large molecules and particles

clathrin-mediated
endocytosis

A

Receptor-mediated
endocytosis

18
Q

captures the cellular fluid and
dissolved substances

(“pino” means “to drink”)

A

Bulk-phase endocytosis
(pinocytosis)

19
Q

no extension

A

pinocytosis

20
Q

extends outwards

A

phagocytosis

21
Q

vesicles undergo endocytosis
on one side of a cell, move
across the cell, and undergo
exocytosis on the opposite
side

A

Transcytosis

22
Q

synthesizing large numbers of diverse proteins.

a gene’s DNA is used as a template for synthesis of a specific protein.

A

PROTEIN SYNTHESIS

23
Q

flow of genetic information

suggests that DNA contains the information needed to make all of our proteins, and that RNA is a messenger that carries this information to the ribosomes

A

The Central Dogma of Life

24
Q

the information in the DNA of every cell is converted into
small, portable mRNA (messenger RNA)

Newly synthesized pre-mRNA is modified before leaving the nucleus

A

TRANSCRIPTION

25
Q

the nucleotide sequence of mRNA specifies the amino acid sequence of a protein

A

TRANSLATION

26
Q

process by which cells reproduce themselves.

A

CELL DIVISION

27
Q

-cell undergoes a nuclear division called mitosis and a
cytoplasmic division called cytokinesis
-two genetically identical cells,

A

SOMATIC CELL DIVISION

28
Q

produces gametes,
meiosis, in which the number of chromosomes in the nucleus is reduced by half

A

REPRODUCTIVE DIVISION

29
Q

progressive alteration of
the body’s homeostatic adaptive responses

A

AGING

30
Q

a group of diseases
characterized by uncontrolled
or abnormal cell division

A

CANCER

31
Q

divide without control,
the excess tissue that develops
is called

A

a tumor or neoplasm.

32
Q

The study of tumors is called

A

oncology

33
Q

cancerous growths of melanocytes,

A

Melanomas

34
Q

any cancer arising from muscle cells or
connective tissues

A

Sarcoma

35
Q

cancer of blood-forming organs characterized by rapid
growth of abnormal leukocytes

A

Leukemia

36
Q

malignant disease of lymphatic tissue

A

Lymphoma
