NUSCTX 10, MIDTERM 1 - UC BERKELEY
2026|COMPLETE EXAM SET WITH
VERIFIED QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Cellular Respiration - correct-answer -The biochemical pathway by which cells
release energy from the chemical bonds of food molecules and provide that
energy for the essential processes of life.
Oxidation/Reduction - correct-answer -Losing electrons/gaining electrons
4 Types of Tissue - correct-answer -Muscle
Nervous
Epithelial
Connective
,2|Page
Homeostasis - correct-answer -Internal constancy
Scientific Method - correct-answer -Identify the Problem
Gather Data
Make a Hypothesis
Test the Hypothesis (Experimental)
Does the New Data Agree?
Falsifiable Hypotheses - correct-answer -Testability
Cohort Studies - correct-answer -Involve following groups of people over time.
There are two primary purposes for these studies.

Retrospective Studies - correct-answer -Study in which the investigator defines
the sample and collects data about the predictor variables after the outcomes
have occurred.
Prospective Studies - correct-answer -Study in which the investigator defines the
sample and collects data about the predictor variables before any outcomes have
occurred.
Calorie - correct-answer -The energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram
of water through 1 °C
Hess' Law - correct-answer -The total amount of heat produced or consumed
when a chemical system changes from an initial state to a final state is
independent of the way in which this change is brought about - can't get
something from nothing.
, 4|Page
Energy Balance - correct-answer -Energy In (the food you eat) - Energy Out
(expenditures)
Bomb Calorimetry - correct-answer -Used to estimate energy content of food but
does not tell how efficiently our bodies would use a food
Surface Law - correct-answer -The metabolic rate (heat production per unit time)
of an animal is proportional to their respective surface area
BMR Prediction by Weight - correct-answer -M=70.5 W^(0.75)
ATP - correct-answer -Adenosine Triphosphate; produced in mitochondria
