QuestionAnswer
the two types of nucleic acids are _____ and ______ DNA and RNA
the powerhouse of the cell is the _____ mitochondria
the brain of the cell is the _______ nucleus
rough endoplasmic reticulum gets its name from the _______ that are attached to the outside ribsomes
the organelle that carries out protein synthesis is the ribosomes
the more ______ ions in a solution the more basic the solution hydroxide (OH-)
a _______ bond is formed when two atoms share a pair of valence electrons covalent
a plane that divides the body into right and left sections would be a _______ plane sagittal
the primary energy source for a cell is ATP
specialized molecules that speed up reactions are called enzymes
NaCl is an example of a _______ bond ionic
pinocytosis involves ________; whereas phagocytosis involves _______ liquids; solids
when amino acids are joined together, the covalent bond that is formed is called a ________ bond peptide
in DNA, cytosine pairs with guanine
the passive transport (diffusion) of water is called osmosis
a _______ solution causes red blood cells to crenate (shrivel up) hypertonic
in relation to the should, the elbow is _______ to the wrist proximal
in RNA, adenine pairs with ________ uracil
a plane that divides the body into front and back sections would be a _______ plane coronal (frontal)
the phospholipid tails are hydro_____ and the heads are hydro_____ phobic and philic
what is the difference between facilitated diffusion and active transport facilitated diffusion- a passive movement through the lipid bilayer, not using energy. high to low concentration active transport- uses energy to move molecules and moves them against gradient form low to high concentration
what are three types of endocytosis Phagocytosis — “cell eating” Pinocytosis — “cell drinking” Receptor-mediated endocytosis- "brings in specific molecules to bind to recpetors
what is the sodium-potassium pump? it uses ATpase to move Na+ and K+ ions against concentration gradient. For every 3 Na+ pumped out, 2 K+ pumped in
what is the difference between oxidation and reduction Oxidation = loss of electrons Reduction = gain of electrons
what are the phases of the cell cycle? what happens in each one? G1- growth of the cell; carries out normal functions S- DNA is copied and replicated G2- cell continues to grow: prepares for division mitotic- nucleus divides into two identical nuclei cytokinesis- the cytoplasm divides, producing two daughter cells
what is the difference between meiosis and mitosis meiosis goes throw 2 stages of cellular division while mitosis only goes through 1
what are the phases of mitosis in order? 1. prophase 2. metaphase 3. anaphase 4. telophase
in what phases of mitosis do the sister chromatids separate? what are sister chromatids? are they the same as homologous chromosomes? 1. anaphase 2. chromosomes that contain identical DNA 3. no because homologous chromosomes are a pair of similar chromosomes, 1 from dad and 1 from mom
what is the difference between transcription and translation? transcription- serves as a template for copying information into a sequence translation- is the nucleotide sequence in an mRNA molecule which specifies the aid sequence of a protein
at what phase of meiosis do the number of chromosomes divide in half? (reduction division) after meiosis, how many cells are there? telophase I there are 4 cells after meiosis
which phase of meiosis is like mitosis? why? meiosis II because it starts with 2 sister chromatids in prophase
in what phase of meiosis does crossing over occur? what is crossing over? prophase I of meiosis I crossing over is the process in which non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes exchange sections of DNA
what is a "haploid" cell? how does it get that way? a haploid cell is a cell that contains one set of chromosomes (23) it gets that way through meiosis
what is the difference between introns and exons? introns- non-coding sections of RNA that are removed during RNA processing. exons- sections that are kept and expressed in the final mRNA.
what happens in telophase of mitosis? what does cytokinesis mean? a nuclear envelope forms around each set of chromosomes which contains 2 identical daughter cells cytokinesis happens after telophase, which is the complete split between cells
