What group of elements accounts for more than 95% of the human body by weight? Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen.
Nucleic acids are composed of building blocks called amino acids. False
The difference in hydrogen ion concentration between solutions with pH 4 and pH 5 is__________. Ten-Fold
Two negatively charged bromide (Br-) ions exist in solution. They will be attracted to each other and form an ionic bond. False
What building blocks form triglycerides? Three fatty acids and one glycerol
What particles are located in the nucleus of an atom? Protons and neutrons
Which of the following is an element? Iron
Lard, a fat that is solid at room temperature, will have__________ than peanut oil. more single carbon-carbon bonds
Salt is placed in a glass of water. Slowly the salt begins to move from one area to another area. What factor caused the movement of the salt? Concentration gradient
The framework of a cell membrane is a lipid bilayer. True
During anaphase of mitosis, centromeres and replicated chromosomes separate. True
What is the correct sequence of organelles and cell parts involved in milk secretion? Nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, vesicles, cell membrane
Cell membranes are described as a fluid mosaic that maintains stability while still allowing movement. What component is responsible for most of the flexibility of the membrane? Phospholipid bilayer
Peroxisomes and lysosomes are sacs that contain enzymes. True
What is the cellular abnormality that causes cystic fibrosis? ...
Cytoplasm is located between the cell membrane and the nuclear envelope. True
The process by which cells specialize is called differentiation. True
Adrenoleukodystrophy is a genetic disorder that affects the nervous system. The gene abnormality causes a lack of an enzyme that breaks down very long chain fatty acids outside the cell. The resulting over-accumulation causes brain degeneration. What orga Peroxisomes
What is an isotonic solution? A solution that has the same osmotic pressure as a cell.
Programmed cell death occurs during development, including the removal of webbing between fingers of the fetus. What is this process called? Apoptosis
What best describes endoplasmic reticulum? A network of interconnected membranes
What is the relationship between surface area and volume as a cell grows? Its surface area increases to a lesser degree than its volume.

What is osmosis? ...
In Krabbe disease an enzyme that makes myelin for nerve cells is absent. What organelle would produce this enzyme? Lysosomes

During what phase of the cell cycle do chromosomes replicate? Interphase
What kind of bond can form between K+ and CI-? Ionic bond
A protein is formed by a sequence of amino acids. True
A complex carbohydrate consists of a phosphate group attached to a sugar molecule. False

The chemical bond called a(n)__________ bond involves the unequal sharing of electrons between two atoms. Polar Covalent
Where is a mitochondrion found in the cell? In the intracellular fluid
Buildup of incorrectly folded proteins induces a stress response known as unfolded protein response (UPR). When prolonged, UPR has a high correlation with neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s. Which organelle is likely malfunctioning and allowin ...
A cell is surrounded by an extremely thin, flexible membrane. Why is the membrane selectively permeable? ...
