a
Name and describe the three shapes of cells found in epithelial tissue.
simple- flat cells with a nucleus. can be found in simple or stratified. found mostly in skin cells.
cuboidal - usually found in cubed shapes but always have equal height, width, and depth. found in the kidneys
columnar- cells that are taller than they are wide with a nucleus
Define the conformation of a protein and denaturation of a protein
a
What is the name of the structure that anchors cilia and flagella to a cell?
basal body
What are the 3 most common elements in the body?
carbon, hydrogen, oxygen

elastic- elastic
hyaline- mid-grade
fibro- tough

a
Define hydrophilic, hydrophobic, and amphiphilic
hydrophilic- binds to water
hydrophobic- does not bind to water
amphiphilic- both hydrophilic and hydrophobic
What are the 3 protein filaments that make up the cytoskeleton and which is the thickest?
intermediate filaments
microfilaments
microtubules- are the thickest
What do the prefixes mono-, poly-, and oligo- mean?
mono- one
poly- many
oligo- fewer than 15
Why are saturated fats solid and unsaturated fats liquid at room temperature?
a
Explain why a large surface are-to-volume ratio is good for a cell and how that limits cell size. (3)
a
How many amino acid types are found in human proteins and how many amino acids in a chain make up a protein (3)
There are 20 amino acid types found in human proteins. There needs to be 50 or more amino acids in a chain to make up a protein
What are the differences between symports, antiports, and uniports? (3)
a
What is a hydration sphere and how is it formed? (3)
A hydration shere is when water binds to a compound breaking it appart. The hydrogen in water is attracted to the negative element in the compound and the oxygen is attracted to the positive element in the compound.
What is the difference between synthesis, decomposition, and exchange reactions? (3)
In synthesis, two reations combine to form a new product. A+B –> AB.
In decomposition, a reactant breaks down into two or more products. AB –> A+B
In exchange reations, two or more elements are “exchanged” to form two new compounds. AB+CD –> AD+BC
