Term
Scientific Process
Definition
Observation
Question
Formulate Hypothesis
Experiment
Collect Data
Design
Analyze
Term
Experimental
Definition
manipulative, composition of groups, control
Term
Correlational
Definition
observational, doesn't fully demonstrate cause and effect
Term
Clinical Trials
Definition
Phase I- Is it safe?
Phase II- Does it work?
Phase III- "comparison with other treatments"
drug to market
Phase IV- rare side effects start to resurface
Term
Evaluating studies
Definition
long term affects, nature of the study, side effects
Term
small intestines
Definition
breaks food into molecules which can be absorbed into the blood stream
Term
eukaryotic
Definition
has nucleus and other organelles
Term
prokaryotic
Definition
doesn't have a nucleus
Term
golgi apparatus
Definition
package proteins for secretion
Term
rough endoplasm riticulum
Definition
synthesis proteins for secretion
Term
specialization in a progression
Definition
fertilized cells- unlimited potential
embryonic stem cells- pluripotent
adult stem cells- multipotent- limited range
Term
Epithelial
Definition
covers bodies surfaces (skin), lines body cavities and hollow organs

functions- protection, absorption, secretion, sensory function
Term
connective tissue
Definition
functions- transport, connection and structural support, support (bones and cartilage), storage (fat), defense

common features- blood vessels, cells are usually supported by matrix either liquid (blood) or mineral based (bone)
Term
Muscle
Definition
movement by contraction, lots of proteins
Term
nervous
Definition
communication
Term
Stomach
Definition
function of stomach-
-breakdown of food particles- muscle
-start chemical digestion of proteins
-muscle secretion
Term
Stages of digestion
Definition
ingestion, digestion (mechanical, chemical), absorption, elimination
Term
covalent bonds
Definition
strongest bond in the presence of water

stable and long term like maariage
Term
hydrogen bond
Definition
transient, weak

like flirtation
Term
polarity
Definition
distribution of electrons in molecules
Term
Interactions with water
Definition
hydrophilic- mixes with water = polar
hydrophobic- water fearing, repelled by water
Term
carbohydrates
Definition
fuel, hydrophilic- polar, monomer sub unit
Term
Lipids
Definition
fuel, storage from adipose tissue, structure builds cell membranes (fatty acids, saturated fats- solids, unsaturated - liquid
Term
Proteins
Definition
functions- structure (catilidge), movement (muscle), enzymes

structure- monomer amino acids, polymer- protein, variable chemical properties
Term
enzymes (catalyst)
Definition
enzymes speed up chemical reactions, enzymes physically grab substrate, are specialized
Term
Goals of metabolism
Definition
energy harvesting, obtain raw materials to build own molecules
Term
obtaining energy for food
Definition
carbs--> sugar
fats--> fatty acids
proteins--> amino acids

cellular respiration
fermentation
Term
Obtaining energy from light
Definition
photosynthesis

carbon dioxide + water + light energy + sugar
Term
cell
Definition
fundamental structural unit of life
Term
plasma membrane
Definition
defines the outer boundary of each cell
Term
essential amino acids
Definition
amino acids which your body cannot synthesize
Term
ATP (adenosine triphosphate)
Definition
energy currency of cells
Term
willets system
Definition
cohort- correlational, randomized- experimental, case control- correlational, metabolic study- experimental
Term
digestion of lipids
Definition
small intestines
Term
digestion of proteins
Definition
stomach, small intestine
Term
cellular respiration
Definition
occurs in the mitochondria, C6H1206 + CO2 ---> O2 + H2O +ATP
Term
gastrula- stage embyro
Definition
tissues: estoderm- outer layer gives rise to the skin
mesoderm- gives rise to muscle
endoderm- lines alimentary canal
Term
Interphase
Definition
G1, S, G2

DNA is replicated in the S phase
Term
Prophase
Definition
nuclear envelope disappears, microtubular spindle forms, chromosomes condense
Term
Metaphase
Definition
spindle attached to replicated chromosomes and lines them up at the center of the cell
Term
Anaphase
Definition
replicated chromosome splits at centromere, unreplicated chromosomes "daughter" move to poles
Term
Telophase
Definition
nuclear envelope reforms, chromosomes decondense/ extend, spindle breaks down
Term
mitochondria
Definition
organelles which products of the digestive system are converted to ATP
Term
cytokinesis
Definition
divide the cytoplasm

form into two daughter cells
Term
Regulation points
Definition
"check points" cell division signals or growth factors or DNA damage
Term
beginning of cancer
Definition
-changes in DNA can alter regulation of cell division
- genes involved in detection and response to growth factors
- gene important for detecting DNA damage
Term
Cancer progression
Definition
-unregulated growth and loss of differentiation
-initially lend to benign tumors
-malignant tumor
"metastasis spread to other locations
Term
stem cells
Definition
cells which are capable of indefinite division for any type of cell
Term
plasma membrane
Definition
structure that encloses a cell, defining its boundaries
Term
DNA replication
Definition
occors in Interphase and is in extended form
Term
microtubule
Definition
contracts and separates from each other pulling the sister chromatids to the two different poles
Term
fertilized eggs
Definition
unlimited potential for specialization
Term
embryotic stem cells
Definition
pluripotent- lots of possible destinies
Term
adult stem cell
Definition
multipotent- limited range
