GENBIO2 REVIEW CARDS

• Osmoregulation - This refers  to the  control of the osmotic pressure of body fluids of an organism to preserve the homeostasis of the body's water content; that is, it regulates the fluid equilibrium and the concentration of electrolytes (salts in solution) to prevent the fluids from being too diluted or too concentrated.
• Nephron - What do you call the functional unit of the kidney
• Chemotropism - This refers to the  movement of growth in plants in response to the chemical stimulus.
• Motor Neuron - It is a neuron that  carry impulses to muscles and glands.
• Frontal Lobes - This is  the largest  lobes of the cerebrum. They coordinate highlevel behaviors, such as motor skills, problem solving, judgment, planning, and attention,  also manage emotions and impulse control.
• pons - This is the largest part of the brain stem.
• Gibberellins - Is a plant hormone concerned with the growth of the stem, seed germination, and flowering.
• longitudinal fissure - What do you call the grooves that divides the cerebrum into two halves?
• Parthenogenesis - It is a natural form of asexual reproduction in which growth and development of an embryo occur directly from an egg, without need for fertilization.
• Ovulation - the stage when a mature egg is released from the ovary during your menstrual cycle.
• Folic Acid - It is a synthetic form of folate, a B vitamin that helps prevent neural tube defects and other birth abnormalities.
• Phloem - It is the tissue that transports sugars and other organic compounds from the leaves to the rest of the plant.
• Aortic Valve - It is a heart valve that facilitates blood flow from the left ventricle to the ascending aorta during systole and prevents reverse flow during diastole.
• Oxytocin - It regulates the contraction of uterus during childbirth and mammary glands during lactation.
• Innate Immune System - The body's first line of defense against germs invading the body.
• IgG - It is the most abundant antibody isotype in the blood (plasma), accounting for 70-75% of human immunoglobulins (antibodies).
• Phototropism - This refers to the directional bending of a plant to or from a light source—is a reaction to the blue wavelength of light.
• Thigmomorphogenesis - Is a gradual evolutionary shift in the form of a plant subject to constant mechanical stress.
• monosynaptic - The simplest form of neural pathway.
• Auxins - This hormone is synthesized at the tip of the stem and helps in plant growth by elongating the cell.
• Parietal Lobe - A cerebral lobe involved in organizing and interpreting sensory information from other parts of the brain.
• Photosynthesis - The process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy.
• Mitosis - The process of cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
• Transpiration - The process by which water is lost from a plant through its leaves.
• Geotropism - The process by which plants respond to gravity, growing in the direction of the gravitational pull.
• Digestion - The process of breaking down food into smaller components that can be absorbed by the body.
• melatonin - The hormone responsible for regulating the sleep-wake cycle in humans.
• Thigmotropism - The process by which plants respond to touch or contact with solid objects.
• Respiration - The process of converting food into energy within cells.
• Insulin - The hormone responsible for regulating blood sugar levels in the body.
• Thyroxine - The hormone responsible for regulating the body's metabolism and energy production.
• Adrenaline - This hormone is responsible for the fight or flight response in stressful situations.
• Oxytocin - A hormone that plays a role in social bonding, childbirth, and breastfeeding.
• Hormones are chemical messengers produced by endocrine glands that travel through the bloodstream to target organs or tissues.
• lipids & amino acids - These are protein and sugar molecules that accumulate in the bloodstream. 
• Osmoregulator - These refers to species that actively control their osmotic pressure, regardless of the external environment.
• Renal Artery - A structure where blood flows through the kidney.
• veins - Which blood vessel carries oxygen-poor blood?
• right ventricle - Which heart chamber pumped out the deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs?
• Xylem - A plant conducting vessel that transport water, and some soluble nutrients including minerals and inorganic ions, upwards from the roots to the rest of the plant.
