Bio exam 2

animal and plant tissue, cells

QuestionAnswer
prokaryotes and eukaryotes both have: Ribosomes, DNA, and Cell membrane
↑surface area for absorption,: Microvilli
If prokaryotic cells do not have membrane- bound organelles, then where is the DNA found? Nucleoid
The cell wall of bacteria is made of: Peptidoglycan;
The main component of the cell wall of plants is: cellulose
move dust out of the lungs: cilia
The heads of phospholipids of the plasma membrane are composed of and are: Phosphate groups; hydrophilic
whqt increases diffusion rate? High temperature
If a cell was placed into a hypotonic solution The cell would swell or burst because water moved into the cell
What is an example of endocytosis where the cell “eats” bacteria? Phagocytosis
Water moves via osmosis: From an area with a low concentration of solutes to a higher one (water follows the crowd)
Heart muscle cells communicate with each other using channels/pores called: Gap junction;
what do plant cells use to communicate with each other? Plasmodesmata
What type of animal tissue covers the body, lines structures, and form glands? Epithelial
what muscle is found only in the heart? Cardiac
what muscle is found surrounding tubes, such as blood vessels? smooth
Cartilage, tendons, ligaments & bone are all types of what animal tissue? connective
what connect muscle to bone? tendon
what connects bone to bone? ligament
what are nerve cells called? neuron
what are the group of cells that support never cells called? neuroglia
Which of the following structures of the shoot system is a reproductive part? flowers
A potato is an example of a tuber, which is considered a modified: stem
Grass forms a dense network of roots, which helps prevent soil erosion. What type of root system is this describing? Fibrous
What plant tissue contains xylem and phloem? Vascular tissue
How do dicots differ from monocots? Dicots have flower parts in multiples of 4 or 5
A single, undivided leaf blade describes what type of leaf? simple
Mangrove trees are examples of: Aerial/prop roots
what zone of a root is found at the root tip. Cell division
Guard cells surrounding each leaf stoma regulate the uptake of __________ and release of _____ Carbon dioxide; oxygen
Which of the following is false? a.Transpiration causes water to evaporate from the leaf b.Cohesion & adhesion draw water up the xylem c.Cohesion & adhesion draw water up the phloem d.Root hairs aid water & mineral absorption Cohesion & adhesion draw water up the phloem, its xylem not phloem
what acts as a selective barrier for substances entering the root? Endodermis
what is the basic unit of life? cells
the tails of phospholipids of the plasma membrane are composed of and are: fatty acid groups; hydrophobic
what type of membrane protein allows the body to distinguish self vs non self cells and plays a role in the immune response? glycoprotein
what cytoskeletal component makes up flagella, cilia and guides organelle movement? microtubules
free floating or attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum, functions in protein synthesis: ribosomes
breaks down glucose to make ATP: mitochondria
the movement of substances from high to low concentration? Ex: perfume diffusion
If a cell was placed into a hypertonic solution: it would shriver because water moved out the cell
how is active transport different from passive transport? requires ATP and moves substances from low to high concentrations
what is not found in plants: chloroplast cell wall centriole plasmodesmata centriole
where is water stored in plants to maintain turgor pressure against cell wall? vacuole
What is histology? the study of tissue
what is tissue? a group of cells working together to perform a function
what type of epithelial tissue is found lining air sacs of lungs? simple squamous epithelium
what type of epithelial tissue is found lining kidney tubules and glands? simple cuboidal epithelium
what type of epithelial tissue secretes mucus, absorbs nutrients and is found lining most digestive organs? simple columnar epithelium
what type of epithelial tissue makes up the outer layer of skin? stratified squamous epithelium
what type of epithelial tissue can stretch and is found lining the urinary bladder? transitional epithelium
what is not secreted from an exocrine gland? oil hormone sweat saliva hormone
what is another name for a fat cell adipocyte
what type of connective tissue contains a fluid matrix? blood
what type of cell within blood transports gases? red blood cells
what type of connective tissue contains a gel like matrix and located at the top of nose? cartilage
what type of connective tissue stores calcium and forms blood cells? bone
cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and bone are all types of what animal tissue? connective
what is not part of the shoot system? roots leaves stems flowers roots
plant regions of continuous growth are made of: meristematic tissue
which of the following is an example of secondary growth? increase in thickness (lateral)
what type of meristem is found in lawn grass, allowing it to lengthen even after repeated mowing? intercalary
the point of attachment for leavers or flowers on stems is: nodes
the dominance where plants mainly grow upwards apical
how do monocots differ from dicots in leaf structure? monocots have leaves with parallel venation
runners, tubers, bulbs, tendrils, and thorns are all examples of modified: stems
what root system grows vertically with few smaller lateral roots? Ex: dandelions tap
root cells begin to form different cell types in the: zone of maturation
roots that allow a plant to grow on another plant are called: epiphytic roots
what is the main site of photosynthesis? leaves
the stalk of a leaf, which connects the leaf to the stem is known as the: petiole
leaflets are characteristics of what type of leaves? compound
what are the cells called that surround the opening of a leaf stoma? guard cells
what occurs when a stomata opens? water vapor is lost to the external environment and the rate of transpiration increases
both layers of what contain many chloroplasts? mesophyll
whats most likely to be found in a desert environment? spines instead of leaves
