Q

what are the 5 factors that affect the rate of diffusion?

A

by size of the concentration gradient, size of the molecules involved (small molecules move faster), temperature of the system (hotter = faster), size of the diffusion membrane (surface area), and the distance molecules must cover to reach the membrane (the closer the molecules are to the membrane, the faster they diffuse).

Q

involves secretory vesicles, releasing contents outside of the cell.

A

exocytosis

28
Q

extensions of the plasma membrane that are found on the surface of absorptive cells. They increase the cell’s surface area.

A

microvilli

29
Q

contain integral protein molecules in the plasma membranes. The proteins help adjacent membranes and help prevent molecules from passing through the intercellular space.

A

tight junctions

30
Q

button-like plaques on the plasma membrane. Protein filaments extend from the plagues and lace together the 2 membranes.

A

demosomes

31
Q

a communicating junction between adjacent cells. There are different types that are responsible for the movement of different molecules and ions. They are present in heart muscle and smooth muscle.

A

gap junctions

32
Q

a network of different protein filaments that extend out into cytosol. It provides a structural framework of a cell and is composed of 3 types of protein filaments.

A

cytoskeleton

33
Q

composed of the protein actin. They are involved in muscle contraction, cell division, cell movement, and mechanical support for microvilli.

A

microfilaments

34
Q

microfilaments, intermidiate filaments, and microtubules

A

3 major protein filaments

35
Q

give strength to proteins, help anchor organelles, and support the cell.

A

intermediate filaments

36
Q

large, unbranched, hollow tubes that help determine cell shape. They aid in intracellular transport and the movement of cilia and flagella.

A

microtubules

37
Q

DNA is transcripted into RNA, which is translated into polypeptides

A

central dogma of biology

38
Q

Some tissues wear away faster than others, and therefor they need to be replenished more than others. These cells will have a faster rate of cellular reproduction than cells that do not need to be replenished as often.

A

rate of cellular reproduction

39
Q

why do cells divide?

A

Cells divide to provide a more favorable surface area to volume relationship. Growth factors and hormones stimulate cell division.

40
Q

why would cells stop dividing?

A

Contact inhibition, which tells the cell to stop dividing, and tumors.

41
Q

can divide to form two new stem cells, “self-revival”, or they can divide to form a stem cell and a progenitor cell.

A

stem cells

42
Q

committed cells. They can divide to become any of a restricted number of cells.

A

progenitor cells

43
Q

main task of cell reproduction

A

replicate the dna

44
Q

what are the 3 tasks accomplished in cell reproduction?

A

replication and division of organelles and cytoplasm, the equal distribution of DNA to 2 daughter cells, and the establishment of 2 daughter cells.

45
Q

a pair of chromosomes where each member of the partnership comes from one of the 2 parents of this organism. These chromosomes should not be identical to one another, just as one’s parents should not be identical to one another.

A

homologous chromosomes

46
Q

the 2 identical parts of the chromatids formed during DNA replication.

A

sister chromatids

47
Q

DNA replicates, chromatin does not condense, and nothing is dividing.

A

interphase

48
Q

cellular contents, excluding the chromosomes, are duplicated.

A

g1 phase

49
Q

each of the 46 chromosomes is duplicated by the cell.

A

s phase

50
Q

the cell “double checks’ the duplicated chromosomes for error, making any needed repairs.

A

g2 phase

51
Q

major goal of mitosis

A

to distribute a copy of each chromatid into each daughter cell.

52
Q

Duplicated chromosomes are visible. Centrosomes begin moving apart, the nuclear envelope is fragmenting, and the nucleolus will disappear.

A

prophase

53
Q

chromosomes (each consisting of two sister chromatids) are at the metaphase plate (center of fully formed spindle).

A

metaphase

54
Q

daughter chromosomes (each are consisting of one chromatid) are moving toward the poles of the spindle.

A

anaphase

55
Q

daughter cells are forming as nuclear envelopes and nucleoli appear. Chromosomes will become indistinct chromatin.

A

telophase

56
Q

prevents uncontrolled cellular divisions. It is regulated by environmental conditions. Contact inhibition occurs when the borders of cells touch, and division stops.

A

growth control

57
Q

stimulate cell division, and proteins may bind to these to affect their effectiveness. Some proteins can regulate the expression of genes in RNA, and some can suppress tumors.

A

growth factors

58
Q

how do cells know when to divide?

A

Cells must double their mass and must proceed beyond the “start” of G1 phase.

59
Q

Duplication and packaging of DNA, duplication of centrosomes and operation of miotic spindle fibers, and cytokines, which depend on the proteins for a contractile ring or cell plate.

A

3 cycles that trigger the phases of mitosis

60
Q

water potential calculation

A

Water potential = pressure potential + solute potential.

61
Q

looks at how water moves from one compartment to the next. Water potential is affected by relative solute concentrations. If a given solute dissociates in water, this affects how many particles are acting as solutes in a solution, increasing the amount. The water moves from an area of lower concentration of solutes to an area with a higher concentration of solutes. How water moves is dependent upon the pressure exerted by the aqueous solution and solute concentration. The values of water potential inside and outside of the cell help to determine which way the water will move.

A

water potential

62
Q

solute potential equation

A

-iCRT

63
Q

the i stands for this, which depends upon the number of particles present for a given substances dissolved in water.

A

ionization constant

64

C stands for this of the solution

A

65

R stands for this

67
Q

T stands for this

A
