Question 8

Hormone

Answer 8

A signaling molecule produced by glands, a hormone includes a specific effect of the activity of cells

Question 9

Carbohydrates

Answer 9

Primary source of energy. They are compounds such as sugars and starch and are found in foods and living tissues EX: bread pasta

Question 10

Chemical reactions

Answer 10

Known as cellular respiration and the way that cells generate energy. Oxygen is needed for this process as well as ATP.

Question 11

Where does cellular respiration occur?

Answer 11

In the mitochondria of the cell

Question 12

Insulin

Answer 12

A protein hormone secreted by the pancreas. It’s essential for the metabolism of carbohydrates and the regulation of glucose levels in the blood.

Question 13

What’s insulins job?

Answer 13

To move glucose from our blood stream into the body’s cells to make energy

Question 14

Glycogen

Answer 14

Stored form of glucose that’s made up of many connected glucose molecules

Question 15

Glucagon

Answer 15

A hormone secreted by the pancreatic endocrine cells that raises blood glucose levels; basically helps control blood sugar levels and prevent it from dropping too low

Question 16

What’s glucagon to insulin?

Answer 16

A antagonistic hormone

Question 17

What are proteins made of?

Answer 17

Amino acids

Question 18

What determines a proteins function?

Answer 18

The shape

Question 19

What determines a proteins shape?

Answer 19

The sequence of amino acids

Question 20

Hyperglycemia

Answer 20

When there is an excessively high level of glucose in the blood

Question 21

Hypoglycemia

Answer 21

When there is an abnormally low level of glucose in the blood

Question 22

Hypertonic

Answer 22

A solution that has a higher concentration of solutes compared to another solution

Question 23

Hypotonic

Answer 23

A solution that has a low concentration of solutes compared to another solution

Question 24

Isotonic

Answer 24

A solution that has the number of solutes as another solution

Question 25

What are the four macromolecules

Answer 25

Carbohydrates, Lipids, Proteins, Nucleic acids

Question 26

What happens to a cell if it were to be placed into a hypertonic solution

Answer 26

Water moves out of the cells causing it to shrink

Question 27

What happens to a cell if it were to be placed into a hypotonic solution?

Answer 27

Water moves into the cells causing, causing it to swell and possibly burst

Question 28

What happens to a cell if it were to be placed into an isotonic solution?

Answer 28

There is no net movement of water into or out of the cells, so they retain their normal shape

Question 29

Lipids

Answer 29

Secondary source of energy

Question 30

Proteins

Answer 30

Last resort of energy

Question 31

Nucleic acids

Answer 31

Instructions for producing proteins(not a source of energy)

Question 32

Type 1 diabetes

Answer 32

When your pancreas produces little to no insulin and can’t use glucose from foods and doesn’t produce energy. Also doesn’t go away

Question 33

Type 2 diabetes

Answer 33

When the pancreas makes insulin but the cells don’t respond to it. Then cells are not able to take in glucose to make energy and glucose levels rise. This can be reversible by eating good and working out

Question 34

What is insulin resistance

Answer 34

When the pancreas makes insulin insulin the the cells in the body’s do not respond to it

Question 35

When does insulin resistance happen

Answer 35

In type 2 diabetes
