chemical-cell-tissue-organ-organ system-organism

New cards
2

atom

New cards
3

atom nucleus contains (2)

in molecular formula the subscript means...

of atoms

New cards
8

9

element def., what element most common body?

New cards
10

cation

net + charge = Loss e-

New cards
11

anion

net - charge = Gain e

New cards
12

redox rxn (reduction, oxidation) (OIL-RIG)

Transfer of electrons= Gives e = oxidized Receives e = reduced OIL = oxidation is loss RIG = reduction is gain

New cards
13

Molecules with unpaired electrons = unstable Initiates cascade of disturbances = steals e from molecules if not stopped = oxidative stress (aging, heart disease, cancer, etc)

New cards
14

New cards
37

mitochondria

New cards
38

passive transport mechanisms (3)

simple diffusion = high to low conc. faccilitated diffusion = transport protein high to low osmosis = water flow, low solute conc - high solute conc.

New cards
39

active transport mechanisms (3)

carrier mediated active transport = transport protein low to high conc. exocytosis = vesicle out of cell endocytosis = vesicle into cell

New cards
40

primary tissue types (4)

New cards
41

epithelial tissue

Covers and lines body, organs, cavities

Role in communicating by receiving and responding to stimuli

New cards
44

muscle tissue

New cards
45

organ level

Group of tissues that combine to carry out coordinated functions

New cards
46

digestive system consists of.. (2)
