Q

ways to keep homeostasis (effectors)

A
  • shivering(contraction of muscle)
  • dilation/contraction of capillaries
  • release of sweat

Q

negative feedback

A

the effector acts against the stimulus.

- it is hot outside so the body produces sweat to combat the heat.

Q

positive feedback

A

the body lets out chemicals to increase what is happening.

-a mother is breastfeeding so the body sends out a message to produce more breast milk

25
what is metabolism
the sum of the body's chemical reactions
26
what are the three types of reactions
decomposition, synthesis and exchange
27
decompistion
breaking a molecule into smaller parts. releases energy aka exergonic.
28
synthesis
making a new molecule out of other molecules, requires energy
29
exchange
reacting molecules are shifted around
30
what are commonly used gases in the body
O2, used for cellular resperation and C02 is produced as waste
31
what are salts used for
conduct electricity and charges molecule
32
water
- universal solvent - essential reactant - lubricant - 2/3 of the body's mass
33
organic molecule
a molecule that contains Carbon or oxygen
34
carbohydrates
small units are monosaccharides a large sugar molecule called polysaccharides used for energy important sugars; glycogen, glucose
35
lipids uses
energy storage protection hormones structure
36
are lipid water soluable
no
37
protein function
``` energy source support movement transport catalyst defense ```
38
what are the subunits of proteins
amino acids
39
nucleic functions
to store information of the cell
40
use for ATP
short term energy carrier used for cellular functions
41
plasma membrane
hydrophilic head, hydrophobic tails and integral proteins.
42
what are the integral proteins in the cell membrane
- transport proteins | - anchor proteins
43
what is cholesterol role in membranes?
more cholesterol=less permeability of cell | less is the opposite
44
simple diffusion
molecules go from a high concentration to low concentration to estabish equlibrium
45
osmosis
water related simple diffusion
46
isotonic solution
inside= outside
47
hypotonic solution
more solute in the inside than outside
48
hypertonic solution
less solute inside than the outside
49
filtration
Does not require energy. Substances pushed through membrane by hydrostatic pressure. -hydrostatic pressure, the pressure that is created because of gravity
50
facilitated diffusion
high [solute] to low [solute]. Does not require energy. Passive transportation of large hydrophilic molecules by proteins.
51
Active transport:
low [solute] to high [solute]. Requires energy/ATP.
52
Vesicular transport
Requires energy/ATP. Molecules entering/exiting the cell via vesicle formation (a “bubble” made of lipid bilayer that holds molecules).
53
endocytosis
taking in molecules
54
exocytosis
excreting moleucles
55
cytoskeleton
supports and provides structure to the cell
56
endoplasmic recticulum
is a membranous network two parts: Rough ER = Protein synthesis ( it is studded with ribosomes) Smooth ER = Lipid synthesis
57
golgi apparatus
modifies and ships proteins.
58
Lysosomes
site of intracellular digestion.
59
Mitochondria
site of ATP synthesis, and act as the powerhouse of the cell.
60
nucleus
houses genetic information/stores the genome.
61
study the cell cycle
do it!!
62
what is the central dogma?
DNA> RNA>protein
