Metabolism
|
refers collectively to all of the chemical reactions in the body.
|
|
Metabolism can be divided into two different processes: _________ and __________.
|
catabolism and anabolism.
|
|
____________ refers to chemical reactions that breakdown complex organic compounds; essentially breaking molecules apart.
|
Catabolism
|
|
________refers to chemical reactions that combine simple substances into more complex molecules; essentially building larger molecules by joining together smaller ones.
|
Anabolism
|
|
Multi-cellular organisms grow from one unspecialized cell into many specialized cells through the process of _________ ___________
|
cellular differentiation.
|
|
Unspecialized or generalized cells are referred to as ______ _______because they can differentiate into many very specialized cells.
|
stem cells
|
|
negative feedback loop
|
We all know that in reality variables are constantly drifting out of the normal range (body temperature in the summer heat) and in order to maintain homeostasis the body will act to push the variable back towards the set point (sweating evaporative cooling). As a result, variables are kept within the normal range and healthy conditions are maintained. This is known as negative feedback and the process can be referred to as a negative feedback loop. Figure 1.2 illustrates a negative feedback loop. Another example of a negative feedback loop relates to blood pressure. Receptors in the large vessels near the heart monitor blood pressure. If blood pressure changes these receptors send signals to the portion of the brain responsible for maintaining blood pressure (i.e. the control center). The control center adjusts the heart rate to maintain the appropriate blood pressure. Remember, negative feedback loops maintain homeostasis and are “a good thing.”

|
Chem. Symbol
|
|
_______ are the smallest units of matter that retain the properties and charact. of an element
|

|
|
Atoms two parts are?
|
1. Electron “cloud/shells
2. Nucleus |
|
Electrons has what charged?
|
- charged
|
|
Neutrons has what charged?
|
uncharged
|
|

|
|
_____ is an atom that gives up or gains electrons
|
Ions
|
|
_________ is the combination of atoms that result when 2 or more atoms share electrons
|
Molecule
|
|
_________ is a molecule containing atoms of 2 or more elements
|
Compound
|
|
________ _________ are the forces that bind the atoms of molecules and compounds together, resisting separation
|
Chemical Bonds
|
|
Three types of chemical bonds are?
|
1) Ionic
2) Covalent 3) Hydrogen |
|
Ionic bond
|
Ionic bond: occurs when positively charged and negatively charged ions are attracted to each other
|
|
Covalent bond
|
Covalent bond: atoms form a molecule by sharing one or more pairs of their outer electrons
*The more pairs shared, the stronger the bond |
|
Hydrogen bonds
|
Form when a hydrogen atom with a partial + charge attracts the partial – charge of neighboring electronegative atoms
* Just say “NO” * Like velcro |
