Question 1

• Isotopes Isotopes are atoms with the same number
  of protons but differ in number of neutrons
  e.g., a carbon atom has six protons but may have
  more or less than usual six neutrons
• Valence Shell Outer shell of an atom. Atoms with
  few electrons in their valence shell tend to have
  more free electrons since these valence electrons
  are more loosely bound to the nucleus.

• Ionic Bonds Ionic bonds form when electrons are
  transferred from one atom to another. Losing or
  gaining electrons, atoms participating in ionic
  reactions fill outer shells, and are more stable.
• Covalent Bonds Covalent bonds result when two
  atoms share electrons so each atom has octet of
  electrons in the outer shell. . Structural
  formulas represent shared atom as a line between
  two atoms e.g., single covalent bond (H-H),
  double covalent bond (OO)Three dimensional shape

  and tubes of the body, and cover the internal
  organs.

98
ContinueQuestion 70

• Muscle Three kinds of muscle are found in
  vertebrates
• Skeletal muscle is made of long fibers whose
  contraction provides the force of locomotion and
  other voluntary body movements.
• Smooth muscle lines the walls of the hollow
  structures of the body, such as the intestine,
  urinary bladder, uterus, and blood vessels. Its
  contraction, which is involuntary, reduces the
  size of these hollow organs.
• The heart is made of cardiac muscle.

ContinueQuestion 71

• Mesodermlayer forms in the embryos of
  triploblastic animals. During gastrulation, some
  of the cells migrating inward contribute to the
  mesoderm, an additional layer between the
  endoderm and the ectoderm.
• The formation of a mesoderm led to the
  development of a coelom. Organs formed inside a
  coelom can freely move, grow, and develop
  independently of the body wall while fluid
  cushions and protects them from shocks
• Forms the skeletal muscle, the skeleton, the
  dermis of skin, connective tissue, the urogenital
  system, the heart, blood (lymph cells), and the
  spleen

  pH of the blood.

107
Question 75

• Systemic circulation Systemic circulation
  supplies nourishment to all of the tissue located
  throughout your body, with the exception of the
  heart and lungs because they have their own
  systems. Systemic circulation is a major part of
  the overall circulatory system.
• Pulmonary circulation Pulmonary circulation is
  the movement of blood from the heart, to the
  lungs, and back to the heart again. This is just
  one phase of the overall circulatory system.

108
Question 76

  meets antigen? B cell differentiates into plasma
  cells and memory cells ? plasma cells produce
  antiboides ?antibodies eliminate antigen (humoral
  immunity)
• Secondary immune response antigen invader ?
  memory cells recognize antigen and pump out
  antibodies much quicker than primary response ?
  antibodies eliminate antigen

112
Question 80

• Kidney The kidneys are bean-shaped organs, each
  about the size of a fist. They are located near
  the middle of the back, just below the rib cage,
  one on each side of the spine. The kidneys are
  sophisticated reprocessing machines. Every day, a
  persons kidneys process about 200 quarts of
  blood to sift out about 2 quarts of waste
  products and extra water. The wastes and extra
  water become urine, which flows to the bladder
  through tubes called ureters. The bladder stores
  urine until releasing it through urination

• Sympathetic Nervous System It is the part of
  the Fright and FlightResponse. It uses energy -
  your blood pressure increases, your heart beats
  faster, and digestion slows down
• Parasympathetic Nervous System Read and Digest
  response. It works to save you energy by lowering
  blood pressure, heart beat slows, and digestion
  starts.

116
Question 84

• Glial CellsA supportive cell in the central
  nervous system -- the brain and spinal cord.
  Glial cells do not conduct electrical impulses
  (as opposed to neurons, which do). The glial
  cells surround neurons and provide support for
  them and insulation between them. Glial cells are
  capable of extensive signaling in response to a
  diversity of stimuli.

117
Question 85

• There are three parts that make up a neuron
• Cell Body Main body of the neuron
• Dendrite is one of many short, branched
  processes of a neuron that help bring the nerve
  impulses toward the cell body
• Axons are longer extensions that leave from a
  neuron and carry the impulse away from the cell
  body toward target cells.

118
Question 86

  organ, as of smell or taste, that responds to
  chemical stimuli
• Photoreceptors A nerve ending, cell, or group of
  cells specialized to sense or receive light.

119
Question 87

• A skeletal muscle fiber shows striations.
• These straitions result from a specific
  arrangements of proteins inside the myofibre. The
  two principal type of proteins are myosin
  (forming the thick filament) and actin (forming
  thin filaments)
• The sarcomere is the distance between two Z lines
  which are formed by the joining points of the
  thin filaments. The lighter I band represents
  areas where the thin filaments are present while
  the H band is where both actin and myosin run
  parallel to each other.

  efficiently

126
Question 93

• Erythrocytes Red blood cells that contains the
  protein hemoglobin
• Leukocytes White blood cells that function for
  the defense of the organisms
• Platelets or thrombocytes these blood cells
  are responsible for stopping blood around the
  wound.

127
Question 94

• Each heartbeat has two basic parts diastole or
  relaxation, and atrial and ventricular systole
  (SIS-toe-lee), or contraction.
• During diastole, the atria and ventricles of your
  heart relax and begin to fill with blood. At the
  end of diastole, your heart's atria contract
  (atrial systole) and pump blood into the
  ventricles. The atria then begin to relax. Next,
  your heart's ventricles contract (ventricular
  systole) and pump blood out of your heart.

128
Question 95

• Humoral immunity involves the T lymphocytes cells
  and B lymphocytes
• The plasma cells are the factories that produce
  antibodies that function in the elimination of
  any cell containing on its surface the antigen
  that it has been summoned to killed. These
  antibodies, when released, bind to the antigens,
  immobilzing them and marking them for the
  marophages to engulf and eliminate

129
Question 96

  adrenal glands released aldosterone

131
Question 98

• Renin-angiotensin system is the hormone that
  regulates blood pressure

132
Question 99

• Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) stimulates
  reabsorption of water by the collecting ducts of
  the nephron.
• ADH is a hormone stored in the posterior
  pituitary gland in the brain. It regulates water
  in the body. ADH acts on the kidneys to increase
  total body water. This increases blood volume and
  blood pressure.
• These cells sense the concentration of particles
  in the blood. When the concentration is high, the
  pituitary releases more ADH. This causes more
  water to be retained to dilute the body fluids.
  When the concentration is low, the pituitary
  releases less ADH.

133
Question 100

• Steroid hormones are lipid-soluble molecules
  that pass through the cell membrane and combine
  with cytoplasmic proteins.
• Function Reproduction, glucose metabolism, and
  the response to stress and salt balance

134
Question 101

• Peptide (Protein) Hormone water-soluble hormones
  comprised of a few amino acids that introduce a
  series of chemical reactions to change the cell's
  metabolism. Examples include hormones of the
  pituitary gland and parathyroid glands.
• The proteins are too large to move into cells and
  thus bind to receptors on the surface of cells

135
Question 102

• Secondary Messengers In response to the binding
  of a protein hormone, a change in the receptor
  that leads to the activation of molecules inside
  the cell, which serve as intermedairies,
  activating other proteins and enzymes that carry
  out the mission
• Two examples
• cAMP
• G proteins
• Calicum ions

136
Question 103

• Insulin produced in the pancreas
• Three functions of insulin include
• To release insulin in the pancreas to be stored
  in the glycogen
• Used for energy
• Sometimes between meals, your glucose level drops
  below the desired glucose level this will cause
  your glycogen into action causing the pancreas
  into action.

137
Section 104

• Glucagon Stimulates conversion of glycogen into
  glucose.
• Stored in the liver
• Raises the blood sugar
• Stores blood sugar (in the liver) and will
  stimulate the pancreas to release insulin from
  the pancreas when blood sugar (glucose) drops.

138
Question 105

• Introduction development begins as soon as the
  egg is fertilized to produce a diploid zygote
  (2n).
• Cleavage cytoplasm is distributed unevenly to
  the daughter cells but genetic information is
  distributed unevenly.
• These cleavage division take a while in humans.
  The first three division takes 3 days to
  complete. After the fourth division, the one cell
  has become 16 cells and is now called a morula.

139
ContinueQuestion 105

• As it undergoes it next round of cell division,
  fluid fills the center of the morula to create
  the hollow-looking structure known as the
  blastula.
• Gastrulation (also called morphogenesis)- cells
  separate into three primary layers called germ
  layers, which eventually give rise to the
  different tissues of an adult
• Holoblastic Total or entire cleavage
• Meroblastic Partial Cleavage

151
Question 112

• Exponential growth the population grows at a
  rate that creates a J-shaped curve. The
  population grows as if there are no limitation as
  to how large it can get (biotic potential)
• Logistic growth the population grows at a rate
  that creates an S-shaped curve similar to the
  initial portion. Limiting factors are the
  culprits responsible for the S shaped of the
  curve, putting a cap on the size to which the
  population can grow.

152
Question 113

• K-selected populations Populations of roughly
  constant size whose members have low reproductive
  rates. The offspring produced by these K-selected
  organisms require extensive postnatal care until
  they have sufficiently matured. Humans are an
  example
• R-selected Populations that experience rapid
  growth of the J-curve variety. The offspring
  produced by R-selected organisms are numerous,
  mature quite rapidly, and require very little
  postnatal care. Also known as opportunistic
  population

153
Question 114

• Survivorship Curves
• Type I individuals live long life until an age
  is reached where the death rate in the population
  increases rapidly, causing the steep downward
  end. Example Human and larger mammals
• Type II Individuals have a death that is
  reasonably constant across the age spectrum.
  Example lizards, hydra, other small mammals
• Type III Individuals have steep downward curve
  for those of young age, representing a death rate
  that flattens out once a certain age is reached .
