3 types of cartilage - ANS-Hyaline cartilage, elastic cartilage, fibrocartilage
3 types of muscle tissue - ANS-skeletal, smooth, and cardiac
Acidic solution - ANS-pH less than
7; indicates a greater concentration of H+
active transport - ANS-a carrier molecule transports substances from regions of lower
concentration to regions of higher concentration
Adipose Tissue - ANS-connective tissue designed to store fat; it is found beneath the skin,
around joints, padding the kidneys and other internal organs, and in certain abdominal
membranes
Anabolism - ANS-Small molecules are built up into larger molecules, requiring energy
Atomic mass - ANS-number of protons plus number of neutrons
Atomic nucleus - ANS-the nucleus contains protons and neutrons
Atomic number - ANS-number or protons in nucleus
Basic solution - ANS-pH greater than 7; indicates a greater concentration of OH-
Canaliculi - ANS-small channels through matrix; necessary for nutrient and wast exchange
cardiac muscle tissue - ANS-heart movements; involuntary
Cartilage - ANS-rigid connective tissue that provides a supportive framework; lacks blood supply
Catabolism - ANS-larger molecules are broken down into smaller molecules, releasing energy
cell membrane - ANS-regulates the movement of substances in and out of the cell; participates
in signal transduction; and helps cells adhere to other cells
, Centrosome - ANS-structure made up of two hollow cylinders called centrioles that function in
the separation of chromosomes during cell division
chromatin - ANS-It condenses into chromosomes during cell division; it is made of protein and
DNA
Cilia - ANS-motile extensions from the cell
codons - ANS-set of three nucleotides in a messenger RNA molecule corresponding to one of
the 20 types of amino acids
condrocyte - ANS-cartilage cell
cytoplasm - ANS-consists of a clear liquid (cytosol), a supportive cytoskeleton, and networks of
membranes and organelles
cytosol - ANS-the liquid part of the cytoplasm in which various organelles are suspended
Define amino acids - ANS-building block of proteins
Define atoms - ANS-smallest particle of an element; basic unit of matter
Define catalyst - ANS-influence the rates of chemical reactions
Define decomposition reaction - ANS-Larger molecules are broken down into smaller ones
Define element - ANS-fundamental substance composed of chemically identical atoms
Define exchange reaction - ANS-Parts of molecules trade places
Define homeostasis - ANS-Body's maintenance of a stable environment
Define ion - ANS-When atoms gain or lose electrons, they become ions.
Define matter - ANS-Anything that takes up space and has mass (weight). It is composed of
elements.
Define product - ANS-Substances formed at the end of the chemical reaction
Define reactant - ANS-The starting materials of the reaction - the atoms, ions, or molecules
Define synthesis reaction - ANS-Two or more atoms or molecules are joined together
