37
oxidation-reduction technique that visualizes extracellular matrix components like reticular fibers or basement membranes. This technique produces _______ or ______ by treating the sample with a strong oxidizing agent.
Silver Stain dark brown or black stains
38
surrounds the cell and is composed of a phospholipid bilayer, which is made up of a hydrophilic head and hydrophobic tail making up a semipermeable barrier between the interior and the exterior
CELL MEMBRANE
39
houses DNA, located in the center of eukaryotic cells
CELL NUCLEUS
40

Heterochromatin
41
condensed state; electron-dense on E/M and basophilic clumps on L/M; inactive.
Euchromatin
42
a gel-like matrix containing water, salts, proteins, and other molecules. It occupies the intracellular space between the cell membrane and the nucleus.
CYTOPLASM
43
Building and repairing cellular structures, regulating biological processes, and expressing specific characteristics of each organism.

44
They synthesize proteins using the genetic information from messenger RNA (mRNA), which is crucial for cellular structure, function, and regulation.
RIBOSOME
45
A network of interconnected membranes that extends from the nuclear membrane to the cell membrane. It plays a fundamental role in the transport, processing, and distribution of proteins and lipids within the cell.
ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM
46
is studded with ribosomes and is involved In the synthesis and modification of proteins
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER)

49
Building and repairing cellulars tructures, regulating biological processes, and expressing specific characteristics of each organism.
CENTRAL DOGMA OF MOLECULAR BIOLOGY
50
One strand of the parent DNA and the other is newly synthesized, this process is called semi-conservative DNA _______.
replication

Process by which the information is transferred from one strand of the DNA to RNA by the enzyme RNA Polymerase.
TRANSCRIPTION
52
Process by which the RNA codes for specific proteins. It is an active process which requires energy.
TRANSLATION
53
To carry out vital functions and necessary metabolic processes essential for the proper functioning of the cell and/or organism.
ENERGY STUDY
54
Their primary function is energy generation through cellular respiration (ATP production).
MITOCHONDRIA
55
It involves breaking down molecules and unwanted materials, enabling the recycling of nutrients and cellular maintenance.
CELLULAR DIGESTION
56
They contain digestive enzymes that break down molecules and unwanted cellular materials.
LYSOSOMES
57
They contain enzymes that degrade hydrogen peroxide and toxic compounds, thereby protecting the cell from oxidative damage.
PEROXISOMES
58
Maintaining cellular shape, enabling cellular movement and division, are essential for its functioning and survival.
SUPPORT AND MOVEMENT
59
It is composed of protein filaments (microtubules, microfilaments, and intermediate filaments) and provides support and enables movement in eukaryotic cells.
CYTOSKELETON
60
They are elongated and enable locomotion in liquid environments
flagella
61
shorter and create a coordinated flow on the cell surface.
cilia
62
Membrane-bound organelles found in plant cells and some animal cells. They store nutrients, water, ions, and waste materials, regulating turgor pressure and osmotic balance.
VACUOLES
63
They transport materials from the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi apparatus to other destinations.
Vesicles
64
They capture and distribute materials for degradation, recycling, or their incorporation into metabolic pathways.
Endosomes
65
Type of asexual reproduction seen in prokaryotes
BINARY FISSION
66
Outcome of binary fission
two identical cells with identical chromosomes
67
goal of mitosis
cytokinesis -- regeneration of somatic cells.
68
goal of meiosis
production of gametes for sexual reproduction.
