Which of the following is not true of diffusion? | Uses Cellular Energy; it can occur in living and nonliving cells, and it may occur both into and out of the cell. |
Which is not true about the sodium and potassium pump? | Sodium moves into the cell and potassium moves out of the cell; it does use cellular energy, a carrier system is used, and it can move substances against their concentration gradient. |
The physical process by which water and solute move through a membrane when a hydrostatic pressure gradient exists across the membrane is the process of: | filtration |
An individual’s entire set of DNA can be referred to as a: | genome |
Extensive weight training causes the muscle cells to: | hypertrophy |
NaCl would move through the cell membrane in which direction? | Both into and out of the cell |
When the chromosomes align themselves across the equator of the spindle fibers, it is characteristic of which phase of mitosis? | Metaphase |
The correct order of the phases of mitosis is: | Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase |
During which stage of mitosis do the centrioles move to the opposite poles of the cell? | Prophase |
Materials can be moved from a low concentration to a high concentration through: | active transport |
The pairing of bases of a strand of DNA is obligatory. If a strand of DNA were composed of the base sequence of ATCG, what would be the obligatory sequence of its opposing base pairs? | TAGC |
All of the following are examples of passive transport except: | endocytosis |
Which is true about the sodium and potassium pump? | Three sodium ions are taken out of the cell |
Which of the following is not true of RNA? | it contains deoxyribose sugar; It is a single strand, contains uracil rather than thymine, and The obligatory base pairs are adenine and uracil, and guanine and cytosine. |
Water will move through the cell membrane by: | osmosis |
Twenty-three chromosomes per cell in humans is referred to as: | Haploid |
The small water channels in the cell membrane are called: | aquaporins |
Two solutions of different concentrations of glucose are separated by a membrane that allows both glucose and water to pass through. When dynamic equilibrium is reached, there will be: | an even exchange of material across the membrane |
Transcription can be best described as the: | synthesis of mRNA. |
Diffusion requires: | none of the above |
All of the following occur as a result of meiosis except: | chromosome number remains at 46; ( during meiosis primitive sex cells become mature gametes, the cells become haploid, and meiosis occurs in two steps) |
Diffusion of particles through a membrane by means of a carrier molecule is called: | facilitated diffusion |
A sequence of three bases forms a(n): | codon |
Which of the following statements is true? | The site of transcription is within the nucleus, whereas the site of translation is in the cytoplasm. |
If a sequence of nitrogen bases in nucleic acid were A-U-C-G-A, which of the following would be true about the nucleic acid? | it contains ribose sugar |
A membrane carrier structure attracts a solute to a binding site, changes shape, and releases the solute on the other side of the cell membrane. This describes the process of: | carrier-mediated transport |
A DNA molecule is characterized by all of the following except: | ribose sugar |
Which of the following terms is synonymous with tumor? | Neoplasm |
