Cell Membrane Definition

Cell Membrane controls what enters and exits the cell - Also helps with cell regeneration and cells recviving signals from other cells (Cell-Cell Communication)

Cell Theory Definition

Cell are an arepoductive system that shares the same DNA as parent cells - organsism are made up from cell that all share the same DNA and have many specilized functions that the organism requires

Homeostais Definition

Interal enviroment of an organsims is actively maintained and kept revatively consistant by cells, tissues, and organs - Uses negative feedback systems to maintaine the relatively constant level

Energy Definition

All organism require energy to live - the acquisition, transformation, and transportation of energy are all essential to life for an organism

Evolution Definition

Gentic change within a population of time driven by 3 main factors (Variation, Inheritance, and Selection)

Structure - Function Definition

Structure and funcation of cells can be interchanable - Cells get their function from their strucutre, and the cells function can change the structure of a cell.

Mass Balance Definition

Contents of a system are determed by input and output of that system - What goes in must equal what comes out

Flow Down Gradient Definition

The movement of stuff (Ions, molecules, fluids, and gas) through a central process at all levels of an organism

Scientific Reasoning Definition

To fully understand the reasoning behind physioligcal actions and choices one must understand all the parts of the scientfic process (Inferences, literacy, data anaylsis, observation, and other scientfic processes)

System Integration Definition

Systems within an organisms work together to reach desired outcomes - these groups (cells, tissues, organs, organ systems) interact are importanted for sustained life or the organism

Genes to Protiens Definition

Genes (DNA) of every organisms is specfic to that one organism - genes are coded so that cells have specific structure and funcations

Physical Properties of Matter Definition

Living organisms all follow the laws of physics and chemistry - organisms have relationships with the world that can be explainjed by a cause-and-effect relationship

Levels of Organization Definition

To fully understand phsyilogical funcation we must understand the bahaviors of the organism on every level starting that the molectular and ending at the enviroment (Molcules, Cells, Tissure, Organism, Environment)

Cell-Cell Communication Definition

Cells must pass and revice information from other cells in living organisms to coordinate activites
