Study Notes
Meiosis Location
- Meiosis occurs in the ovaries.
Tissue Injury
- Damage to the Achilles tendon involves connective tissue.
Cell Engulfment
- Macrophages can engulf other cells.
Birth Rate & Mortality
- High infant mortality rates often correlate with variable birth rates.
Cardiac Cycle
- The contraction phase of the cardiac cycle is systole.
Cancer & Viruses
- Some viruses can cause cancer because they affect genes that control cell division.
pH Scale
- A substance with a pH of 3 is ten times more acidic than a substance with a pH of 4.
Protein Breakdown & Excretion
- Urea is excreted by sweat glands in response to protein breakdown and ammonia formation.
Nephron Function
- Filtrate moves through the nephron in a specific order, starting with the proximal tubule.
Protein Production
- The rough endoplasmic reticulum is responsible for protein production.
Research Methodology
- Hypothesis generation is a crucial first step in research.
Golgi Apparatus
- The Golgi apparatus packages proteins for secretion.
Scientific Explanation Feedback
- Peer review is vital for critically evaluating scientific explanations.
Skin Membrane
- The skin's membrane is epithelial, also called cutaneous.
Lung Damage & Gas Exchange
- Damage to lung alveoli prevents efficient blood carbon dioxide removal.
Hormone Production
- The endocrine system primarily produces hormones.
NADH Breakdown
- During the breakdown of pyruvate, electrons are transferred to NAD+, producing NADH, which cells use to generate ATP.
