1. What type of bond attracts one water molecule to an- A Hydrogen Bond
other?
2. When a woman is giving birth, the head of the baby Positive Feedback

determines the shape of a cell, and directs the move-
ment of substances through a cell?
4. __________ differ from one another in their number of Isotopes
neutrons and atomic mass
5. The sternum (breastbone) is __________ to the vertebral Anterior
column.
6. Three common components of a feedback loop are receptor, integrating (con-
_________, __________, and __________. trol) center, effector
7. Which of these is an example of active transport? Transport of Na+ from a
place of low concentration
to a place of higher con-
centration
8. A red blood cell is placed in a hypertonic solution. This higher, shrink
means the concentration of solutes in the solution is

9. Chemicals in a solution can move down a concen- high, low
tration gradient. This means the chemical will move

body surface, and heat is lost. This is an example of
__________.

somes of a cell were destroyed?

__________.
13. The plasma membrane is mostly made of molecules Phospholipids
that have hydrophilic heads and hydrophobic tails.
These molecules are called _________.
14. A surgeon needs to be familiar with different versions Anatomical Variation
of anatomy. This is because of the phenomenon of
_____.
15. Cytokinesis overlaps with which phase of mitosis? Telophase
16. Sodium has an atomic number of 11 and an atomic 12 neutrons and 11 pro-
mass of 23. Sodium has __________. tons
17. The fluid outside of a cell is called __________. extracellular fluid
