Homeostasis
The ability of an organism to maintain a stable internal environment
What is Homeostasis?
The reversed of the stimulus in the subjects body
What is negative feedback?
The process of changing one form of energy into another
What is Energy Conversion?
An example of Protein Synthesis
What is viruses, cancer, or Alzheimer's?
Change in your body
What is stimulus?
This disrupts homeostasis
What is illness?
If blood temperature rises too high, this is sensed by specialized neurons in the hypothalamus of the brain
What is negative feedback loop?
The transfer of energy from various molecules to produce ATP; occurs in the mitochondria of eukaryotes, the cytoplasm of prokaryotes.
What is cellular respiration?
a process within a cell in which amino acids are joined together to make a protein. It requires a messenger RNA and takes place on ribosomes.
What is Protein Synthesis?
An important protein and hormone in the regulation of blood glucose
What is Insulin?
One of three aspects in the body that must be maintained to achieve homeostasis
What is pH, Body Temparature, or Blood Sugar?
Incarceration of the stimulus in the subjects body
What is Positive feedback?
The process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water.
What is Photosynthesis?
The two main stages of protein synthesis in order?
What is Transcription and Translation?
Lack of insulin function which causes elevated glucose levels in the bloodstream
What is Diabetes?
Balanced levels of Body Temperature
What is Body Temperature 37 degrees Celsius?
a biological occurrence where in the output of a system amplifies the system
What is positive feedback loop?
The chemical breakdown of a substance by bacteria, yeasts, or other microorganisms, typically involving effervescence and the giving off of heat
What is Fermentation?
First step of Protein Synthesis
What is the transcription of mRNA from a DNA gene in the nucleus?
The number of human body systems in the body
What is 11?
If homeostasis doesn't achieve, this occurs
What is Death?
Which is not an example of positive feedback? A. Contractions during childbirth, B. Increase in hormones before ovulation C. Lowering blood pressure if elevated, D. Conversion of pepsinogen into pepsin
What is C?
The synthesis of organic compounds by bacteria or other living organisms using energy derived from reactions involving inorganic chemicals
What is Chemosynthesis?
Why is protein synthesis important for living systems?
What is critical for the growth of cells.
The charge of DNA
What is a Negative Charge?
