QuestionAnswer
Digests worn-out or non usable cell structures Lysosome
Captures energy to produce ATP Mitochondria
Synthesizes membrane components Rough ER
Uses oxygen to detoxify harmful substances Peroxisomes
Increases surface area of plasma membrane for absorbtion Microvilli
What is not true about the cell membrane It allows water soluble molecules to pass through easily
Molecules in cell membrane that serve as receptors or binding sites for hormones or other chemical messengers and generally comprise most of the cell Proteins
3 major components of cytoplasm Cytosol, organelles, and inclusions
Microvilli are apt to be found in cells that are specialized for Absorbtion
Ribosomes are found In the cytoplasm and on rough ER
Organelles that use molecular oxygen to convert and detoxify harmful substances such as alcohol and free toxins Peroxisomes
The movement of fluid through the cell membrane from a high hydrostatic pressure area to a low hydrostatic pressure area (such as what takes place in capillaries) Filtration
What is NOT active transport processes Facilitated diffusion
Muscle found on the walls of hollow organs (stomach) and in the walls of blood vessels Smooth muscle
Last step in process of tissue regeneration Surface epithelium regenerates
Cell structure forms an internal framework inside the cell and is made of microtubules, intermediate filaments, and microfilaments Cytoskeleton
A cell ingests bacteria, what type of transport is likely responsible for this process Endocytosis
Cells propelled by a long tail, what cell structure must these cells have in order to be mobile Flagella
Facilitated diffusion requires the use of Protein channels or molecules
2 types of endocytosis Phagocytosis and Pinocytosis
A cell whose job is to detoxify harmful substances would have many Peroxisomes
The order of the phases of the cell cycle Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase
Which type of tissue conducts electromechanical impulses Nervous tissue
What is NOT connective tissue Skeletal muscle
The tissue that is usually well vascularized and has an extensive extracellular matrix Connective tissue
Epithelial tissue found in areas subject to considerable friction and abuse (esophagus) Stratified squamous epithelium
Glands, such as the thyroid, that secrete their products directly into the blood rather than through ducts are Endocrine glands
Network of nuclear threads composed of DNA and protein that condense to form chromosomes during mitosis Chromatin
Whiplike cellular extensions that move substance along the cell surface are Cilia
Non-polar tails of a phospholipid molecule that make the plasma membrane impermeable to water Hydrophobic
Component of a solution that is present in the smaller amount and is dissolved Solute
The nucleoplasm and cytosol make up what fluid Intracellular fluid
Movement of substances through the cell membrane, against their concentration gradient is Active transport
When tissue is damaged, the capillaries become very permeable to allow Clotting proteins and other substances into the area
Random movement of molecules (and ions) down their concentration gradient is Diffusion
Assembling proteins by decoding the information in RNA Translation
Type of muscle that can be controlled voluntarily Skeletal muscle
Type of cell found in nervous tissue Neuron
Many layers of cube shaped cells could be termed Stratified cuboidal epithelial tissue
Layer of epithelial cells that lie along the basement membrane Basal layer
What is advantageous about chromatin form of DNA Easier for ribosomes to attach and make RNA from chromatin
What determines a cells size and how many organelles it possesses Function
Nuclear membrane has large pores to make it more permeable than the plasma membrane
Which type of tissue covers, lines, and forms glandular tissue Epithelial
Which type of tissue allows for organ movements in the body Muscle
Which type of tissue supports body organs and has a large amount of non-living matrix Connective
T or F: Are skeletal muscles voluntarily controlled True
T or F: Cardiac muscles have intercalated discs True
T or F: Smooth muscles change volume of an organ as it contracts True
T or F: Tendons are made of connective tissue and connect muscle to bone True

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
