17
Q

pH

A

measures the relative concentration of hydrogen ions in various body fluids

18
Q

Neutralization

A

when acids and bases mix, displacement reaction occur to form water and salt

19
Q

Macromolecule

A

large complex of molecule with thousands of atoms

20
Q

Cells

A

smallest unit of life, all organism are made out of

21
Q

Nucleus

A

organelle that controls cellular activities

22
Q

Cytoplasm

A

intracellular fluid packed with organelles

23
Q

Plasma Membrane

A

selectively permeable barrier

24
Q

Cellular Secretions

A

substances that aid in digestion (gastric fluid) or act as lubricants (saliva)

25
Cell Junctions
allow neighboring cells to adhere and to communicate. Allowing movements molecules between cells
26
Phospholipids
form basic structure of the membrane
27
Cholesterol
stiffens membrane; decrease water solubility of membrane
28
Proteins
determine what functions of membrane can perform
29
Carbohydrates
act as identity molecules; allow cells to recognize "who is who" during development
30
Physical Barrier
encloses the cell, separating the cytoplasm from extracellular fluid (ecf)
31
Hypotonic
more dilute than cells, cells pump up or lyse
32
Active Transport
required transport proteins that combine specifically and reversibly with transported substances
33
Contact Signaling
which cells come together and recognize one another
34
Chemical Signaling
process in which liquid (chemical messenger) binds specific receptor and response
35
Hormones
signals from the endocrine
36
Paracrines
chemicals act locally and rapidly destroyed
37
Endomembrane System
organelles that work together to produce, export and store biological molecules
38
Interphase
period from cell formation to division
39
Mitosis
division of the nucleus that deliver out replicated DNA of parent to two daughter cell
40
Cytokinesis
division if the cytoplasm
