Q

Cytoskeleton

A

Gives cell its shape

19
Q

How many chromosomes are at the end result of Mitosis?

20
Q

How many chromosomes are at the end result of Meiosis?

21
Q

How many chromosomes are at the end result of interphase?

22
Q

Which process is the division of somatic cells?

23
Q

Which process is the division of gametes?

24
Prophase
First stage other aside from interphase Chromosomes cluster together and nucleolus begins to disappear
25
Metaphase
Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell
26
Anaphase
Chromosomes are pulled apart by spindle fibers from centrioles
27
Telophase
Two new nuclei begin to form around chromosomes
28
Cytokinesis
Cell is split into two new cells
29
Where does cytoplasm, organelles, etc exist?
intracellularly
30
Where does blood, and synovial fluid exist?
Extracellularly
31
Interacts with water, Is the outside of the cell membrane bilayer
Hydrophilic Phosphoric head
32
Does not interact with water. Lipid tails on the insides of the cell membrane bilayer
Hydrophobic Fatty Acid Tail
33
Found within the membrane. Helps transport molecules through the membrane
Integral protein
34
Found on the outside of the membrane. Helps maintain structure
Peripheral protein
35
Sugar chains that attach to proteins that help identify cells for permeability
Carbohydrate
36
Lipid structures found in between the lipid tails to help with membrane structure and prevent cell membrane for folding in on itself.
Cholesterol
37
Water moves from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. This means it moves down the concentration gradient.
Passive transport
38
More water in solution than in cell, what will cell look like and why?
Shriveled cell, water travels to where there is less of it
39
hypotonic solution, what shape will cell be and why?
the solution has less solute than the cell placed in the solution
40
Molecules travel through a membrane and the liquid portion is filtered through with the help of hydrostatic pressure or gravity.
Filtration
41
Smaller molecules are filtered through a membrane and larger molecules (toxic) are left behind. The solution with the smaller molecules is cleaned and returned to the body. Used for the kidneys.
Dialysis
42
Movement from high to low Concentration or down the Concentration gradient through a semipermeable membrane.
Osmosis
43
Movement for molecules from high to low concentration until it is evenly distributed in the solution.
Diffusion
44
A protein channel used to help bring a molecule through from high to low concentration
Facilitate Diffusion
45
What two components of the cell membrane help identify what goes through the membrane or in other words, allow the cell to selectively permeate?
Carbohydrates and integral proteins
46
Takes molecules from a low concentration to a high concentration
Active transport
