Q

Maintaining Boundaries

A

Separate outside world from the inner body

22
Q

Movement

A

Locomotion

23
Q

Responsiveness

A

Senses change in the environment and respond to them.

24
Q

All 3 metabolize nutrients

A

Digestion
Metabolism
Excretion

25
General Life Functions
- maintain boundaries - movement - responsiveness - digestion - metabolism - excretion - reproduction - growth - living things are made of 1 or more cells
26
Homeostasis
Able to maintain a stable internal condition even though the outside world changes
27
Negative Feedback
Brings things back to normal levels Ex: thermostat and AC
28
Positive Feedback
Keeps going
29
Body Divisions
Axis- head Appendicular- limbs
30
Serous Membrane
Visceral serosa - sits on organ | Parietal serosa - lines cavity
31
Elements in Living Organisms
``` Carbon (c) Oxygen (o) Hydrogen (h) Nitrogen (n) Phosphorous (p) ```
32
Atomic Structure
Clusters of small particles called Protons, Neutrons, and Electrons.
33
Protons
Located in nucleus Positive charge
34
Neutrons
Located in nucleus No electrical charge
35
Electrons
Orbit around the nucleus
36
Isotopes
Are atoms that have a different number of electrons than protons.
37
Molecule
Two or more atoms bound together
38
Compound
Two or more DIFFERENT kinds of atoms are bound together
39
Ionic Bond
Bond between a transfer of one or more electrons from one to another
40
Covalent Bond
Sharing electrons | Which orbits both atoms
41
Polar
Unequal electron sharing Like water
42
Non- Polar
Molecules are electrically balanced Do not dissolve in water
43
Hydrogen Bonds
Attractions | Form when a hydrogen atoms attracted to another electron-hungry atom, so that a bridge forms between them.
44
Water
- high heat capacity - high heat vaporization - sweating - universal solvents - reactivity - helps digest food - cushioning - cushion around certain body organs
45
Inorganic Compounds
Water Salts Acids/bases
46
Ph Scale
``` -1 = Acidic 14 = alkaline (basic) ```
47
Organic Compounds
- proteins - carbohydrates - lipids - nucleic acids
48
Carbohydrates Elements Monomer Function Ex
Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen Monosaccharides Short term energy Bread, sugars
49
Lipids Elements Monomer Function Ex
Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen Fatty acid Long term energy storage, temp regulation Fats / oils Do not dissolve in water
50
Proteins Elements Monomer Function Ex
Carbon , oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen Amino acid Structure, carrying oxygen, regulatory Enzyme - breaking down
51
Nucleus Acid Elements Monomer Function Ex
Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus Ex: ATP ENERGY!!!!!!
