Q

explain what the plasma membrane functions are

A

-outer boundary of cell
-made of thin 2 layered membrane of phospholipids, cholestrol and protein

Q

what form of transport is this
-substances scatter themselves throughout an available space, from high to low
-particles may move through a permeable membrane to reach equilibrium of solution
-semi permiable membranes have pores that only allow small particles to pass through
-selectively permeable membranes have channels and carriers that only allow certain substances to pass through

A

Q

what form of transport is this
-passive movement of water molecules when some solutes cannot cross the permeable membrane
-water moves in a direction that produces equilibrium by diluting concentrated solutes that cannot pass through the membrane

25
what form of transport is this -some solutes move passively across a semi permeable membrane by diffusion and other do not, creates uneven disrtribtion used in medical procedures to get rid of the waste in blood
Dialysis
26
what form of transport is this -passive movement of water and solutes through a semipermeable membrane caused by hydrostatic pressure higher on one side of the membrane -particles move from high to low hydrostatic pressure
Filtration
27
what is -a complex in cell membrane -uses ATP to move substances across cell membranes against their concentration gradients -eg: sodium potassium pump, calcium pump work with other carriers so that glucose or amino acids are transported along with ions
Ion pumps
28
This form of transport engulfs material from outside the cell by forming a vesicle and is a protective mechanism often used to destroy bacteria
Phagocytosis
29
This form of transport similarly uses a vesicle to incorporate fluids or dissolved substances into cells
pinocytosis
30
This form of transport takes material into cells by forming a transport vesicle at plasma membrane
Endocytosis
31
The process by which cells release large molecules and waste products from their cytoplasm to the outside of the cell
exocytosis
32
what determines the structure and function of cells?
protein
33
What is the process of making protein using DNA, RNA and ribosomes?
protein synthesis
34
what -make up 46 chromosomes contained in a cell nucleus -has a sequence of specific base pairs that indirectly determine a cells structure and function -genes direct formation of enzymes and other proteins by ribosomes -large molecule shaped like a spiral staircase, sugar and phosphate units compose sides of the molecule and complemetary base pairs adenine-thyminecompose the steps
DNA
35
what -molecules are made from genes that do not code directly for proteins -they regulate cell processes such as protein synthesis -subunits are made up of nucleotides but have ribose as their sugar and have base uracil instead of thimine
RNA
36
messenger RNA, transcribed working copy of one gene
mRNA
37
ribosomal RNA, component of ribosome
rRNA
38
transfer RNA, carries specific amino acid to its location on a ribosome during translation
tRNA
39
what is the process of making protein in a cell, occurs in cytoplasm. it involves the assembly of amino acids into polypeptides, which are then folded into functional proteins
photo synthesis
40
What are the steps of photo synthesis
1: transcriptopn DNA is copied into mRNAin the nucleus 2:mRNA processing The mRNA transcript is modified 3:mRNA export mRNA is transported from nucleus to cytoplasm 4:Translatiom mRNA used to synthesize proteins 5:Protein folding The protein is shaped into its form
41
This includes reproduction of cell involving divison of the nucleus and the cytoplasm
cell life cycle
42
DNA replication, This is a process by which each half of a DNA molecule becomes a whole molecule identical to the original DNA molecule, when does this occur?
during interphase
43
Period of life when the cell is functioning and may be preparing for mitosis but not actively dividing
interface
44
process in cell division that distributes identical nuclear chromosomes (DNA molecules)to each new cell formed when the original cell divides
Mitosis
45
what are the stages of mitosis
1:prophase 2:metaphase 3:anaphase 4:telophase 5:cell division ends as offspring cells become fully functional and enter interphase
46
what are the results of cell division?
a: two identical cells b: Differentiation - process by which offspring cells can form tissue c: uncontrolled cell reproduction can form benign or malignant neoplasms
47
during this stage of mitosis, the chromosomes move away from the center of the center
anaphase
48
During this stage of the stage cycle, the DNA in the nucleus replicates
interface
49
During this stage of mitosis, the chromosomes align in the center of the cell
metaphase
50
During this stage of mitosis, the chromatin condenses into chromosomes
prophase
51
During this stage of mitosis cell division is complete and nuclear envelope and nucleoli appear
Telophase
52
Organelles which are digestive bags
lysosomes
53
organelles flattened sacs that process molecules
golgi apparatus
54
diffusion of water from lower concentration to higher
osmosis
55
a process that allows a cell to take in fluid and dissolved substances (drinking of cells)
pinocytosis
56
pinocytosis
cell drinking, active process, means requires energy
57
chromatin becomes chromosomes during what phase?
prophase
58
explain red blood cells in hypotonic and hypertonic solution
hypotonic: will bloat up and may explode hypertonic: will shrink and shrivel
59
Protein synthesis involves 2 processes name and explain them
1: Transcription genetic information from DNA is copied into mRNA 2:Translation mRNA is read by ribosomes, folds into functional proteinrgtfde
60
Tiny filtering units in the kidneys that remove waste from the blood and create urine
Nephrones
61
the process by which cells eat other cells, its the immune systems defence against microbes
phagocytosis
62
Adipose and Areolar are examples of what kind of tissues
connective
63
which tissue forms a continuous sheet
epithelial
64
which tissue covers most organs
epithelial
65
glands are made of what type of tissue
epithelial
66
which of these fibers found in the matrix gives ability to stretch
elastin
67
this type of tissue allows rapid communication between structures
Nervous tissue
68
Flat and single layer allows diffusion to occur
simple squamous
69
another name for smooth muscl
visceral
70
what occurs at ribosomes, transcription or translation?
translation
