Lab Final Exam Flashcards
Steps of the scientific method
Observation, hypothesis, experiment, analysis, and
conclusion
Independent Variable
variable that is manipulated
Dependent Variable
Variable that is measured
5 FACTORS TO ANALYZE 24 RECALL
- Weight
- Height
- Gender
- Activity
- Age
Macronutrients
Carbs, Lipids, Proteins
micronutrients
Minerals and vitamins
Acceptable macronutrients distribution range
- Carbs: 45-65%
- Protein: 10-35%
- Fats: 20%-35%
Magnification
Is the ratio of the apparent size of the object as seen
through the microscope (image size) to the real-life side of the
object.
Resolution
the ability of the microscope to distinguish as separate
and distinct objects that lie in close proximity.
Human cells hierarchy
cells —> tissues —> organs —> organ system
Prokaryotic cells
single-celled organism (lacks membrane-bound
nuclei & membrane organelles)
eukaryotic cells
single or multi-celled organism
Animal cells are
Surrounded by cell membrane
Plasma membrane
double-layer structure and has 2 main components: phospholipids and protein
Cytoplasm
inside the cell membrane & contains cell organelles that are vital to functionality.
Nucleus
largest organelle & contains cells genetic material & controls cells activity.
Mitochondria
catabolic organelle where carbs, lipids, & proteins are broken down by cellular respiration to produce energy aka ATP.
Plant cells differ from…
animals b/c of their rigid cell walls that
surround plasma membrane & has chloroplast and water-filled vacuoles
G.I TRACT
- The body prepares foods for ABSORBTION through DIGESTION
- Food enters the GI tract through the LUMEN (inside of the hollow
tube) - Food gets broken down into the smallest units: amino acids,
simple sugars, fatty acids to get absorbed by INTESTINAL
EPITHELIAL CELLS.
UPPER GI TRACT
mouth, esophagus, and stomach
LOWER GI TRACT
small intestine, large intestine, and anus(butthole)
