elements of the homeostatic control system
- stimulus
- receptor
- input
- output
- response
positive vs negative feedback systems
n - original stimulus is shut off

molecule
what determines whether a molecule is organic or inorganic
the presence of carbon
inorganic molecules
- simple bonds
- water and salt
acids vs bases
acids release H+ (proton donors)
bases release OH- (acceptors)
both acids and bases undergo __________ reactions to form _____ and _____
neutralization
water
salt
how is pH regulated
regulated by kidneys and lungs
organic molecules
- have carbon
- covertly bonded
- carbs, lipids, proteins
types of carbs
monosaccharides - 1 sugar
disaccharides - 2
polysaccharides - many
3 categories of lipids
- energy storage
- cholesterol production
- cell membranes
triglycerides
stored fat for energy
fatty acids and glycerol
phospholipids
form lipid bilayer
cholesterol
production of steroid hormones
half of the bodies organic matter is _______
proteins
what are proteins made of
amine group
acid group
vary by r group
4 levels of protein structure
primary secondary tertiary quaternary
peptides
shorter amino acid chains
function as biological catalysts
maintain homeostasis
bind to substrates and convert them to products
what is ATP made of
nucleotide built from ribose sugar, adenine base, and 3 phosphate groups
how does ATP work
energy is released when the high energy phosphate bond is broken makes ADP then ATP is replenished by oxidation reactions
what is ATP used for
to drive energy absorbing chemical reactions, transport through membranes , and activates contractile proteins
