  13. Atomic Weight
    The number of protons +neutrons in the atom’s nucleus
  14. Ionic Bond
    A strong electrostatic force that binds the + and – charged ions together
  15. Acid solution
    Releases a hydrogen ion (H+)
  16. Base solution
    Accepts hydrogen ions (OH-)
  17. pH scale
    • below 7 is more acidic
    • above 7 is more alkaline (base)
  18. An important function of the cell membrane
    Maintain cell integrity
  19. Peroxisomes contain enzymes that…
    Detoxify harmful substances

    • Organelles,
    • Plasma membrane,
    • Cytoplasm
  22. Functions of plasma membrane
    Self-identification, receptor site for messages, selective barrier
  23. Cilia

  25. Matrix of a tissue
    The non-living intracellular material surrounding the cell of a tissue.
  26. Basic characteristics of nervous system
    Excitation and conduction
  27. What is the most wide-spread and abundant tissue in the body?
    Connective
  28. Collect their secretory products at the apex/tip of the cell and release products by “pinching
    off”. Causes some cytoplasm loss and damage but quickly repairs.
    Apocrine glands
  29. Collect their secretory products inside the cell and then rupture completely to release product. Cells self-destruct
