True
False
Human cells do the following: (select all that are correct)
take in food and oxygen
eliminate waste
move and adapt to the environment
Use photosynthesis
perform special functions/each cell has a job
Mitosis results in egg and sperm cells
True
False
Mitosis is the process that results in cell replication and cell turn over
True
False
What is the body's ability to regulate its internal environment?
metabolism
homeostasis
digestion
sweating
What is the term used to describe chemical reactions constantly going on within the body's cells that result in growth, repair, energy release, use of food and secretions?
metabolism
homeostasis
digestion
sweating
Most homeostasis works on this system where conditions exceed a "set point" limit and trigger a reaction to restore the condition.
positive feedback system
negative feedback system
Define anabolism.
buildup of complex materials from simpler ones such as food and oxygen
breakdown/changing of complex materials into simpler ones. Release of energy and carbon dioxide
Define catabolism.
buildup of complex materials from simpler ones such as food and oxygen
breakdown/changing of complex materials into simpler ones. Release of energy and carbon dioxide
Tissue type: Covers the interior and exterior body surfaces. It forms a protective barrier. Found in the lining of blood vessels, lining of respiratory system, lining of digestive tract, outer skin covering.
Epithelial
Nervous
Connective
Muscle
Tissue type: Provides support for the body and connects its parts. Found: bone, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, fat, blood and lymph.
Epithelial
Nervous
Connective
Muscle
Tissue Type: Receives and transmits nerve impulses throughout the body. Found: Brain, spinal cord, nerves
Epithelial
Nervous
Connective
Muscle
Tissue Type: Composed of cells that can contract. Enables movement. Found: attached to bones for movement, found in organs (example heart) and the arteries and veins.
