how do cells reproduce?
an original cell divides and produces two identical daughter cells
What are the 5 survival needs?
Nutrients – chemical substances used for energy and cell building

Oxygen – needed for metabolic reactions

Water – provides the necessary environment for chemical reactions

Maintaining normal body temperature – necessary for chemical reactions to occur at life-sustaining rates

Atmospheric pressure – required for proper breathing and gas exchange in the lungs
The three interdependent components of control mechanisms are:
Receptor – monitors the environments and responds to changes (stimuli)

Control center – determines the set point at which the variable is maintained

Effector – provides the means to respond to the stimulus
In negative feedback systems, the output shuts off the original stimulus, give an example.
Example: Regulation of blood glucose levels
In positive feedback systems, the output enhances or exaggerates the original stimulus, example.
Example: Regulation of blood clotting
