Digestion is controlled by a cascade series of hormones. What hormone is release by the arrival of chyme into the small intestine? - Answer both CCK and Secretin Which phylum or phyla have a gastrovascular cavity? - Answer Cnidaria and Platyhelminthes What is the target tissue for calcitonin and how does it respond to the binding of this hormone? - Answer The bones respond by taking up calcium from the blood. You dissect an animal and it has a short intestine and a very small c...

Proteins - Answer Nitrogen-containing macronutrients made from amino acids linked together via peptide bonds Structure of Amino Acids - Answer -central carbon bonded to hydrogen atom -nitrogen-containing amino group -carboxylic acid group -R group which determines amino acid Essential Amino Acids - Answer The 9 amino acids that MUST be obtained by diet Non-Essential Amino Acids - Answer The 5 amino acids that DO NOT need to be obtained from diet Conditionally Essential...

vertebrates - Answer animals with backbones invertebrates - Answer Animals without backbones animal groups in order of appearance on earth - Answer animals tied to moist environments - Answer amphibians/ animals who reproduce in water animals that are fully terrestrial - Answer reptiles key adaptations for being terrestrial - Answer amniotic eggs and internal fertilization Sponges - Answer -Body is a series of channels: water IN via pores, central canal, OUT via oscul...

What is plasmolysis? - Answer Plasmolysis is the process in which cells lose water in a hypertonic solution In which osmotic environment will a cell (or potato slice) shrivel - if the environment is saltier than the cells cytoplasm or if the environment is less salty than the cells cytoplasm? will the tissue shrivel or swell - Answer saltier environment - the cell will shrivel less salty environment - cell will swell what is the difference between passive and active flow of ions or ...

evolution - Answer living things change over time natural selection - Answer explains process of descent with modification (strongest live out weak creating stronger proceeding generation) fossils prove 2 things... - Answer 1. life on earth is very old 2. living things have changed over time (some not so much) "connectedness" in fossils - Answer theory explaining observations that don't make sense in terms of natural causes. why whales today have pelvic bone, b/c...

Biology 102 Chapter 5 notes explain how cells use energy through photosynthesis and cellular respiration. Learn how metabolic pathways work, how enzymes drive reactions, and how plants convert sunlight into glucose through light reactions and the Calvin cycle. These notes also cover how mitochondria break down glucose during glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation to produce ATP, and how fermentation provides an alternative when oxygen is limited.

Biology 102 Chapter 4 notes introduce the structure and function of cells, comparing prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and explaining the plasma membrane, diffusion, osmosis, and transport processes. These notes also cover major eukaryotic organelles, including the nucleus, ER, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, vacuoles, mitochondria, chloroplasts, and the cytoskeleton, and show how membranes, compartments, and endosymbiosis shape cell function.

Biology 102 Chapter 3 notes explain the chemistry of life, including atoms, elements, isotopes, chemical bonds, and organic molecules, along with the major biomolecules that make up living organisms. These notes cover proteins, carbohydrates, nucleic acids, lipids, water chemistry, polarity, solutions, and the pH scale, showing how chemical structure and reactions shape all biological processes.

Biology 102 Chapter 1 and 2 notes cover the nature of science, the scientific method, characteristics of life, the biological hierarchy, and scientific literacy. They explain how scientific claims are tested, how real science differs from pseudoscience, and how evidence-based reasoning shapes our understanding of the natural world.
