Q

Smaller molecules are forced through porous membrane’s
Hydrostatic pressure important in the body
Example molecules leaving blood capillaries

A

Filtration

19
Q

Substances move up there concentration gradient through phospholipid Byler

A

Active transport

20
Q

Cell engulfs substance by forming vesicle around substance

A

Endocytosis

21
Q

What are the three types of endocytosis and what do they mean

A

Pinocytosis – substance is mostly water
Phagocytosis – substance is a solid
Receptor mediated endocytosis – requires the substance to bind to a membrane bound receptor

22
Q

Substances in a vesicle fuse with cell membrane
Contents released outside the cell
Example release of neurotransmitter from nerve cells

A

Exocytosis

23
Q

Sequence of nucleotides

A

Genetic code

24
Q

Three nucleotides specify single amino acid

25
Functional unit of heredity All the DNA nucleotides need to produce a specific protein Size varies( 300-3000 nucleotides)
Gene
26
Steps of protein synthesis
Given strand of DNA is a nucleus Transcription Translation Repeats until you get a protein
27
mRNA Does from ribosome to nucleus to make complementary copy
Transcription
28
Back at ribosome tRNA Via anti-codons converts mRNA into amino acid sequence
Translation
29
Series of changes a cell undergoes from the time it forms until the time it divides
Cell cycle
30
Stages of the cell cycle
Interphase mitosis cytoplasmic division
31
Very active period Cell grows and maintains routine functions Cell replicates genetic material preparing for nuclear division Cell synthesizes new organelles preparing for cytoplasmic division Phases G & S
Interphase
32
So gross and synthesize the structures other than DNA
G phases
33
Cell replicates DNA
S phase
34
Produces two daughter cells from Anna original somatic cell Nucleus divides –karyokinesis Cytoplasm divides – cytokinesis Undergoes four stages called prophase metaphase anaphase and telophase
Mitosis
35
Chromosomes form being becoming visible: envelope disappears
Prophase
36
Chromosomes align slightly midway between centrioles
Metaphase
37
Chromosomes separate and move to centrioles
Anaphase
38
Chromatin reforms; nuclear envelope forms
Telophase
39
Permanent DNA sequence changes
Mutations
40
Remain in original tissue
Benign
41
Accelerated growth due to blood vessel growth and supply to the area
Malignant
42
Cells migrating to nearby tissues
Invasion
43
Formation of secondary tumor’s
Metastasis
