Science Flashcards
Which is NOT a type of protein?
Unsaturated
Unsaturated refers to a type of fat, not a protein category.
What are the three types of proteins?
- Fibrous
- Membrane
- Globular
These categories describe the structure and function of different proteins.
How many tissue layers does the uterus have?
Three
The three layers of the uterus are the perimetrium, myometrium, and endometrium.
Which of the following orbitals is the last to fill?
6s
Fill in the blank: The last orbital to fill is the _______.
6s
True or False: The 1s orbital is the last to fill.
False
Which orbital comes before the 6s orbital in the filling order?
4p
What is the filling order of the following orbitals: 1s, 4p, 6s?
1s, 4p, 6s
Which of these body parts does NOT produce melanin?
Nails
Melanin is produced in hair, skin, and the iris but not in nails.
Which nitrogenous base is matched incorrectly with its nucleobase?
Purine: Thymine
Purines include Adenine and Guanine, while Thymine and Uracil are pyrimidines.
What are the two types of nitrogenous bases?
- Purines
- Pyrimidines
Purines consist of Adenine and Guanine. Pyrimidines consist of Thymine, Cytosine, and Uracil.
How many different types of nucleotides are there in DNA?
Four
The four types of nucleotides in DNA are adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), and guanine (G).
What position is a patient in when lying flat on their back?
Supine
The supine position is commonly used in medical settings for examinations and procedures.
What is the opposite position of supine?
Prone
In the prone position, a patient lies flat on their stomach.
Define the lateral position.
A position where the patient lies on their side
The lateral position is used for certain medical examinations and procedures.
True or False: The medial position refers to a patient lying flat on their back.
False
Medial refers to being situated toward the midline of the body, not a specific lying position.
Where in the periodic table of elements are the elements with the largest atomic radii located?
Bottom-left corner
Atomic radii tend to increase down a group and decrease across a period in the periodic table.
True or False: Elements with the largest atomic radii are found in the upper-right corner of the periodic table.
False
The largest atomic radii are located in the bottom-left corner of the periodic table.
Fill in the blank: Elements with the largest atomic radii are typically located in the _______.
Bottom-left corner
This is due to the increasing number of electron shells as you move down the groups.
What is formed when the plasma membrane surrounds a particle outside of the cell?
Endocytic vesicles
Endocytic vesicles are involved in the process of endocytosis, where the cell engulfs external particles.
Which structures are NOT formed when the plasma membrane surrounds a particle?
Golgi bodies, Rough endoplasmic reticulum, Secretory vesicles
Golgi bodies, rough endoplasmic reticulum, and secretory vesicles play different roles in the cell’s functions.
True or False: The rough endoplasmic reticulum is formed when the plasma membrane surrounds a particle.
False
The rough endoplasmic reticulum is involved in protein synthesis, not in the engulfing process.
Fill in the blank: The process where the plasma membrane engulfs particles is called _______.
endocytosis
Endocytosis is crucial for nutrient uptake and cellular signaling.
