16
Q

concentration gradient

A

high to low = no energy needed

low to high = energy needed

17
Q

osmosis

A

diffusion of water across the cell membrane

18
Q

endocytosis

exocytosis

A
endocytosis= the active movement of a substance in a cell
exocytosis= ^ outside the cell
19
Q

active transport

A
when molecules move against concentration gradient 
requires energy (atp)
20
Q

4 types of tissue

A
  1. epithelial (skin)
  2. connective (bone)
  3. muscular (cardiac, skeletal)
  4. nervous (nerves)
21
Q

epithelial

A

forms on the outer parts of the skin & lines hollow organs

22
Q

connective

A

provides support for the body

23
Q

muscular

A

responds to stimuli contracting and lengthening

1. skeletal 2. cardiac 3. involuntary

24
Q

nervous

A

made up of neurons

25
Q

BMR

A

basal metabolic rate

26
Q

catabolic

A
  • bigger pieces are broken down
  • destructive
  • releases energy
  • cell respiration
27
Q

anabolic

A
  • reactions construct complex substances
  • uses energy
  • protein synthesis
  • amino acids
28
Q

glycolysis

A
  • breaks down one molecule of glucose to produce two molecules of pyruvate
  • anaerobic
  • yields two molecules of atp
29
Q

enzymes

A

catabolic reaction

- speed up a chemical reaction

30
Q

lock and key

A

the lock is the enzyme and the key is the substrate. Only the correctly sized key (substrate) fits into the key hole (active site) of the lock (enzyme). they connect at the active site and when a catabolic reaction takes place, the result is an enzyme and a product.

31
Q

cell respiration

A

when organisms use oxygen to break down food molecules to get chemical energy for cell functions
