35
Q

95% H2O inside of cell
5% H2O outside of cell
1. water will flow ____
2. the cell will ___

A

1.out of the cell
2. shrink
hyper-tonic solution

36
Q

95% H2O inside of cell
95% H2O outside of cell
1. water will flow ____
2. the cell will ___

A

1.in both directions
2. stay the same
iso-tonic solution

37
Q

5% H2O inside of cell
95% H2O outside of cell
1. water will flow ____
2. the cell will ___

A
  1. into the cell
  2. burst/swell
  3. hypo tonic
38
Q

Explain 2 differences between Active and Passive transport

A
  • Passive Transport doesn’t require energy, active transport does
    -Active transport move against the concentration gradient (low to high), passive transport moves along the concentration gradient (high to low)
39
Q

Explain the term homeostasis.

A

Maintaining a stable internal environment.

40
Q

What is the problem with cells growing too big?

A

If cells become too large, DNA would not be able to meet the demands of the cell. The DNA cannot serve it. Information “OVERLOAD”.

41
Q

What is the most important thing for a cell to do before it divides?

A

It must copy it’s DNA.

42
Q

List 3 differences between Asexual and Sexual Reproduction.

A
  • AR needs one parent, SR needs two parents
  • AR is an exact replica/genetically identical of parent, SR is genetically unique/ has genetic diversity
  • AR is not capable of adapting to changes in the environment, SR Can have adaptations to environment
43
Q

Why is it a problem that the volume of a cell increases more rapidly than the surface area?

A

More food is being used up than being allowed into the cell. More waste is being produced than being expelled (let out). The cell will produce waste faster than it can remove.

44
Q

What are the functions of the cell membrane?

A

Provides protection for the cell, monitors what comes in/out, helps maintain the shape of the cell, allows entry of nutrient and exit of harmful substances.

45
Q

List the levels of organization in a multicellular organism from simplest level to the most complex level.

A
  • Cell
  • Tissues
  • Organs
  • Organ Systems
    -Organisms
46
Q

A normal body cell contains 46 chromosomes. Which type of cells contain half of that 23?

A

Gametes are sex sells so either egg or sperm cells.

47
Q

Explain cell differentiation

A

The process of when cells become specialized. They get their jobs.

48
Q

What are stem cells?

A

Fertilized egg and the cells produced by the first few cell divisions of embryonic development (embryonic stem cells) have the ability to develop into any type of cell in the body. Stem cells offer the potential of being able to repair or replace damaged cells and tissues. Are called pluripotent because they can develop into most cell types.

49
Q

Provide 2 differences between Embryonic and Adult Stem cells.

A
  • ESC are pluripotent, ASC are multi potent = more limited/specialized.
  • ESC can produce blood cells, muscle cells, nerve cells, etc…, ASC can produce different types of blood cells, not nerve cells.
50
Q

What is the ethical issue behind stem cells research?

A

Most techniques for harvesting Embryonic stem cells cause the destruction of an embryo. Some people think the embryo is the first sign of life.

51
Q

What is apoptosis?

A

A process of programmed cell death. Once apoptosis is triggered, a cell will go through a series of steps to reach death.

52
Q

What is cyclin? And its function?

A

Was a protein discovered in 1980’s that could regulate the timing of the cell cycle.

53
Q

What is cancer?

A

A disease in which normal cells lose the ability to regulate growth.

54
Q

What is a tumor?

A

A mass of tissue.

55
Q

Provide the 2 types of tumors and describe each one.

A
  • Benign tumors are non cancerous and do not spread to surrounding healthy tissue.
  • Malignant tumors are cancerous and invade and destroy surrounding tissue.
56
Q

Do all cells contain the same DNA? With the exception of gametes (sex cells).

A

Yes.
