INTRODUCTION TO SCIENTIFIC TERMINOLOGY The purpose of this document is to introduce root words and their definitions. These words play a vital role in Biology because many scientific terms are based on these words. Because these root words are Greek or Latin in origin‚ their meanings have remained consistent throughout time. By becoming familiar with root words and their definitions you can determine general meanings of many terms by simply applying these root word definitions. For example‚ the

Background information: 1) What is diffusion? Movement of a particular type of molecule from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. 2) How is diffusion used by living cells? Living cells bring in food‚ water and oxygen‚ and excrete wastes through the process of diffusion 3) List two body systems in vertebrates that are dependent on diffusion Digestive system and respirational system 4) What is meant by the term metabolism the chemical processes that occur within a

1) The mechanical and chemical receptors that control digestive activity are located in the walls of the GI tract organ. (854) 2) The chemical and mechanical processes of food breakdown are called digestion. (852-853) 3) The function of the hepatic portal circulation is to collect absorbed nutrients for metabolic processing and storage. (881) 4) When we ingest large molecules such as lipids‚ carbohydrates‚ and proteins‚ they must undergo catabolic reactions whereby enzymes split these

Discuss the relationship between distribution of muscle fibre type and performance. How might exercise training modify or change a person’s fibre-type distribution? There are four different types of muscle fibres: type 1‚ type 2a‚ type 2x‚ and type 2c. “A single skeletal muscle contains fibres having different speeds of shortening and ability to generate maximal force: type 1 (slow-twitch) fibres and type 2 (fast-twitch) fibres. Type 1 fies take approximately 110 ms to reach peak tension when

What is metabolism? All living things must have an unceasing supply of energy and matter. The transformation of this energy and matter within the body is called metabolism. Metabolism includes two different types: catabolism and anabolism. Catabolism is destructive metabolism. Typically‚ in catabolism‚ larger organic molecules are broken down into smaller constituents. This usually occurs with the release of energy. Anabolism is constructive metabolism. Typically‚ in anabolism‚ small precursor

Whole30 Challenge The Whole30 diet is a fairly new diet that consists of thirty-days eating high amounts of protein lots of vegetables and some fruit. This diet is supposedly taking people back to their prehistoric roots or “caveman diet.” When planning out your meals the Whole30 states‚ that eating foods with very few ingredients that are pronounceable are better‚ but no ingredients listed at all are best because they’re whole and unprocessed. Also during the thirty-day diet avoid eating added

Running head: METABOLISM Metabolism February 12‚ 2013 Western Governor’s University GRT1 Metabolism Enzymes are molecules that are responsible for chemical reactions that occur within the body. They act as catalyst by accelerating metabolic reactions from the digestion of foods to synthesizing deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). An enzymatic reaction changes substrates‚ the beginning molecule‚ into products. Enzymes are selective for the type of substrate that they will bind to; they have specific
