Q

what organelle makes protein for the cell?

A

free ribosomes

20
Q

where are the fixed ribosomes found? where are the free ribosomes found?

A

fixed are found on the RER; the free are found floating around the cell

21
Q

these are the “housekeepers” of the cell

22
Q

what does semi-permeable mean

A

semi-permeable means the membrane controls what goes in and out of a cell

what are carbohydrates made of?
carbs are made of glucose
29
what do we use glucose for?
fuel in our body
30
where is extra glucose stored?
liver and/or skeletal cells
31
what is the process of making glucose from proteins?
gluconeogenisis
32
whats another word for lipids? where are lipids found?
fats; found in liver
33
is LDL good or bad cholesterol? why is it good or bad?
bad; moves from liver to cells
34
is HDL good or bad cholesterol? why is it good or bad
good; the process starts in cells and picks up left over LDL that could be clogging an artery

makes protein, sends message to mRNA
39
what does the mRNA do?
COPIES the DNA
40
what does the mRNA attach to?
riibosomes
41
what does tRNA do?
CONVERTS the copied code from mRNA
42
what does the ribosome do after the tRNA converts the copied code from the mRNA?
the ribosome makes the protein
43
what is the difference of meiosis and mitosis?
mitosis- normal cells duplicating each other(46 chromosomes) | meiosis- sex cells (13 chromosomes)
44
the dominant gene being expressed
genetic expression
45
change in genetic code
genetic mutation
