Bio midterm 2 Flashcards
The cellular organelle that consist of a network of members used to transport substances through a cell: endoplasmic recticulum or exoskeleton
Endoplasmic reticulum
A non-pigmented cellular organelle found in plant cells whose function include store in starches, lipids, and proteins: hereditary or leucoplast
leucoplast
An organelle in plant cells that holds materials and helps maintain cell shape through turgor pressure: central vacuole or catalyst
Central vacuole
A thick fluid inside cells that contains the organelles: diploid or cytoplasm
Cytoplasm
The cellular organelle that directs the protein building process: ribosome or receptacle
Ribosome
A rigid structure made by cells of plants, fungi, and most bacteria around the cell membrane: cell cycle or cell wall
Cell wall
The two layers of phospholipids that make up a cell membrane: lipid bilayer or long capacity
Lipid bilayer
The genetic material of eukaryotic cells consisting of DNA and associated proteins: chromatin or divergence
Chromatin
Describes a solution who’s solute concentration is less than the solute concentration of the cytoplasm in a cell: hypotonic or inhibitor
Hypotonic
Describes a solution who’s solute concentration is greater than the solute concentration of the cytoplasm in a cell: hypertonic or homeotic
Hypertonic
Describes a solution who’s salute concentration is equal to the salute concentration of the cytoplasm in a cell: Isotonic or iris
Isotonic
The movement of substances across the cell membrane without the need for energy: organ transport or passive transport
Passive transport
The movement of substances across the cell membrane that requires energy: animalism or active transport
Active transport
The sum of all the life-sustaining chemical processes within an organisms cells: newtons or metabolism
Metabolism
The phase of metabolism that builds molecules in stores energy: abdomen or anabolism
anabolism
The phase of metabolism that breaks down molecules and releases energy: catabolism for cellular respiration
catabolism
the structure formed by double-stranded molecules of nucleic acids such as DNA: double helix or triple chain
Double helix
The process by which a strand of DNA is copied to produce an identical strand: replication or plasmid
Replication
The process by which a particular segment of DNA is copied into RNA: transcription or thermophile
Transcription
The process in which a ribosome build a protein: translation or thorax
Translation
A segment of a DNA or RNA molecule that does not code for proteins and interrupts the sequence of genes: hemoglobin or intons
Intons
A segment of a DNA or RNA molecule containing information coding for a protein or peptide sequence: exons or lymph
Exons
A set of three bases in an RNA strand that together code for specific amino acid: codon or diaphragm
Codon
