acid - CORRECT ANSWER - donates H+
active transport - CORRECT ANSWER - opposes the movement of solutes
by diffusion and prevents the distribution of dissolved substances from
reaching equilibrium; moves a substance against a concentration
gradient
Ex) sodium potassium pump- ion pump concentration gradients- moves
Na+ continuously out the cell and K+ into the cell; must expend ATP to
do this; maintains electrochemical gradient which gives cell potential
energy

electrons (very little weight)
, atomic number is based on protons amu is based on protons and
nuetrons
base - CORRECT ANSWER - donates OH-
basic qualities of life - CORRECT ANSWER - organization- each organism
has a complex structure and order
metabolism- the sum of all chemical reactions to occur within a body;
anabolism (smaller molecules form larger) and catabolism (larger
molecules are broken down to smaller)
growth and development- each organism assimilates materials from its
environment and often grows and develops
responsiveness- ability to sense and react to stimuli
regulation- ability to adjust or direct internal bodily function in the face
of environmental changes- homeostasis- ability of an organism to
maintain a consistent internal environment
