Q

Cytosol has a higher concentration of Na+ or K+?

A

K+

28
Q

where low concentration of sodium take place?

A

Inside the cell

29
Q

where should low concentration of potassium take place

A

outside the cell

30
Q

The energy stored in a NA+ or H+ concentration gradient is used to drive other substances across the membrane against their own concentration gradients

A

Secondary Active Transport

31
Q

Transporters that move two substances in the same direction

A

Symporter Proteins

32
Q

Transporting proteins that moves substances in opposite directions

A

Anitporter Protein

33
Q

Describe the reasoning why Antiporters and Symporters work the way they do

A

A substance with steep concentration moves back into the cell, like Na+, with that in mind, kinetic energy is used by other substances to either move in the same direction of opposite direction

34
Q

what are some examples that of secondary transport?

A

Na+ and glucose & Na+ and Amino Acid move into the cell

Na+ moves in the cell and H+ moves out of the cell

35
Q

Small Spherical Sac

A

Vesicles

36
Q

True or False: Transport in vesicles requires energy?

A

True

37
Q

a highly selective type of endocytosis by which cells take up specific ligands

A

Receptor Mediated Endocytosis

38
Q

Cells engulfs large solid particles; worn out cells, bacteria, viruses. Usually known for cellular eating

A

Phagocytosis

39
Q

Cellular drinking; droplets of extracellular fluid is taken in

A

Pinocytosis aka bulk-phase endocytosis

40
Q

Materials that are moved out of the cell

A

Exocytosis

41
Q

How do receptor-mediated endocytosis and phagocytosis differ from pinocytosis

A

Pinocytosis does not involve receptor proteins to initiate endocytosis

42
Q

Cell Structure that synthesis protein

A

Ribosomes

43
Q

Cell structure that contains ribosomes that gives it rough texture and produces protein synthesis

A

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum

44
Q

Cell structure with no ribosomes, synthesis lipids and steroids that makes up the cellular membrane

A

Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum

45
Q

Cell structure the wraps protein in a sac and prepares them for secretion

A

Golgi apparatus

46
Q

Cell structure that is a digestive organelle, destroys bacteria and clean the cell from debris

A

Lysosomes

Q

Cell structure that gives the cell its shape and organization to the cell during cell division

A

Centrosome

49
Q

The control center of the cell

A

Nucleus

50
Q

which are the cells that does not have a nucleus

A

RBCs

51
Q

what components makes up the nucleus

A

Nucleoplasm & Nucleoli

52
Q

Inside this structure are clusters of proteins (histones), DNA & RNA; and also produces ribosomes

A

Nucleoli

53
Q

This structure is a long stand of DNA combined with proteins, 23 structures are from each parent

A

Chromosomes

54
Q

What is mostly the cells function based around

A

Synthesizing Proteins

55
Q

Refers to all of an organisms’s proteins

A

Proteome

56
Q

What are ways proteins functions for cells

A
  • they assemble cell structures (membrane, cytoskeleton, organelles)
  • Hormones
  • Antibodies
  • Contractile units for muscles
57
Q

Process by which genetic information encoded in DNA is coped onto a strand of RNA to direct protein systheis and occurs in the nucleus

A

Transcription

58
Q

The process of reading the mRNA nucleotide sequence (codon) to determine the amino acid sequence of the newly formed protein and occurs outside of the nucleus

A

Translation

59
Q

What is somatic Cell Division

A
  • Any cell in the body, other than a germ cell (sperm or oocyte)
  • Duplication of all 46 chromosomes
  • Mitosis
60
Q

Reproductive Cell Division

A
  • Production of germ cells (sperm or oocyte)
  • Meiosis
61
Q

what are sperm and oocytes otherwise known as

A

Gamates

62
Q

The stage of mitosis that DNA is replicated in the nucleus

A

Interphase

63
Q

The stage of mitosis that is the beginning of duplication - chromatids are formed

A

Prophase

64
Q

The stage of mitosis that chromatids align along the microtubules

A

Metaphase

65
Q

The stage of mitosis that each chromatid is sperated (chromosomes) and moved to opposite poles of the cell

A

Anaphase

66
Q

The stage of mitosis that outer membrane constricts and punches the cell in half creating two identical cells

A

Telophase
