Session 1 - Introduction

Carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids.

Organ level.

Within a narrow range of values despite changing internal and external environments.

The changes an organism undergoes through time, such as differentiation.

The study of the function of the human body.

DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid).

To help in the synthesis of proteins.

A sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base.

Amino acids linked by peptide bonds.

1-4 linkage of α glucose monomers.

The study of the structure of the human body.

They have coordinated functions maintained by a complex system of checks and balances.

Lipids are a group of hydrophobic organic molecules that include fats, oils, and steroids.

To store and transmit genetic information.

Glucose and galactose.

Parameters change slightly around the set point.

By maintaining a relatively constant internal environment.

Understanding health and disease.

A double helix structure.

Fibrous proteins and globular proteins.

The maintenance of a relatively constant environment within the body despite fluctuations in the external or internal environment.

To provide energy and structural support.

Nucleotides.

Triglycerides are composed of glycerol and three fatty acids.

Twenty.

1-4 linkage of β glucose monomers.

The processes and functions of living things.

Fatty acids and glycerol.

Nucleotides.

Nucleotides.

Glucose and fructose.

X-ray, ultrasound, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Organ system level.

Biological macromolecules that store and transmit genetic information.

Large molecules essential for life, including proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids.

Its specific sequence of amino acids and its three-dimensional structure.

A polymer of α-glucose with α-1,4 and α-1,6 glycosidic links.

To understand and predict the body’s responses to stimuli.

Cellular physiology and systemic physiology.

They serve as energy storage, structural components of cell membranes, and signaling molecules.

Phospholipids form the bilayer of cell membranes, providing structure and protection.

The study of the body by systems, such as cardiovascular, nervous, and muscular systems.

Individual parts interact and work together.

Organism level.

Carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids.

Adenine pairs with Thymine, and Cytosine pairs with Guanine.

They act as catalysts to speed up chemical reactions.

The ability to sense changes in the environment.

Cellular level.

Monosaccharides.

Amino acids.

To store and transmit genetic information.

Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Cytosine (C), and Guanine (G).

Steroids are a type of lipid that act as hormones and play roles in metabolism and immune function.

The study of the body by regions, examining all systems within a specific region simultaneously.

The increase in size of the organism.

Tissue level.

Temperature, pH, and energy balance/body weight.

By reacting to stimuli.

Lipids serve as a source of energy, insulation, and make up cell membranes.

DNA provides the instructions for assembling proteins.

The process where proteins lose their structure and function due to external stressors.

The formation of new cells or new organisms.

To serve as building blocks for tissues and play roles in biochemical reactions.

Glucose and glucose.

The ability to use energy to perform vital functions such as growth, movement, and reproduction.

To store genetic information.

The main types of lipids include triglycerides, phospholipids, and steroids.

To dissect, or cut apart and separate, the parts of the body for study.

Amino acids.

The sequence determines the genetic code and the traits of an organism.

The study of external features, such as bony projections.
