STUDY GUIDE PAGE 9 Flashcards
In facilitative diffusion no ATP is needed, but the use of transporters is required to get solutes from one side of the membrane to the other.
T
Effector neurons deliver signals from PNS to CNS.
F
The Golgi Apparatus is considered the “Post Office” of the cell.
T
Basal Metabolic Rate is a way to compare metabolic rate between animals by standardizing conditions as much as possible.
T
Anabolism are the “constructive” processes of metabolism.
T
Evaporation is a highly effective heating mechanism.
F
Ions CAN freely cross the membrane.
F
Smooth muscle is considered a gastrointestinal muscle.
T
Spinal nerves lack a motor neuron
F
A cell that is hyposmotic has shrunk in size
F
In a ruminant animal, the main site of absorption occurs in the small intestine
F
Animals can simultaneously gain and lose heat
T
Insulin is a protein hormone.
T
The gastric phase of regulation of gastric acid secretion is only controlled by the neural system.
F
The organelles with organelles with membranes of similar origin that are part of the Endomembrane System include: Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, plasma membrane, mitochondria and nucleus.
F
The more double bonds (unsaturated) on the fatty acids in the plasma membrane’s phospholipid bilayer, more fluid the membrane will be.
T
The rate of diffusion is not influenced by membrane thickness, but it’s influenced by membrane permeability.
F
A normal mammalian cell has more Na+ and Cl- inside, and more K+ outside
F
Cotransport and countertransport can be used in secondary active transport.
T
To determine the basal metabolic rate of an animal, we should consider standardized conditions – rest, fasting and thermoneutral zone.
T
When animals are travelling at their most efficient speeds, flying is the most efficient.
F
Thermal equilibrium occurs when both objects are at the same temperature and there is net movement of heat.
F
While conduction, convection and thermal radiation are methods of heat transfer that can result in loss or gain of heat, evaporation is only for loss of heat
T
Ectotherms may regulate body temperature by behavioral means to alter heat transfer.
