Lesson 1 General Functions of the Cell Flashcards
Life Processes/Activities/Characteristics
Growth and Development
Metabolism(Anabolism, Catabolism)
Reproduction
React to Stimulus/Environment
Energy Usage and Flow
Highly Ordered
change in size
LP
Growth
change in form, function and behavior
LP
Development
breaking down substances
LP
Catabolism
creating
LP
Anabolism
producing offspring (same species)
Reproduction
the body responding to internal and external stimulus
LP
React to Stimulus/Environment
exchange of energy for biological processes
LP
Energy Usage and Flow
order and structure in living things
Highly Ordered
organism’s ability to keep a
constant internal state
eg shivering/sweating
Homeostasis
It is stored in the bonds present in
food molecules, and it will be
converted by the cells into more
usable forms
is needed by various cells to
perform their functions.
○ heart cells to pump blood
○ intestinal cells to digest food
○ skeletal cells to initiate motion
○ nerve cells to conduct
information
Chemical Energy
A cell must first be able to
determine the changes that
have taken place before
deciding the necessary
responses that will ultimately
result in the maintenance of
normal internal conditions.
eg tanned skin
Responsiveness
protection from foreign bodies
Protection and Support
