Biomedical Science 2.1 ACTUAL
UPDATED QUESTIONS AND CORRECT
ANSWERS
Adenosine Trip-Phosphate (ATP) - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅A compound composed of
adenosine and three phosphate groups that supplies energy for many biochemical cellular
processes.
Biomolecule - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅A large molecule, or macromolecule, produced
by living organisms. Examples include: 88li7lk nucleic acids, (DNA and RNA),
carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids.
Blood Plasma - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅The pale yellow, liquid portion of blood that
consists of water and dissolved substances, including sugars, lipids, metabolic waste
products, amino acids, hormones, and vitamins.
Blood Pressure - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅The pressure that blood exerts upon the walls
of blood vessels, especially arteries, usually measured with a sphygmomanometer and
expressed ni millimeters of mercury.
Carbohydrate - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅A compound, such as sugar, starch and cellulose,
found in foods and living tissues that can be broken down and used for energy.
Chemical Reaction - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅A process where atoms and/or molecules
are rearranged to transform matter.
Cholesterol - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅A lipid that is an essential component of animal
cell membranes and acts as a precursor molecule for the synthesis of other biologically
important steroids.
Diagnosis - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅The process of determining which disease or
condition explains a person's symptoms and signs.
, Diastole - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅The stage in a heartbeat when the heart is relaxed and
the heart chambers fill with blood.
Erythrocyte (Red Blood Cell) - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅Hemoglobin-rich, red blood cells
that transport oxygen through a body. Erythrocytes give the red color to vertebrate blood and
do not have nuclei.
Glucagon - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅A hormone secreted by pancreatic endocrine cells
that raises blood glucose levels; an antagonist hormone to insulin.
HIPPA - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act; A
set of U.S. national standards that protect an individual's privacy rights related to their
personal medical information.
Homeostasis - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅The maintenance of stable internal physiological
conditions (like body temperature or the pH of blood), which enables the optimal functioning
of an organism.
Hormone - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅A signaling molecule produced by glands. A
hormone induces a specific effect on the activity of cells.
Hypertension - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅An abnormally high blood pressure.
Insulin - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅A protein hormone is secreted by the pancreas;
essential for the metabolism of carbohydrates and the regulation of glucose levels in the
blood.
Leukocyte (White Blood Cell) - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅One of the many cells in the
blood that lack hemoglobin but have a nucleus and are active in the immune response.
Lymphocytes, Monocytes, Neutrophils, Eosinophils, and Basophils are leucocytes.
Metabolism - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅The chemical reaction processes of breaking down
molecules for energy and of using simple building blocks to build up more complex
molecules needed for growth and repair.
