What is Exercise Physiology?

A fundamental component of the SEHS curriculum in the IB syllabus, focusing on the physiological aspects of exercise.

What does cell biology study?

Cells, their properties, structure, organelles, interactions, life cycle, division, and death.

What is the function of the cell membrane?

Controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell.

What are the two types of cell division?

Mitosis and meiosis.

What is the structure of DNA?

A double helix structure with base pairing (A-T, C-G).

What are transcription and translation?

Processes of copying genetic information from DNA to RNA and synthesizing proteins.

What are genes and alleles?

Genes are units of heredity; alleles are different forms of a gene.

What is Mendelian genetics?

Principles of inheritance involving dominant and recessive traits.

What is an ecosystem?

A community of living organisms and their physical environment.

What is natural selection?

A mechanism of evolution proposed by Charles Darwin.

What is the digestive system?

Organs involved in the breakdown of food.

What role do enzymes play in digestion?

They speed up the breakdown of food substances.

What is the function of white blood cells?

They play a crucial role in the immune response.

What is the mechanism of blood clotting?

The process of coagulation that prevents excessive bleeding.

What is the role of the respiratory system?

Involved in the process of breathing and gas exchange.

What is the endocrine system?

A system of hormone-producing glands that regulate various bodily functions.

What is the significance of the Y chromosome?

It plays a role in sex determination in males.

What is the significance of the X chromosome?

It plays a role in sex determination in females.

What are metabolic pathways?

Biochemical processes that involve the transformation of substances in the body.

What is the focus of plant biology in HL?

Study of plant physiology, including photosynthesis and transpiration.

What is the importance of understanding exercise physiology?

It provides a solid foundation for further study and application in sports, exercise, and health sciences.
