Cards

Term
Homeostasis
Definition
Dynamic Equilibrium "Changing to Stay the Same"
Term
List Steps of Scientific Method
Definition
1. Observation: Starts with a question
2. Literature Search: Usually 2 years or so
3.Hypothesis - Educated Guess
4. Experimenting: a. Control Group b. Experimental Group
5. Analyze Data: Conclusions
Term
Theory
Definition
1. Overwhelming evidence
2. Best way to understand a concept
3. Much data to support
4. Stands the test of time
Term
Negative Feedback
Positive Feedback
Definition
Negative Feedback - Action of effectors reversed direction of changes that stimulated the effectors
Positive Feedback - Action of effectors amplifies changes that stimulated effectors
Term
4 Categories of Tissues and functions
Definition
1. Connective - Mixture of functions
2. Epithelial - Usually lining and protective (eg. Esophagus, Skin)
3. Muscle - Skeletal: Voluntary movement
Smooth: Movement
Cardiac: Involuntary movement
4. Nervous - communication with neurons
Term
Flowchart of Organ System
Definition
Cells > Tissues > Organs > Organ System
Term
Call Parts and Functions
Definition
1. Plasma Membrane - selectively permeable, structure, support
2. Nucleus - Contains DNA
3. Mitochondria - Converts ATP Energy
4. Ribosome - Makes proteins
5. Rough ER - Makes proteins
6. Smooth ER - Makes lipids
7. Golgi - Packaging
8. Lysosomes - Breaks down enzymes
Term
Diffusion & Osmosis
Definition
Diffusion - Moving from an area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration
Osmosis - movement of water
Term
Properties of Interphase
Definition
-When a cell is not in Mitosis it's in Interphase
-Chromosomes double
-Organelles double
-Can be short(skin), long or permanent(neurons)
Term
Mitosis and Stages
Definition
Mitosis - "Big Idea" - 1 cell (23 pairs "46" chromosomes) > 2 cells (23 pairs "46" chromosomes)
Stages:
1. Prophase - Chromosomes are visible
2. Metaphase - Chromosome meet in middle with sister chromatid
3. Anaphase - Sister chromatids split
4. Telophase - Cell splits
Term
Meiosis properties
Definition
-Chromosomes double
-Pair up and swap segments during crossing over
-To work successfully must have same genes and lots of variety from crossing over
Term
Genes contain _______.
Definition
information about a trait
Term
Spernatogenesis & OOgenesis
Definition
Spermatogenesis start with 1, ends with 4
OOgenesis starts with 1, ends with 1
Term
Trisomy 21 (Down's Syndrome)
Trisomy 18 (Edward's Syndrome)
Trisomy 13 (Patan's Syndrome)
Definition
21 - Third chromosome on 21 because sister chromatid didn't split right

18 - Third chromosome on 18

13 - Third chromosome on 13
Term
Trisomy 18 (Edwards Syndrome)
Definition
Third chromosome on 18
Term
Autosomal
Definition
Occurs on first few 1-22
Term
Genetic Sex Disorders
Definition
Klinefelters - xxy Have testes not always able to produce

Turners - xo usually have non functional ovaries
Term
Teratogens
Definition
Anything that risks syndromes etc.
Term
Protein Structure and behavior
Definition
Primary Structure - chain of amino acids
Secondary Structure - coils/folds
Tertiary Structure - bends over inside itself
Term
Enzyme Properties Table 4.4
Definition
-Composed of proteins
-Fast, resuseable
-Build up / breakdown
-Specific, active site eg. specifically designed to breakdown a carbohydrate
Term
Factors that change an enzyme
Definition
Heat - denatured (lose tertiary structure)
Cold - slow down
pH - denatured
Term
Cofactors
Definition
Help enzyme do a job
Eg. zinc, magnesium, calcium
Term
Coenzymes
Definition
Help enzyme do a job
Eg. NADH <> NAD - lose or gain nitrogen
FADH2 <> FADH
Term
Cellular Respiration
Definition
Glucose + O2 > CO2 + H2O + Energy > ATP
Know table in notes
Produces 36 ATP at maximum efficiency
Term
Sources of Energy
Definition
1. ATP lasts 5 seconds
2. Creatine-P last 15 seconds
3. Cellular Respiration
-Glucose > ATP - more exercise
-Fats > ATP - more fat & vice versa
Term
DNA Definition
DNA Nucleotide Properties
Definition
Deoxyribonucleic Acid - Double Stranded
Nucleotides contain
1. Sugar (Deoxyribose)
2. Phosphate
3. Base
Purines Pyrimidines
Adenine <> Thymine
Guanine <> Cytosine
Term
RNA Definition
RNA Nucleotide Properties
Definition
Ribenucleic Acid
Nucleotide
1. Sugar (Ribose)
2. Phosphate
3. Base
Purines Pyrimidines
Adenine <> Uracil
Guanine <> Cytosine
Term
Hydrogen Bond
Definition
Allows the DNA ladder to unzip
Term
Transcription
Definition
Occurs inside the nucleus when DNA allows nRNA to make a copy of one side of the molecule
Term
Translation
Definition
Occurs at the ribosome attached to the rough ER with help from the tRNA
Term
Skin Tissues and Structures
Functions
Definition
Epidermis - Stratified Squamous epithelial tissues protect the skin
Dermis - dense areolar connective tissue contains exocrine glands, eg. sweat and sebaceous glands, hair bulbs and nerves
Hair - transports sebum to the skin
Hair pore - transports sebum and has a sebaceous gland attached
Sebaceous gland - produces oil which is transferred t surface of the skin by hairs which helps to prevent the dead epithelium from drying and cracking
