Homeostasis within the body can be measured by the main vital signs: heart rate, temperature, respiratory rate and blood pressure. pH is also important to measure homeostasis, but cannot be readily measured without drawing blood. Each of these measurements are controlled by body systems, that work together to maintain proper ranges. The metabolism is a measurement of the chemical energy needed to run these systems, which are fueled by cellular respiration, a process that breaks down glucose and converts

mechanisms Constitutive structural defense is achieved by constituents of cutin, waxes, and Suberin • Cutin o A macromolecule, a polymer consisting of many long-chain fatty acids (16:0 and 18:1 fatty acids with OH) o Component of cuticle, increase resistance; however, its thickness is not always correlated with resistance • Waxes o Not macromolecules, but complex mixtures of long-chain acyl lipids. o Forms a water-repellent surface and thereby prevent the formation

Radiation is part of life and is comes in different forms. Radiation from the sun provides warmth and light but other forms of radiation can cause harm to the human body. Scientists have also found ways to cure the body with radiation. The different types of radiation highlighted in this paper are Alpha, Bata, and Gamma. Radiation particles with an electrical charge are alpha particles. Alpha particles have the lowest penetrating power of the primary forms of radiation. These particles cannot

Percy Julian was in a “race” with Robert Robinson to figure out how to synthesize the plant alkaloid of physostigmine by using carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. These chemicals are also known as the four macromolecule building blocks. Robinson published his research first, making everyone think that he had figured it. But Julian had found a mistake with the melting point/temperature in Robinson's experiment. This resulted in Percy Julian being able to continue

How We Study Cells Describe the principles, advantages, and limitations of the light microscope, transmission electron microscope, and scanning electron microscope. Electron microscopes reveal organelles that are impossible to resolve with the light microscope. However, electron microscopes can only be used on dead cells. •Light microscopes do not have as high a resolution, but they can be used to study live cells. •Transmission electron microscopes (TEMs) are used mainly to study the internal

Physical chemistry is the study of macroscopic, atomic, subatomic, and particulate phenomena in chemical systems in terms of laws and concepts of physics. * Chemical kinetics, also known as reaction kinetics, is the study of rates of chemical processes. Chemical kinetics includes investigations of how different experimental conditions can influence the speed of a chemical reaction and yield information about thereaction's mechanism and transition states, as well as the construction of mathematical
