is to store information to make proteins.
What are nucleic acids?
A part of the small intestine that aids in nutrient absorption.
What is a villi?
What is the alveoli?
The thing that produces a change in balance of the body.
What is a stimulus?
Adenosine (A) pairs with this base in RNA.
What is uracil (U)?
The monomer of lipids (fat).
What are fatty acids?
OR
What is glycerol?
The specific type of blood vessel that nutrients move into.
What is the capillary?
The specific type of blood vessel that allows for gas exchange
What is capillary?
The correction made by the body to fix the imbalance.
What is response?
The monomer of a nucleic acid.
What is a nucleotide?
This macromolecule typically ends with "-ase"
What are proteins?
The specific type of transport that occurs in the large intestine.
What is osmosis?
A muscle that pulls down or relaxes to cause air to enter or leave the lungs.
What is the diaphragm?
Glucose levels rising to eventually return back to normal is an example of this type of feedback.
What is negative feedback?
ATG TCC GAA is the complementary strand for this DNA strand.
What is TAC AGG CTT?
