practice questions, clear explanations, and organized content review, it's the perfect prep tool to help
you study smarter and crush your first exam.
"Cholesterol is bad for you" - do you agree with this statement or not? - ✔✔-Do not agree. Cholesterol is
vital in maintaining the plasma membrane, however high amounts of low density lipoprotein cholesterol
can cause plaque buildup in arteries and may lead to a myocardial infarction or ischemic stroke. High
density lipoproteins are good cholesterol, they transport cholesterol decreasing the chance of
atheroscherotic plaque buildup.
Are polysaccharides soluble or not? - ✔✔-NOT soluble in water due to size and polymeric character
compare the 2 classes of proteins - ✔✔-Fibrous proteins: extended/strand-like, insoluble in water
Globular proteins: compact/ball-like, soluble in water
Define anatomy - ✔✔-the study of the parts of the body and how they relate to each other
define anitcodon - ✔✔-3-base sequence on tRNA
define codon - ✔✔-3-base sequence in mRNA
define electrons - ✔✔-negatively charged particles, located in orbital around nucleus
define homeostasis - ✔✔-maintenance of a relatively stable internal conditions even though the external
environment it changing
define hyperplasia - ✔✔-Growth by increase in cell number via mitosis
define hypertrophy - ✔✔-Growth by increase in cell size
, define neoplasia - ✔✔-uncontrolled increase in cell quantity
define neutrons - ✔✔-neutrally charged particles in nucleus
define physiology - ✔✔-the study of the function of the body's parts
define protons - ✔✔-positive charged particles in nucleus
define tonicicity - ✔✔-movement of water in and out of cells, can change the tone or shape of cells
define triplet - ✔✔-3-base sequence in DNA
describe acids - ✔✔-low pH, substances that release hydrogen ions (H+)=protons, also known as "proton
donors"
describe anaphase - ✔✔-daughter chromosomes serparate to opposite poles
describe bases - ✔✔-high pH, substances that accept H+, also known as "proton acceptors"
describe carbohydrates - ✔✔-contains sugar and starches, provides body with quick energy
describe cytokinesis - ✔✔-Cytoplasmic division
Describe euchromatin - ✔✔-DNA extended, unravelled from histone proteins, active form of chromatin
describe facilitated diffusion - ✔✔-polar/hydrophilic substances are "ferried" across the lipid bilayer of
the plasma membrane by transporters (carrier proteins)
