What is the difference between anatomy and physiology? --Verified--
Solution----Anatomy is the study of the structure of body parts, whereas
physiology is the study of the function of body parts
What are the levels of organization? --Verified--Solution----subatomic
particles, atom, molecule, macromolecule, organelle, cell, tissue, organ,
organ system, organism
What are the requirements of life? --Verified--Solution----Water, food,
oxygen, heat, pressure
What are the characteristics of life? --Verified--Solution----Movement
(internal or gross); Responsiveness (reaction to internal or external
change); Growth (increase in size without change in shape);
Reproduction (new organisms or new cells); Respiration (use of oxygen;
removal of CO2); Digestion (breakdown of food); Absorption
(movement of substances through membranes and into fluids);
Circulation (movement within body fluids); Assimilation (changing
nutrients into chemically different forms); Excretion (removal of
metabolic wastes)
Define homeostasis --Verified--Solution----Body's maintenance of a
stable environment
What is a homeostatic mechanism? --Verified--Solution----the body
maintains homeostasis through a number of self-regulating control
systems; examples are regulating body temperature and pressure
sensitive receptors to regulate body pressure

Define matter --Verified--Solution----Anything that takes up space and
has mass (weight). It is composed of elements.
Define element --Verified--Solution----fundamental substance composed
of chemically identical atoms
Define atoms --Verified--Solution----smallest particle of an element;
basic unit of matter
What is the structure of an atom? --Verified--Solution----An atom
consists of a nucleus containing protons and neutrons, with electrons in
orbit around the nucleus.
Atomic nucleus --Verified--Solution----the nucleus contains protons and
neutrons
Proton --Verified--Solution----subatomic particle that has a positive
charge
Neutron --Verified--Solution----subatomic particle that has no charge
Electron --Verified--Solution----subatomic particle that has a negative
charge
Atomic number --Verified--Solution----number or protons in nucleus
Atomic mass --Verified--Solution----number of protons plus number of
neutrons
What are covalent bonds? --Verified--Solution----Covalent bonds are
formed when atoms share electrons to become stable with filled
outer shells
, 3 | Page
What are ionic bonds? --Verified--Solution----2 oppositely charged
atoms form this bond when electrons are transferred from one atom to
another atom
What are hydrogen bonds? --Verified--Solution----Weak attraction
between positive end of one polar molecule and negative end of another
polar molecule; formed between water molecules
Define ion --Verified--Solution----When atoms gain or lose electrons,
they become ions.
Define synthesis reaction --Verified--Solution----Two or more atoms or
molecules are joined together
Define decomposition reaction --Verified--Solution----Larger molecules
are broken down into smaller ones
Define exchange reaction --Verified--Solution----Parts of molecules
trade places
Define reactant --Verified--Solution----The starting materials of the
reaction - the atoms, ions, or molecules
Define product --Verified--Solution----Substances formed at the end of
the chemical reaction
Define catalyst --Verified--Solution----influence the rates of chemical
reactions
What is an acid? --Verified--Solution----Electrolytes that release
hydrogen ions in water
What is a base? --Verified--Solution----Electrolytes that release ions that
combine with hydrogen ions in water
