Q

What is Active Transport?

A

When cells use energy to move substances that are too large, against the concentration gradient. Can move substances that aren’t lipid soluble and cannot diffuse across the membrane.

Q

Define the Term for the following:

Same concentration of solute and solvent (water) across the membrane

A

Isotonic

20
Q

Define Hypertonic

A

less solute on the outside of the membrane. Drives water into the cell but, may cause them to rupture

21
Q

True or False? Hypertonic means that there is more solute outside of the membrane which drives water out of the cells and shrinks them.

A

True

22
Q

Intracellular fluid is made up of how much total body water (TBW).

A

2/3

23
Q

Extracellular fluid is made up of how much total body water?

A

1/3

24
Q

Intravascular fluid is a type of extracellular fluid. Where is it found?

A

Lymphatic and blood vessels

25
Q

Interstitial Fluid is an extracellular fluid. Where is it located?

A

The outside of vessels and surrounding tissues.

26
Q

What is the concentration gradient?

A

the spectrum between the most concentrated and least concentrated regions filled with molecules

27
Q

What is edema?

A

Abnormal leakage of fluids from the vascular space due to low levels of albumin, electrolytes, and other soluble proteins that keep the “pull” on those fluids in the vessels.

28
Q

Define Pulmonary Edema

A

fluid leakage into the lung tissue

29
Q

Define Cutaneous Edema

A

fluid leakage into the skin

30
Q

Define Pitting Cutaneous Edema

A

an indentation in the skin after applying pressure into a region of an animal’s skin that has fluid accumulation

31
Q

What is membrane potential?

A

the electrical potential difference across the plasma membrane when the cell is in a non-excited state

32
Q

The M Phase of cell division is when the cell does what?

A

Actively divides and produces two daughter cells with identical genetic material

33
Q

What signals the end of Prophase?

A

The disintegration of the nuclear envelope

34
Q

What occurs in Metaphase?

A

Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell to form the metaphase plate

35
Q

What occurs in Anaphase?

A

The centromere divides in half and is pulled apart to opposite poles.

36
Q

What phase of mitosis is the shortest?

A

Anaphase, lasts only a few minutes

37
Q

What occurs in Telophase?

A

Chromosomes unravel, elongate and return to normal chromatin. A nuclear envelope reappears and then the cell pinches itself in half to create two new cells

38
Q

What is DNA replication?

A

A perfect copy of DNA that is passed onto daughter cells prior to division

39
Q

What occurs in Interphase?

A

The period between cell division where the cell continues on with normal activities and the DNA and centriole (spindle apparatus) continues replication of themselves

40
Q

What is a somatic cell?

A

All the cells in the body (minus reproductive); go through mitosis in which a single cell makes two identical daughter cells

41
Q

What are reproductive cells?

A

Ovaries, testicles, eggs, and sperm; go through meiosis in which the daughter cell will end up with half the number of chromosomes.

42
Q

What is Transcription?

A

When genetic information in DNA is copied onto mRNA and exported to the cytoplasm

43
Q

What is translation?

A

The making of a protein from a mRNA template strand; translating information in the form of nucleotides annd making them amino acids

44
Q

Define Codons

A

The 3 nucleotides on the mRNA that code for specific amino acids

45
Q

Define Anti-Codons

A

The trio of nitrogenous bases that correspond to codons

46
Q

How does protein synthesis work?

just read

A

Pre-mRNA molecules are made via transcription and then are fine tuned to produce mRNA. This is then exported from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. Ribosomes attach to mRNA and act like landing pads for tRNA that have amino acids attached to them. Then translation occurs and polypeptide chains are built and then further combined to create protein.
