compartmentalization

A

keeping things separate.
- enzymes and substrates in small area(high concentration)

94
Q

what will happen if a typical animal cell is placed in a hypotonic solution?

A

the cell will burst because of the large entry of water by osmosis

95
Q

what will happen if an animal cell is placed in a hypertonic solution?

the cell will shrink due to losing water from cytoplasm

96
Q

what is a stem cell?

A

an undifferentiated cell with potential to divide and differentiate

97
Q

A

osmosis is high to low concentration with water, but if it’s with a solute it is low to high concentration.

98
Q

What are some uses of an isotonic solution?

A

contact solution, transporting organs, liquid in IV’s

Example sentence: An isotonic solution is commonly used in contact lens solution to match the osmotic pressure of the eye’s natural fluids.

99
Q

What is meant by “turgidity”?

A

Turgidity means that the cell is full of water

Example sentence: Plant cells rely on turgidity to maintain their structure and support.

100
Q

When a concentrated solution of glucose is separated from a dilute solution of glucose by a partially permeable membrane, determine which solution will show a net gain of water molecules.

A

The water will go towards the concentrated solution of glucose. The glucose solution will have a net gain.

Example sentence: This process is known as osmosis and is crucial for maintaining proper water balance in cells.

101
Q

Explain, using your knowledge of osmosis, what happens to a fungal spore that starts to grow after landing on jam made from fruit and its own weight of sucrose.

A

The fungal spore is hypotonic and has a high amount of water so the water is moving away and the concentration in the jam is moving inside the fungal spore.

Example sentence: Osmosis plays a role in nutrient absorption and growth in various organisms.

102
Q

State three sources where stem cells can be obtained.

A

Bone marrow, hair, nails

Example sentence: Bone marrow is a common source of adult stem cells used in medical treatments.

103
Q

Distinguish between totipotent, pluripotent, and multipotent.

A

Totipotent- most potential to differentiate, zygotes or early embryos

Pluripotent- potential to differentiate, later embryos or developing fetuses

Multipotent- quite limited potential, already mostly differentiated

Example sentence: Understanding the different types of stem cells is crucial for their therapeutic applications.

104
Q

State two significant features about stem cells that make them suitable for stem cell therapy.

A

They haven’t differentiated yet
They can divide

Example sentence: The ability of stem cells to differentiate and replace damaged tissues is the basis of stem cell therapy.

105
Q

What happens to the surface area to volume ratio as a cell increases in size?

A

The ratio gets smaller

Example sentence: Cells need to maintain a high surface area to volume ratio for efficient nutrient exchange and waste removal.

106
Q

What is the function of the surface area of a cell?

A

Cells want more surface area for a small amount of volume so that there is easier transport of materials and for sped up chemical reactions.

Example sentence: Microvilli on the surface of cells increase the surface area for absorption of nutrients.

107
Q

Describe some examples of how certain cells’ sizes are directly related to their function.

A

White blood cells are small so they can get places easily to fight antibodies
Sperm cells are small to allow for more of them

Example sentence: The size and shape of cells are intricately linked to their specialized functions in the body.

108
Q

reasons for new cells

A

-cell maintenance- replacing cells
-to grow- add cells
-reproduction- single cell organisms reproduce by cell division

A

the actual process of cell division

110
Q

cytokinesis in animals

A

-Cleavage Furrow-center where its being pulled
-Actin and Myosin-proteins that pull cell membrane to cleavage furrow-pinches cell

111
Q

cytokinesis in plants

A

-Cell Wall is rigid and doesn’t allow pinch
- Vesicicles Full Of proteins Move to center Of CelI and Fuse together

113
Q

examples of unequal cytokinesis

A

budding in yeast

A

dna must duplicate before nuclear division

119
Q

dna replication

A

-chromosomes become double stranded
-duplicant is connected to original-same number of chromosomes
-amount of dna has doubled
-sister chromatids are attached together in chromosome held together by protein called cohesin
-cohesin is cut and sisters are separated
-single stranded chromosomes again

120
Q

why are chromosomes condensed first in nuclear division

A

makes it easier to move

121
Q

histone protein in condensing of chromosomes

A

dna wraps around bundle of histones which then wraps around that bundle and keeps compounding until very dense- called supercoiling

122
Q

microtubules in cell division

A

attach to cohesin and pull it apart to opposite sides

123
Q

microtubule organizing center

A

proteins that organize and pull apart chromosomes

124
Q

phases of mitosis

A

interphase: when dna duplicates-single to double stranded

prophase: chromosomes condense, mtoc forms, nucleus dissolves

metaphase:moved to middle so can be pulled apart evenly

anaphase: chromosomes pulled apart to opposite sides

telophase: chromosomes uncondense, mtoc dissolves, 2 nuclei reform-1 around both sets of chromosomes
