A

The body’s ability to detect and respond to change.

43
Q

What is Differentiation?

A

The development of a cell from an unspecialized to specialized state.

44
Q

The conditional of equilibrium (balance) in the body’s internal environment due to the constant interaction of the body’s many regulatory processes.

A

Homeostasis.

48
Q

What is a feedback System?

A

Regulating systems that can usually bring the internal environment back into balance.

49
Q

A cycle of events in which that status of a body condition is monitored, evaluated, changed, re-monitored, re-evaluated and so on.

A

Feedback System

50
Q

Each monitored variable, such as body temperature or blood pressure is called a…

A

Controlled Variable/Condition

51
Q

Any disruption that changes a controlled condition is called a…

A

Stimulus

52
Q

This type of feedback system reverses a change in a controlled condition. It is the body’s primary method of maintaining homeostasis. Senses changes in the body and slowly returns it to normal

Positive Feedback

54
Q

Example of Negative Feed Back

Q

Example of Positive Feed Back

Natural Childbirth.

56
Q

A structure that monitors change and sends input to the control centre

A

Receptor

57
Q

The brain, which sets a range of normal values in which conditions should be maintained, evaluates the input received from receptors, and generates the necessary output commands. (In Feedback Loop)

Under the right conditions, 2 or more atoms can interact in ways that produce a chemically stable arrangement of 8 valence electrons from each atom. This is called the…

A

Octet Rule.

76

The force of attraction that holds together ions with opposite charges is

A

an Ionic Bond

77
Q

Ions can be:

A

Cations or Anions

78
