polymers defintion - ✔✔made up of monomers, joined together by a process called dehydration
synthesis
polysaccharides - ✔✔polymers of simple sugars linked together by dehydration synthesis
positive feedback mechanism - ✔✔result or response enhances the original stimulus so that the
response is accelerated. moves in the same direction as the initial change.
usually control infrequent events that do not require continuous adjustments. +feedback mechanisms
are often referred to as cascades.
examples: blood clotting, birth
potential energy - ✔✔stored, inactive energy
primary structure of protein - ✔✔forms a polypeptide chain
prophase - ✔✔chromosomes form, nucleoli disappear, centrosomes separate and move to opposite
ends of cell
regional terms - ✔✔must know: refer to other quizlet: Regional Terms Anatomy
ribosomes - ✔✔on rough endoplasmic reticulum
sagittal plane - ✔✔divides body into right or left parts
secondary structure of protein - ✔✔chain forms spirals and sheets
, simple diffusion - ✔✔nonpolar and lipid-soluble substances diffuse directly through the lipid bilayer.0-
6.9 - acid or base? - ✔✔Acid
3 types of cell junctions - ✔✔tight, gap, desmosome
3 types of osmosis - ✔✔isotonic: balanced,
hypertonic- water leaves, cell shrinks, outside of the cell has more solutes
hypotonic- water enters, cell swells, outside of the cell as less solutes
4 types of diffusion - ✔✔osmosis, simple, carrier-meditated facilitated, channel-meditated facilitated
7.1-14 acid or base? - ✔✔base
abdominopelvic - ✔✔contains the abdominal and pelvic cavity
abdominal cavity contains the stomach, intestines, spleen, liver etc
pelvic cavity contains the urinary bladder, some reproductive organs and the rectum
Acids - ✔✔0-6.9 on the pH scale - proton donors, releases hydrogen ions
anaphase - ✔✔chromosomes split apart and become chromatin which are now their own, new
chromosomes.
anatomical positon - ✔✔body is erect with feet slightly apart, films face forward and thumbs point away
Anatomy defintion - ✔✔studies the structure of body parts and their relationships to one another
