16
Q

Heterotrophs

A

Cannot make their own nutrients, so they get it from cellular respiration

17
Q

Parts of the cell membrane

A

•Phospholipid
•Hydrophilic End (balls)
•Hydrophobic End (tail)
•Glycoproteins for recognition (stacked balls)

18
Q

Passive transport
(Concentration gradient)

A

-Doesn’t use energy for transportation
-molecules move from high concentration to low concentration

19
Q

3 Types of Passive transport

A

-Diffusion
-Osmosis
-Facilitated Diffusion

20
Q

Diffusion

A

Particles that follow a concentration gradient

21
Q

Osmosis

A

Diffusion of water following a gradient

22
Q

Facilitated Diffusion

A

Diffusion using a carrier protein in the plasma membrane

23
Q

Active transport

A

Uses energy for transportation against the gradient

24
Q

3 types of Active transport

A

-Ion pumps
-Exocytosis
-Endocytosis

25
Average body temp
37°C
26
Ion pumps
Proteins inside the cell membrane which allows passage for certain ions Ex •K & Na
27
Exocytosis means
Exo = To leave
28
Endocytosis means? What are 2 other kinds in what forms?
•Endo = To enter •Pinocytosis = fluid •Phagocytosis = solid
29
Homeostatic systems
•Homeostasis •Thermoregulation •Osmoregulation •Waste management
30
Thermoregulation
The ability to maintain a constant body temperature
31
Osmoregulation
The ability to maintain a constant water balance
32
Homeostatic
Negative feedback mechanisms. Triggered by Nervous & hormonal mechanisms
33
Homeostasis
Body’s ability to maintain a constant internal environment with a changing external environment
34
Cell theory
•All living organisms are composed of cells •Cells come from pre-existing cells •Cells carry out life functions
35
What happens to your body when you get too hot
Change: feeling hot Receptor: External Epideimis(skin) Effector: hormones target sweat glands Change: sweating, later evaporates and cools skin Normal condition: temps return to normal
36
What happens to your body when you get too cold
Change: feeling cold Receptor: skin Effector: hormones cause contractions in muscles Change: shivering cause muscles to heat up, increasing blood flow Normal condition: stop shivering, temp returns to normal
37
Positive feedback
-keeps going until normal
38
Negative feedback
-makes adjustments to bring things back to normal
