a cell
6 basic life processes
Metabolism
responsiveness
movement

urinary
the bonding of ions with opposite charges
ionic bond
Structures of an atom
Protrons
Neutrons
Electrons
an unstable charged atom that is highly reactive and destructive
Free radical
Reactons in the body when 2 or more molecules combine to form new and larger molecules are called
Anabolic reactions
PH Scale
0-14
Below 7 is acidic
humans blood is 7.35-7.45
what makes organic molecules unique
they contain carbon
what property makes water an excellent or “universal” solvant?
Its a polar molecule
what is an example of a carbohydrate
Glycogen
A protien that has lost its shape and is therefore no longer functional
Denatured
Which lipid is used for protection, insulation and energy storage?
Triglyceride
Which molecule contains our genetic material?
DNA
Which molecule can be split to release our bodies energy?
ATP
Which structure is responsible for forming a sugary outer coat on the cell membrane that enables cells to recognize one another?
Glycocalax
what are the functions of proteins found in cell membranes?
they for m an amphipathic bilayer
they form enzymes and catalyze reactions
they form receptors for binding molecules
* They DO NOT form pores or ion channels
What organelle is considered the Powerhouse of a cell?
Mitrochondria
Which organelle is the specific site of translation in the protein synthesis process?
Ribosome
what term describes water moving from higher concentration to a lower concentration through a selectively permeable membrane?
Osmosis
what type of solution will cause lysis of a cell
Hypotonic solution
What term describes the requirement of energy to move solutes across the membrane against a concentration gradient?
Active transport
What is the function of the Na+/K+ ATPase?
To transport 3 Na+ OUT of the cell and 2K+ INTO the cell
Phagocytosis is which type of Transport?
Endocytosis
HOw many chromosomes are found in every human SOMATIC cell?
46
The process of a genes DNA being used as a template for synthesizing a specific protein
Gene expression
What is the function of mRNA?
to direct the synthesis of a protein
DNA to mRNA pairing
A=U
T=A
G=C
C=G
What organelle is the site of DNA transcription?
Nucleus
What is the function of the process of translation?
To produce our bodies proteins
what is the purpose of crossing over during the stage of meiosis 1?
To exchange genes between chromatids resulting in genetic variation
during which process does a contractile ring form a cleavage furrow around the center of the cell?
Cytokenesis
which phase of interphase is when DNA replicates?
S phase
What phase of mitosis do the centrosomes of the chromatid pair line up at the “Equator” of the microtubules
Metaphase
4 basic classes of tissue types in the human body
Muscular
epithelial
connective
Nervous
which embryonic layer forms adult muscle tissue?
Mesoderm
which cell junction allows cellular communication and the movement of electricial impulses between cells?
Gap junction
The classification of epithelial tissues where the cell nuclei lie at different levels and all cells do not reach the apical surface but are all resting on the basement membrane
Pseudostratified
3 major functions of epithelial tissues
1: selective barriers that aid or limit transfers of substances into and out of the body
2: Secretory surfaces that secrete products produced by the cells onto their free surfaces
3: Protective surfaces that resist the abrasive influence of the enviroment
what arrangement of cells is found in areas of absorption or secretion?
Simple cuboidial epithelium
what is the function of cilia on epithelial tissue?
movement of mucous
where would you find transitional epithelial tissue that allows for necessary stretching while maintaining the structures protective lining?
Urinary bladder
which gland has secretions produced by rupture of the plasma membrane?
Holocrine
Which tissue classification is considered the most abundant in the body?
Connective tissue
what is the function of mast cells in connective tissue?
to produce histamine to dilate small blood vessels during inflammation
What are the two major components of the connective tissue extracellular matrix that gives each connective tissue flexability?
Ground substance and fibers
What type of fiber is strong, resists pulling forces but are not stiff and allows for flexability?
Collagen
what is the function of dense regular connective tissue?
TO provide a strong attachment between structures
3 types of muscle tissue
Skeletal
Cardiac
smooth
what type of muscle tissue is made of chondrocytes that are scattered among bundles of collagen fibers within the extracellular matrix, lacks a perichondrium and found in the intravetrebral discs?
Fibro cartilage
Reticular, areolar and adipose tissues are which type of tissues
Loose connective tissue
