Cells reproduce by splitting themselves into two smaller daughter cells. True or False. | True. |
Which feedback system negate changes in a variable? | Negative Feedback Loop |
Which feedback system amplify or reinforce the change that is occurring? | Positive Feedback Loop |
What are organic compounds containing carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen commonly called sugars and starches? | Carbohydrates |

What is the most abundant organic compounds in the body? | Proteins |
What forms the backbone of the chains in DNA? | Alternating deoxyribose and phosphate units. |
What are the base bonds in DNA? | 1. Adenine binds to thymine (two hydrogen bonds) 2. Cytosine binds to guanine (three hydrogen bonds) |
What are the nitrogenous bases in RNA? | Adenine, Uracil, Guanine, and Cytosine |
What is the set of chemical reactions in a cell? | Catabolism- the breakdown of molecules into smaller molecules. Anabolism- the building of larger molecules from smaller molecules. |
Active transport requires energy use by the membrane? True or False. | True. |
Passive transport does not require any energy expenditure by the cell ? True or False. | True. |
What happens to cells in a hypotonic solution? | The cell swells as water flows into them. |
What is Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)? | A double-helix polymer (composed of nucleotides) that functions to transfer information, encoded in genes, to direct the synthesis of proteins. |

What are the characteristics of skeletal muscle cells? | 1. Excitability (irritability)—ability to be stimulated 2. Contractility—ability to contract, or shorten, and produce body movement 3. Extensibility—ability to extend, or stretch, thereby allowing muscles to return to their resting length |
