23
Q

Organ:

A

Groups of tissue working towards a common function.

24
Q

Tissue:

A

Groups of cells working toward a common function.

25
Cell:
The most basic unit of structure and function that is living.
26
Organelles:
Individual functioning units of a cell.
27
Molecules:
2 or more atoms.
28
Atoms:
The basic unit of matter. -Subatomic particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons.
29
Types of Macromolecules:
Carbohydrates (saccharides) Proteins Nucleic Acids Lipids
30
Monomer of carbohydrates:
Monosaccharides "one sugar" - Fructose - Glucose - Galactose
31

40
Functions of proteins:
``` Structure Hormones Immunities Transport Receptors Enzymes Contractile/motor Storage ```
41
Monomers of Nucleic Acids:
DNA: - Adenine - Thyamine - Cytosine - Guanine RNA: All except Thyamine, instead there is Uracil
42
Polymers of Nucleic Acids:
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) Ribonucleic acid (RNA) ATP
43
Function of DNA:
Instructions
44
Function of RNA:
"Carrier" of instructions.
45
Function of ATP:
Energy storage molecule.
46
Types of Lipids:
Triglycerides Phospholipids Steroids Waxes
47
Triglycerides:
Saturated fatty acids Unsaturated fatty acids Function: long term energy storage, insulation, and cushion.
48

Function: cell membrane O
49
Steroids:
Cholesterol -Fxn: base molecule, and in cell membrane Testosterone-fxn:hormones Estrogen-fxn: hormones
50
Waxes:
Function: protectors Ex: ear wax, beeswax
