Miscellaneous
100
This is the stage of the cell cycle where DNA is synthesized
What is S or synthesis
100

What are the three steps in a signal transduction pathway?

What is reception, transduction, response

100

Negative feedback is an example of a __________ mechanism. 

homeostatic

100

At this phase, chromosomes line up in the middle of the dividing cell.

Metaphase

100
Prokaryotes do not undergo mitosis. They do this instead.
What is binary fission
200
This is a cancerous type of tumor
What is malignant
200

These molecules can move through the membrane and initiate response within the cell

What is nonpolar/hydrophobic

200

Describe negative feedback. 

Negative feedback reduces change and returns to the original state.

200

During mitosis, the cell splits into 2 _______________.

Daughter cells

200
2 identical strands of DNA produced during the S phase are considered to be these to each other
What is sister chromatid
300

What percentage of a cells life will be spent in interphase?

about 90%

300

A molecule that specifically binds to a receptor is known as this

What is ligand

300

Describe positive feedback.

Positive feedback increases change beyond a set point.

300

This phase happens along with cytokinesis (splitting of cytoplasm). 

telophase

300

The receptor for a steroid would be found where?

Inside of the cell or nucleus because a steroid is a type of lipid and lipids are nonpolar.

400
These are the two genes associated with cancer
What is tumor-suppressor and proto-oncogenes
400

This type of signaling involves numerous cells responding to a nearby cell's release of chemicals

What is paracrine signaling

400

Give 2 examples of negative feedback. 

Blood glucose, temperature, heart rate, cell communication, ect. 

400
A human eye cell has 46 chromosomes. How many chromosomes will it have during anaphase?
What is 92
400
This is an example of a gamete vs. a somatic cell in a human
What is sperm/egg, other cells in the body
500

Explain what happens in each phase of the cell cycle.

G1 - cell growth

S - synthesis of more DNA 

G2 - cell growth 

M - mitosis

500

A signaling molecule that is hydrophilic/polar will bind to a receptor here

What is in the cell membrane

500

Give one example of positive feedback and explain why it is positive. 

Birth, blood clotting, lactation

All increase change rather than decreasing it. 

500
Cytokinesis in animal cells involves this, while plant cells has this
What is cleavage furrow and cell plate
500

This is the name of the protein that phosphorylates other proteins during a transduction cascade
