Homeostasis
Maintain of a stable internal environment, necessary for normal body functioning and to sustain life.
Major components of the feedback system
1. Receptors
2. Control Center
3. Effectors
Negative Feedback
Most homeostatic controls mechanism, shuts off the original stimulus, or reduces it's intensity.
Positive Feedback
Increase the original stimulus to push variable farther.

ex. Child birth, blood clotting
Kinetic Energy
Energy in action
Potential Energy
Energy in position; stored; inactive
Atom
Building blocks for each element
subatomic particles
neutrons, protons, electrons
Molecules
two or more atoms held together by chemical bonds
Compound
two or more different types of atoms chemically bonded together
Mixture
two or more components physically intermixed. (NOT chemically bonded)
Ion
Charged atoms resulting from the loss or gain of an electron.
Ionic bonds
form between atoms by the transfer of one or more electrons.
Covalent bond
formed by sharing of two or more electrons.
Exergonic reactions
reactions that release energy.

example exercise
Endergonic reaction
reactions whose products contain more potential energy than did it's reactants.

example storage form
Metabolism
the sum of all chemical reactions in the body
Catabolism
breaking down of a large complex molecule into smaller, simpler ones.

example: digestion
Acid
releases H+ and are therefore proton donors.
Bases
release OH- and are proton acceptors
