homeostasis
state of relative constancy
negative feedback loop
prevents change
positive feedback loop

anabolism
USES
metabolic reaction
uses cellular energy
produces cell components
catabolism
PROVIDES
metabolic reaction that breaks down molecules
provides cell with energy and materials to perform anabolism
aerobic respiration
type of cellular respiration that requires oxygen
releases food energy
occurs in specific sequence of steps
occur in cytoplasm and mitochondria
anaerobic respiration
type of cellular respiration that does not require oxygen
occur in muscle cells
also called glycolysis
glycolysis
oxidation of molecules that produces energy when oxygen is not present
oxidation reaction that occurs through fermentation
process produces lactic acid wastes in muscles
