Answer 1

cells from the same kind that perform a shared function

Question 2

Organ

Answer 2

tissues combined together

Question 3

Organ System

Answer 3

organs serving a common physiological function

Question 4

Cell theory

Answer 4

All living organisms are composed of one of more cells, the cells are the basic unit of all life and new cells arise from existing cells

Question 5

Question 6

Components of a cell

Answer 6

Cell boundaries, cytoplasm, and nucleus

Question 7

Plasma Membrance

Answer 7

Cell boundary, control transport of molecules, cell contact

• phospholipid bilayer with hydrobic tail and hydrophyllic head
• peripheral and integral proteins
• aquaporins (bidirectional channels that allow water to pass.
• carbohydrates for cell recognition

Answer 22

Many small that moves fluids passed surface

Question 23

Flagellum

Answer 23

1 big that moves the cell by wiggling (only sperm in human)

Question 24

Vesicles

Answer 24

Membrane bound sacs that function in storage, transport, endo and pinocytosis

Question 25

Extra Cellular Matrix of Animal Cells

Answer 25

complex network of proteins and carbohydrates that function to hold the cell together and allow the cell to communicate with each other

Question 26

Tight Junctions

Answer 26

water tight connection between two animal cells.
Proteins: claudins and occludins
Functions: prevent material from leaking between cells and found in endothelial cells

Question 27

Desmosomes/ adhering junctions

Answer 27

Forms a very strong spot weld between cells
Proteins: Cadherins and intermediate filaments
Functions: join two adjacent cells and maintain the cells in a sheet like formation to enable stretching

Question 28

Gap Junctions

Answer 28

Protein lined pore that allows water and small molecules to pass between cells
Functions: transport of ions and nutrients, allows cells to communicate

Question 29

Retina Cells

Answer 29

Photoreceptor cells
cilia for containing photosensitive compounds in a disk/sac
rods and cones
Rhodopsin (opsin and retinal) changes retinal configuration
respond to specific wavelengths
