Hypertonic Solution
A greater concentration of solutes lies outside the membrane. Water is drawn out of the cell by osmosis
Hypotonic Solution
a solution that contains less solute (more water) compared to the cytoplasm of the cell. osmosis causes water to have a net flow into the cell, thus, resulting in the swelling and expansion of the cell
Isotonic Solution
One that has the same salt concentration as cells and blood. Solutions that have same tonicity will result in no net flow of water across the cell membrane.
Transverse Section
cut made along a horizontal plane that divides upper and lower body
Midsagittal Section
sagittal section made down the median of the body
Frontal (coronal) section
cut made along a longitudinal plane; divides body into front and back sections
Sagital Section
cut made along a longitudinal plane; divides into right and left parts
Intermediate
between medial and lateral
Posterior
toward the back of the body or body structures
Anterior
toward the front of the body or body structures

Nutrients that support metabolism
it's volume decreases
What happens to a gas's volume when its temperature is decreased at a constant pressure
Formulating a hypothesis
Collecting data
Experimentation
Analyzing data
Drawing a conclusion
Steps in the Scientific Method
Reflects green and absorbs blue and red
What colors do chlorophyll absorb and reflect
Endocrine System
Organ system primarily responsible for regulating muscle growth
Velocity and mass
Momentum is the product of

Contains the brain and spinal cord
Ventral Body Cavity
Cavity near the front of the human body, and consists of the thoracic cavity and abdominopelvic cavity.
Frontal, Parietal, Temporal, Occipital
Lobes of the Brain
Cells characterized by having a distinct, membrane-bound nucleus.

cells that generally lack a true nucleus
Prokaryotic cells
Domain - Least Specific
Kingdom

Class
Order
Family
Genus
Species - Most Specific

Stages of Mitosis
Fermentation
The anaerobic breakdown of sugar into alcohol
Photosynthesis
The synthesis of complex organic material using carbon dioxide, water, inorganic salts, and light energy (from sunlight) captured by light-absorbing pigments, such as chlorophyll and other accessory pigments.
Metabolism
The process involving a set of chemical reactions that modifies a molecule into another for storage, or for immediate use in another reaction or as a by product.
Diffusion
a type of passive transport, therefore, it is a net movement of molecules in and out of the cell across the cell membrane along a concentration gradient.
Troposphere (closest)
Stratosphere
Mesosphere
Thermosphere (farthest)
Layers of the atmosphere
arteries
carries blood away from the heart
alveoli
tiny air sacs in the lungs where the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place
Transcription
the process of making a copy of genetic information stored in a DNA strand into a complementary strand of RNA (messenger RNA or mRNA) with the aid of RNA polymerases.
Translation
The creation of a protien wherein the genetic code carried by mRNA is decoded to produce the specific sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide chain.
Replication
The process of duplicating or producing an exact copy of a polynucleotide strand such as DNA.
Scurvy
Lack of Vitamin C might lead to this condition
Deductive Reasoning
Taking generalizations and applying them to specific examples
From left to right, less reactive to more reactive
In which direction does reactivity increase on the periodic table?
Greater
The greater the mass of an object, the _______ its kinetic energy.
Skeletal
The organ system primarily responsible for storing a variety of minerals and releasing them into the bloodstream as needed
The right atrium receives the "used" or deoxygenated, blood from the body and pumps it in to the right ventricle, from which it moves through the pulmonary artery to the lungs. Once it is oxygenated, it returns to the heart via the pulmonary veins through the left atrium, to the left ventricle and out through the aorta to the rest of the body.
Flow of blood in and out of the heart
Lateral
toward the outer sides of the body or body structures
Medial
toward the middle of the body or body structure
