Q

What is active transport

A

Requires energy
Requires a protein to facilitate

Q

What type of membrane is the cell membrane. Why?

A

Semi permeable so some things can get in and out, but not certain things in and out.

Exercise
Happy
Emotions
Medical disorders
22
Q

Factors that decrease heart rate

A
Drugs
Depression
Resting

Exercising (trains heart muscle to be more effective each pump)
23
Q

Define blood pressure

A

How hard blood is pumped through body

24
Q

Blood pressure is highest in

25
What causes pulse
Expansion and recoil of arteries
26
What does heart rate measure
Pressure of blood against walls of vessel
27
Systolic pressure
When arteries contract
28
What is diastolic pressure
When the arteries are relaxed.
29
In blood pressure reading which is on top what do the numbers refer to
Systolic ———— Diastolic of millimeters the pressure will raise a column of mercury
30
What is average bp rate for teens
120 —— 70
31
What does it mean when a cell is differentiated?
It has a specialized purpose and a different shape. It matters about which genes are turned on or off.
32
What is homeostasis
The constant internal environment of the cell
33
How does a sphygmomanometer measure blood pressure?
It wraps around upper arm | The gauge measures pressure
34
How does a stethoscope measure blood pressure?
It listens to the different sounds that occur.
35
How is an ectothermic animal different from humans
Their body temp is the same temp as the surroundings, basically.
36
What is thermoregation
Maintenance of internal temps within range that lets cells work.
37
How do ectothermic animals achieve thermoregulation
Basking in the sun or burrowing in the mud.
38
What does Q2 stand for?
The rate doubles by 2 with a 10* C increase in temp.
39
What is a flagella
It’s a whip like tail that’s used for propulsion
40
What is cilla
Small hairs surrounding the cell membrane
41
What is pseudoephedrine
Extensions of the cell membrane that pulls itself around.
42
Where can flagella be found
Euglena
43
Where can cilla be found
Paramecium
44
Where can psedophobia be found
Amoeba
45
What is locomotion
The result of muscles pulling on skeletal systems
46
What do joints allow for
Parts of the body to flex and extend allowing for motion
47
What do ligaments attach to
Bones at the joints
48
Where do muscles attach to
Bones by tendons
