BIO 143 Final Exam
homeostasis - ANS-process by which organisms maintain a relatively stable internal
environment
liver - ANS-produces bile; main reserve of glycogen in body
What are excessive carbohydrates stored as in the body? - ANS-glycogen and
triglyceride
anemia - ANS-deficiency of iron
amino acids - ANS-can be converted into glucos; building blocks of proteins
pleural - ANS-lungs
buffer - ANS-compound that prevents sharp, sudden changes in pH
gluconeogenesis - ANS-formation of glucose from noncarbohydrate sources; least likely
to occur during fasting
normal resting heart rate - ANS-60-80 bpm
acetyl CoA - ANS-the entry compound for the citric acid cycle in cellular respiration,
formed from a fragment of pyruvate attached to a coenzyme
active transport - ANS-the movement of materials through a cell membrane using
energy
osmosis - ANS-diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane
insulin - ANS-a protein hormone secreted by the pancreas that is essential for the
metabolism of carbohydrates and the regulation of glucose levels in the blood.
NAD molecule - ANS-primarily composed of niacin
gastroenterology - ANS-study of the stomach and intestines
cardiology - ANS-study of the heart
, neurology - ANS-study of the nervous system
endocrinology - ANS-study of the endocrine system
pulmonology - ANS-study of the lungs
immunology - ANS-study of the immune system
myology - ANS-study of muscles
orthopedics - ANS-branch of medicine dealing with the muscular and skeletal systems
and their problems
urology - ANS-study of the urinary tract
dermatology - ANS-study of the skin
gynecology - ANS-study of the female reproductive system and its diseases
DNA - ANS-deoxyribonucleic acid, a self-replicating material present in nearly all living
organisms as the main constituent of chromosomes; carrier of genetic information.
composition of DNA - ANS-Adenine, Thymine, Guanine, Cytosine
lysosome - ANS-an organelle containing digestive enzymes
mitochondria - ANS-powerhouse of the cell, organelle that is the site of ATP (energy)
production
ribosome - ANS-site of protein synthesis
nucleus - ANS-control center of the cell
cell membrane - ANS-thin, flexible barrier around a cell; regulates what enters and
leaves the cell
smooth endoplamic reticulum - ANS-builds protein and does specialized tasks like
digesting lipids and removes drugs; sends to golgi body.
