Q

What provides the energy needed for synthesis reactions

19
Q

mRNA

A

Produced in the nucleus,specifies the exact sequence of amino acids of the protein to be made

20
Q

Location of ribosomal RNA

A

Attached to ER or scattered in cytoplasm

21
Q

Telophase

A

Choromosomes uncoil to form chromatin

22
Q

Anaphase

A

Chromosomal centromeres split and chromosomals migrate to opposite ends of the cell

23
Q

When do nuclear membrane and nucleolus disintegrate l

A

Late prophase

24
Q

When do chromosomes align on spindle equator

25
When do centrioles move to opposite ends of the cell
Early prophase
26
Smooth ER
Plays a role in steroid production
27
The organ that facilitates formation of peptide bonds
Ribosomes
28
Microtubules
Plays a role in forming spindle fibers for cell division, organize, move organelles, give shape to the cell
29
Synthesis site for ribosomal RNA
Nucleoli
30
Location of genetic material of cell
Nucleus
31
Prevents molecules from passing the extra cellular space
Tight junctions
32
Desmosomes
Type of anchoring junction
33
Allows ions and small molecules to pass through
Gap junction
34
Present in electrically excitable tissue
Gap junctions
35
Where are desmosemes present
Tissues subjected to great mechanical stress
36
Result of mitosis
Daughter cells with identical genetic material as parent
37
Apoptosis
Programmed cell suicide. (Cancer cells do not undergo this
38
Introns
Represent a genome scrap yard that provides DNA segments for genome evolution
39
When do enzymes needed for cell division synthesize
During G2 phase
40
Where are lipid rafts found
Cell outer membrane surface
41
What are microfilaments composed of
Actin subunits
42
Components of extracrllular fluid
Blood plasma,interstitial fluid,transcellular fluid
43
What does the speed of diffusion of particles depend on
Temperature and particle size, not concentration
44
What does concentration difference cause
Ionic imbalance and hence cell membrane polarization and active transport processes
