Observe and generalize observations.

Formualte and generate a hypothesis.

Design and conduct an experiment to test hypothesis.

Module 01 Homeostasis Review

Define metabolism and its role within the body.

Metabolism is the burning of energy or ATP within the body during homeostasis.

Explain the process of homeostasis.

Homeostasis is the process of the body operating as intended and maintaining relatively stable internal conditions. Blood sugar, oxygen, temperature, blood pressure, etc..

Compare and contrast negative and positive feedback loops.

Negative feedback loops are a response from the control center, after a sensor sends a message to activate a stimulus in order to slow or stop an action to maintain homeostasis. Postive feedback is the opposite and the stimulus works to raise or increase an action to maintain homeostasis.

Discuss the importance of maintaining homeostasis.

The balance of the numerous systems and processes that maintain the balance of homeostasis is essential to human life as without this balance death would occur.

Module 01 Chemistry Review

Define the structure of an atom.

The structure of an atom consits of a nucleus surrounded by protons, neutrons, and electrons. The number of positively-charged protons and non-charged (“neutral”) neutrons, gives mass to the atom. The number of each in the nucleus of the atom determine the element. An atom is the smallest quantity of an element that retains the unique properties of...
