| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Give some examples of organelles | Mitochondria, golgi apparatus and endoplasmic reticulum. |
| What are cells | The smallest living unit within the structure and function of the body. |
| Describe the organization of the body from smallest to largest with short descriptions | Chemical Level: Atoms, Organelle: in cells, cellular Level: create cells, Tissue Level: Similar cells form tissues, Organ Level: Tissues combine to form organs, Organ System Level: Organs work in systems Organism Level: A complete living being |
| Describe metabolism and the study of it | All chemical reactions that occur in the body's cells; includes examination of: catabolism, anabolism, ATP requirements. |
| What is PH when is it acidic vs basic? | pH measures acidity or basicity on a scale from 0 to 14: Acidic: pH < 7 Neutral: pH = 7 Basic: pH > 7 |
| give an example of a synthesis reaction | The reaction between hydrogen and oxygen needed to form water. |
| List the 11 major elements in the body | Oxygen, Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Calcium, Phosphorus, Potassium, Sulfur, Sodium, Chlorine, Magnesium. |
| Define Nucleus | The command center of the cell; a spherical membrane bound structure that contains the genetic material of the cell. |
| What are ribosomes? | They are organelles that float in the cytoplasm and attach at the end of the endoplasmic reticulum |
| define mitochondria | The powerhouse of the cell; an organelle characterized by folded membranes called cristae |
| What is the plasma membrane? | The outer boundary of the human cell. |
| what does the phospholipid by-layer accomplish | It is the barrier function of the plasma membrane. |
| What is the difference between hydrophilic and hydrophobic | Hydrophilic substances are attracted to water and can dissolve in it Hydrophobic substances repel water and do not mix well in water |
| What is adipose tissue? | Storage tissue for fat cells |
| Define spongy bone | open spaces partially filled by an assemblage of needle like structures |

| What are the pelvic degrees of a male vs a female pelvis? | The adult male pelvis is narrower and less flared, and the angle of the pubic arch is less than 90 degrees. The adult female pelvis is usually broader and exhibits a round pelvic inlet, and the angle of the pubic arch is greater than 90 degrees. |
| Lists the types of cartilage and a location example | Hyaline Cartilage: Articular surfaces (e.g., ends of long bones). Elastic Cartilage: Ear (auricle). Fibrocartilage: Intervertebral discs. |
| The hydrogen isotope tritium consists of | one proton, 2 neutrons |
| Give an example of decomposition reaction | Food digestion |
| define the region and location of the gallbladder | Right hypochondriac in the abdominal cavity |
| What is the anatomical position? | The anatomical position is standing upright with feet together, arms at the sides, palms facing forward, and head facing forward. |
| Explain transport proteins | A variety of proteins embedded they serve as a passageway for Na+ ions or glucose. |
