Formed when two or more atoms combine

AB + CD -> AD + CB

Exchange Reaction

AB + CD <-> AD + CB

Reversible Reaction

A + B -> AB

Synthesis Reaction

AB -> A + B

Decomposition Reaction

Organic Compounds

Contain both hydrogen and carbon

Inorganic Compounds

All other compounds and they usually dissolve in water and release ions, making them electrolytes

RNA (Ribonucleic Acid)

Functions in protein synthesis and is single-stranded.

DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid)

Stores the molecular code in genes and is a twisted double strand

Facilitated Diffusion

Uses membrane proteins that function as carriers to move molecules across the cell membrane

Osmosis

A special case of diffusion in which water moves from an area of greater water concentration across a selectively permeable membrane to an area of lower water concentration

Active Transport

Uses ATP to move molecules from areas of low concentration to areas of high concentration through carrier molecules in cell membranes.

What are the four major types of tissue?

Epithelial, Connective, Muscular, and Nervous Tissues

Epithelial Tissue

Widespread throughout the body; it covers organs and lines body cavities and hollow organs

Function in protection, secretion, absorption, and excretion

Epithelial Tissue

Connective Tissue

Bind, support, protect, serve as frameworks, fill spaces, store fat, produce blood cells, protect against infection, and help repair tissue damage

Loose Connective Tissues

Areolar, Adipose, and Reticular Connective Tissue

3 Types of Muscle Tissue

Skeletal, Smooth, and Cardiac

Skeletal Muscle

Attached to bone and can be controlled by conscious effort (voluntary)

Smooth Muscle

Lacks striations, us uninucleated, and consists of spindle shaped cells. (Involuntary)

Cardiac Muscle Tissue

Found only in the heart and consists of branching fibers that are connected to each other with intercalated discs. (Involuntary)

Nervous Tissue

Found in the brain, spinal cord, and nerves

Organs

Body structures composed of two or more different tissues that perform specific functions.

3 Layers of the skin

Epidermis, Dermis, and Subcutaneous

Epidermis

Lacks blood vessels

Dermis

Binds the epidermis to underlying tissues

Sebaceous Glands

Associated with hair follicles and secrete sebum that waterproofs and mositurizes the hair shafts and skin

Eccrine Glands

Respond to body temperature

Apocrine Glands

Become active at puberty and respond to body temperature, stress, and sexual arousal.

Ceruminous Glands

Secrete wax in the ear canal

Mammary Glands

Secretes milk

When solute concentration increases water does what?

decreases

When solute concentration increases osmolarity does what?

Increases

What process of ATP is considered anaerobic?

Glycolysis
