Biology is viewed as the most powerful technology for solving global issues.

DNA is described as the software that directs cellular functions.

Cells function like factories, producing proteins and carrying out processes.

Human bodies contain outdated biological software due to evolutionary changes.

'Impossible' is labeled as unscientific, meaning anything can potentially be accomplished.

Automatic body adjustments like sweating and blood flow changes, not controlled by will.

Conscious and subconscious actions taken to maintain comfort, like seeking shade or warmth.

The brain region acting as the principal heat-regulating center, similar to a thermostat.

Expansion of blood capillaries that increases blood flow to the skin surface for heat loss.

Process where sweat glands secrete sweat, cooling the body through evaporation.

Methods like vasodilation and sweating that the body uses to reduce temperature.

Sensors in the hypothalamus that detect body temperature changes and trigger responses.

Physiological adjustments that generate warmth when the body cools down.

Hormone that regulates calcium levels in blood by decreasing them.

Hormone that increases blood calcium levels, opposing calcitonin.

Condition that may increase risk of bone degradation and osteopenia.

Hormone vital for metabolic rate, heart, and muscle functions.

Hormone that regulates growth and development in body cells.

Condition caused by excess thyroid hormones, leading to increased metabolic rate.

Condition resulting from insufficient thyroid hormone, causing decreased metabolism.

Swelling of the thyroid gland, often due to iodine deficiency.

Hormones used to seal cut plant areas and induce tissue formation after grafting.

Plant hormones that promote root formation and cell elongation.

Hormones that stimulate cell division, elongation, and germination in plants.

Induces seed germination, enhances fruit size, and promotes bud growth.

Hormones that promote cell division and branching in plants, delaying aging.

Hormone that inhibits plant growth, induces dormancy, and controls stomata.

A hydrocarbon hormone that stimulates fruit ripening and inhibits bud growth.

Used in agriculture for propagation, weed control, and enhancing growth.

Part of the nervous system that controls involuntary actions like heart rate and digestion.

Basic unit of the nervous system, responsible for transmitting impulses.

Central part of a neuron containing the nucleus and organelles.

Branch-like structures that receive signals from other neurons.

Long fiber that transmits impulses away from the neuron's cell body.

Electrical signals transmitted through neurons, conveying messages.

Includes control of heart rate, digestion, and movement based on stimuli.

A neurochemical that transmits signals across synapses.

An enzyme that inactivates acetylcholine in the synaptic gap.

The junction where impulses are transmitted from one neuron to another.

Impulses in the nervous system travel in one direction only.

The minimum strength required to initiate a neural impulse.

An automatic response to a stimulus without brain involvement.

The pathway of neurons involved in a reflex action.

Voluntary actions are consciously controlled; involuntary are automatic responses.
