19
Q

increases cell size or number  tissue size  organ size

20
Q

reproduction of cells

21
Q

increased size of a cell with increased functional capacity

22
Q

decreased size of cell/s, not being used so tissue decreases in size (muscles in arm when in a cast)

23
Q

tissue doesn’t develop completely

24
Q

tissue doesn’t develop at all

25
produce more cells and/or organisms Can be Asexual or Sexual
Reproduction
26
mitosis—most cells
Asexual
27
meiosis—gonads only in multicellular organisms
Sexual
28
utilization of nutrients Can be anabolism or catabolism
Metabolism
29
Building nutrients
Anabolism
30
Breakdown of nutrients
Catabolism
31
Irritability (excitability Nervous and endocrine system mostly in multicellular organisms Getting material in/out of cells Diffusion, Active transport Endocytosis Phagocytosis pinocytosis, Exocytosis
Properties of Cells
32
react to stimuli
Irritability (excitability)
33
Diffusion, Active transport Endocytosis Phagocytosis pinocytosis, Exocytosis
Getting material in/out of cells
34
Organic Molecules in living tissue
Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen and Phosphorus
35
Inorganic Molecules in Living Tissue
Calcium in bone Other trace minerals Electrolytes: sodium, chloride, potassium Iron in RBCs, Iodine in thyroid hormones
36
Two Types of Proteins
Structural and Reactive
37
Protein type that has parts of cells, tissues, organs
Structural
38
Protein Type that has enzymes, receptors, hormones, contractile, antibodies
Reactive
39
Primary, Secondary, Tertiary and Quaternary
Protein Structure
40
Which protein structure is a sequence of A.A.
Primary
41
Which protein structure is a conformation of polypeptide chain
Secondary
42
Protein Structure of folding of the chain—globular or not
Tertiary
43
Protein structure joining of 2 or more polypeptide chains
Quaternary
44
Most of cell membrane, some hormones (steroids, prostaglandins), some vitamins (Vitamin D) Cholesterol (part of cell membrane, basis of steroid hormones) Triglycerides Waxes (lanolin) Storage form of energy in the body
Lipids (fats)
45
Used for energy Sugars and starches Glucose—glycolysis Glycogen—polymer
Carbohydrates
46
In DNA and RNA Genetics and protein synthesis
Nucleic acids
