In the fluid mosaic model, these molecules make up the bilayer found in the cell membrane.

 What is phospolipids

100

Movement of a solution across a plasma membrane because of a pressure gradient is called this:

What is filtration?

100

This organelle produces large amounts of ATP.

What is mitochondria?

100

In the process of transcription, mRNA is copied from this.

What is DNA?

100

Two or more genes that occupy the same locus on a chromosome are called this?

What is allele?

200

This membrane protein, made of glycoproteins and glycolipids, allows cells to identify one another or other molecules.

What are marker molecules?

200

A red blood cell is placed into an unknown solution. Later, the cells appear to be swollen and some have burst.  You conclude that the solution is this.

What is hypotonic?

200

Ribosomal subunits are produced by this round cell structure found within the nucleus.

What is nucleolus?

200

This can be said of translation:

What is:  

  a. it requires tRNA and ribosomes

  b. a codon specifies for one amino acid

  c. proteins are synthesized

200

This genotype is homozygous dominant.

What is AA?

300

These channel proteins are always open and are responsible for the permeability of the plasma membrane to ions.

What are nongated ion channels?

300

These substances may diffuse directly through the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane.

What is carbon dioxide and oxygen?

300

The Golgi apparatus produces vesicles which contain proteins that can do what?

What is:

be secreted by exocytosis

become part of the plasma membrane 

be enzymes that are used within the cell

300

This sequence of nucleotides is the anticodon for AUG (methionine).

What is UAC?

300

This is an example of codominance in which all 3 alleles are expressed at the same time.

What is ABO blood groups?

400

Receptors linked to G protein complexes can stimulate a cell response in this manner:

What is:

by opening ion channels

by activating ions

by means of intracellular chemical signals

400

What function does the sodium-potassium pump perform?

What is transports sodium ions out of a cell and potassium ions into the cell?

400

True or False.  Enzymes found inside lysosomes digest phagocytized bacteria, nonfunctional organelles, nucleic acids, proteins and lipids.

What is True?
400

During DNA replication, this enzyme adds new nucleotides to the existing template.

What isDNA polymerase.

400

This disorder is caused by having an extra chromosome #21 and results in mental retardation, short stature and a shortened life span.

What is Down Syndrome?

500

This genetic disorder causes failure of chloride ion channels and results in cells producing a thick secretion which profoundly affects the lungs making breathing difficult.

What is cystic fibrosis?

500

True or False.  Phagocytosis requires ATP, does not exhibit saturation and transports liquid substances across the cell membrane.

What is False?

500

Cells that synthesize large amounts of lipids would have this.

What is large amounts of smooth ER?

500

This event is not a result of mitosis.

What is 2 haploid cells are formed?

500

This can be said of the X-linked trait hemophilia.

What is if a male has the recessive allele, he will be a hemophiliac and a female must have 2 recessive alleles to be a hemophiliac.
