13.What elements make up 96% of the body weight? - ANSWER ✔ Carbon,
hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen.
14.What are elements composed of? - ANSWER ✔ Atoms.
15.What is an atom? - ANSWER ✔ Atom is the smallest unit of an element.
16.What is an atom composed of? - ANSWER ✔ A proton, neutron, and
electron.
,17.Where are the protons and neutrons located? - ANSWER ✔ In the nucleus.
18.Protons carry a _____ charge. - ANSWER ✔ Positive electric charge.
19.Neutrons carry _______ charge. - ANSWER ✔ No electrical charge.
20.Electrons carry a ______ charge. - ANSWER ✔ Negative electrical charge.
21.______ is the simplest and smallest atom. - ANSWER ✔ Hydrogen.
22.What is a compound? - ANSWER ✔ If a molecule is built from two or more
different elements.
23.What is the atomic number? - ANSWER ✔ The number of protons in the
nucleus.
24.How is the atomic mass determined? - ANSWER ✔ By adding the numbers
of the protons and neutrons in the nucleus.
25.Nucleus - ANSWER ✔ Control center of the cell;contains most of the DNA
26.What is the Endocrine system? - ANSWER ✔ - regulates vital processes in
the body including growth, homeostasis, metabolism, and sexual
development. Endocrine organs secrete hormones to regulate body
processes.
EX: pituitary gland, pineal gland, thymus, ovaries, testes, thyroid gland
, 27.What is the Circulatory system? - ANSWER ✔ - The main function of the
circulatory system is to transport nutrients and gasses to cells and tissues
throughout body. This is accomplished by the circulation of blood. Two
components of this system are the cardiovascular and lymphatic systems.
28.What is the Cardiovascular system? - ANSWER ✔ - This system is
comprised of the heart, blood, and blood vessels. The beating of the heart
drives the cardiac cycle which pumps blood throughout body.
29.What is the lymphatic system? - ANSWER ✔ - This system is a vascular
network of tubules and ducts that collect, filter, and return lymph to blood
circulation. As a component of the immune system, the lymphatic system
produces and circulates immune cells called lymphocytes.
EX: lymph vessels, lymph nodes, thymus, spleen, tonsils
30.What is the Immune system? - ANSWER ✔ - A defense system that protects
the body not only from pathogens, but also from allergens, such as pollens,
bee venom, and some of our own cells that have gone awry (cancer cells).
31.What is the Respiratory system? - ANSWER ✔ - provides the body with
oxygen via gas exchange between air from the outside environment and
gases in the blood.
EX: lungs, nose, trachea, bronchi
32.What is the Digestive system? - ANSWER ✔ - breaks down food polymers
into smaller molecules to provide energy for the body. Digestive juices and
enzymes are secreted to break down the carbohydrates, fat, and protein in
food.
EX: mouth, stomach, intestines, rectum
