Anatomy & Physiology I - Chapter 3 Cells: The Living Units
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Name four concepts of the cell theory | 1) Basic strutural and functional units of life 2) Organism depends on cells 3) Biochemical activities of a cell are dictated by their organelles 4) Continuity of life has a cellular basis |
| What is the driving forceof diffusion? | concentration radient |
| Who move faster? | potassium permarganate |
| What are the cell three major regions? | plasma membrane, cytoplasm, and nucleus |
| Is phosphate facing inside or outside? | both |
| Does red blood cell contantly changes shape? | yes |
| Composed of a double layer of phospholipids embedded w/ small amounts of cholestrol and proteins | Plasma membrane |
| _____ proteins are firmly inserted | Integral |
| ______ proteins are not embedded in the plasma membrane | Peripheral |
| Fingerlike extension that increase the surface area of the cell | Microvilli |
| What is a impermeable junction? | Tight junctions |
| What is mechanical couplings that prevent their spearation and reduce the chance of tearing? | Desmosomes |
| What is communication junctions? | Gap junctions |
| Does not use energy... | Passive process |
| Uses energy (ATP)... | Active process |
| High to Low concentration area | Diffusion |
| Diffusion of water... | Osmosis |
| Moves through the PM by protein carriers or by channels | Facilitated diffusion |
| _____ molecule cannot get through cell | water |
| The process that forces water and solutes through...by fluid, or hydrostatic, pressure is called | Filtration |
| Source of energy-hydrolysis of ATP; Transport protein changes shape and pumps molecules against their concetration gradient is called | Primary active transport |

| Cytokinesis is the process that divides the cell nucleus into two nuclei | False, Cytokinesis is the division of the parent cell cytoplasm into two daughter cells |
| The process in which DNA's genetic code is copied onto messenger RNA molecules is known as translation. | False, DNA's genetic code is copied onto messenger RNA molecules by a process known as transcription |
| DNA's genetic code is copied onto messenger RNA molecules by a process known as... | transcription |
| The two major periods in the life cycle of a cell are interphase and the mitotic phase | True |
