Bio 201 Exam 1 Review
Anatomy - answer science of body structures and the relationships among them. First
studied by dissection, now modern imaging as well
Physiology - answer science of body functions- how it works. Much has been gained
through "comparative physiology"
Anabolism - answer endergonic; build larger molecules from smaller ones
Catabolism - answer exergonic; larger molecules are broken into smaller ones
Homeostasis - answer the body's ability to maintain relatively stable internal conditions
*function of human physiology!
Negative Feedback - answer a mechanism of response in which a stimulus initiates
reactions that REDUCE the stimulus
Positive Feedback - answer A physiological control mechanism in which a change in
some variable triggers mechanisms that amplify the change.
Signs - answer objectively measurable
Symptoms - answeronly measured by the patient; feelings
Molecule - answertwo or more atoms held together by covalent bonds
Solvency - answerability to dissolve matter
Cohesion - answer(physics) the intermolecular force that holds together the molecules
in a solid or liquid
Adhesion - answeran attraction between molecules of different substances
Thermal Stability - answerRefers to the temperature of waters ability to remain stable.
Carbohydrates - answersugars and starches
Monosaccharides - answersingle sugar molecules; glucose, fructose, galactose
Disaccharides - answerCarbohydrates that are made up of two monosaccharides
Lipids - answernonpolar molecules that are not soluble or mostly insoluble in water
