science exam review Flashcards
3 parts of atom
proton- positive in the nucleus, neutron- neutral in the nucleus, electon- negative outside nucleus
3 needs of living things
food, water, oxygen, constant temperature
amount of matter
mass
anything that has mass and volume
matter
approximately equal to the total of protons and neutrons
atomic weight
assemblage of all other groups of matter
organism
atoms that have gained or lost electrons and have a electrostatic charge
ion
basic nerves cells are called what?
neurons
basic unit of all matter
atom
beneath skin, around kidneys, behind eyeballs, on the surface of the heart
adipose
beneath skin, between muscles, and beneath epithelial tissues
areolar
between the bony parts of the spinal column, parts of the pelvic girdle and knee
fibrocartilage
binds organs together and holds tissue fluids
areolar tissue
bone cells
osteoclasts
bone matrix is thin layers
lamellae
brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves
nervous
carries oxygen-rich blood to the cells
cardiovascular
cartilage cells
chondrocytes
cavity that contains the heart
mediastinum
a chemical change caused by the breaking, forming, or sharing bonds
reaction
clear, jellylike fluid in the cell that holds the organelles and it is the site for many chemical reactions
cytoplasm
combinations of proteins and carbohydrates that make fingernails and toenails
glycoproteins
combining two or more substances into a new substance
synthesis
compounds that contain carbon and hydrogen
organic
compounds that contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen
proteins
the concentration of solutes inside the cell is the same ass the concentration outside the cell
isotonic solution
the concentration of solutes outside the cell is greater than the concentration inside of the cell
hypertonic solution
the concentration of solutes outside the cell is the lower than the concentration inside of the cell
hypotonic solution
contain digestive enzymes to break down excess or worn out cell parts
lysosomes
contains enzymes that are catalysts for liver and kidney functions
perioxisomes
contains the DNA for the cell
chromatin
the control center for the cell, it controls all of the activities of the cell
nucleus
control/ regulation of other systems
nervous
controlled by conscious thought
voluntary
diffusion of water molecules
osmosis
DNA is
nucleic acid
do not dissolve in water
organic compounds
enzymes are types of
protein
excretion of wastes, fluid and electrolyte balance
urinary
feels slimy
bases
framework of external ear and parts of the larynx
elastic cartilage
functions in protein synthesis
RNA
gas exchange, acid base balance
respiratory
glands that make the ear wax
ceruminous
groups of cells with similar structure and function
tissue
how many amino acids compose most of our proteins
20
how many calories are in 1 gram of lipid
9
how many calories are in 1 gram of protein
4.5
intercellular material
matrix
is one of the involuntary muscles
cardiac or smooth muscles
it controls what goes into and out of the cell
cell membrane
light and dark bands in the skeletal muscle
striations
a liquid droplet taken into the cell
pinocytosis
list 2 characteristics of living things
respond, reproduce
located near blood vessels and release heparin and histamine
mast cells
lymph nodes, spleen, thymus, and tonsils
lymphatic
major component of blood and other bodily fluids
water
makes proteins they are sometimes called the protein factories
ribosomes
makes up about 2/3 of the body’s weight
water
the matrix is in layers
bone
means more than one layer
stratified
modifies the protein in the cell and sends them to correct organelle
Golgi apparatus
the molecules are bonded to a carrier molecule
receptor mediated
molecules are forced to move from higher pressure areas to lower pressure areas
filtration
most common, large star shaped cells that produce fibers in the matrix
fibroblasts
