ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY OPENSTAX
TESTED QUESTIONS AND COMPLETE
SOLUTIONS
◉ Anabolism
Answer: The process in which smaller simpler molecules are
combined into larger more complex substances. Combining small
molecules in the food you eat into complex chemicals it needs.
◉ Catabolism
Answer: The process in which larger more complex molecules are
broken down into smaller simpler molecules. Release energy.
◉ Metabolism
Answer: Catabolism and anabolism combined. The sum of all
reactions that take place in the body.
◉ Adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
Answer: The chemical compound every cell in your body uses to
store and release energy. The cell stores energy (anabolism) of
ATP then is broken down (catabolism) and a controlled amount of
energy is released for the cell to perform its job.
◉ Responsiveness
, Answer: the ability of an organism to adjust to changes in its
internal and external environments. (move towards food is
external, sweat and dilated blood vessels to decrease body
temperature).
◉ Development
Answer: all of the changes the body goes through in life. includes
differentiation. Also includes Growth and repair.
◉ Differentiation
Answer: Unspecialized cells become specialized in structure and
function to perform certain tasks in the body.
◉ Growth
Answer: The increase in body size. Also increase size in existing
cells
◉ Reproduction
Answer: The formation of a new organism from parent organisms.
Prevents the end of complex organisms.
◉ Oxygen
Answer: Atmospheric air is only about 20% oxygen. but is a key
component to keeping people alive and reactions that produce
ATP. Brain damage is likely within 5 min. without oxygen and
death is likely within 10 minutes.
