400

This organelle is responsible for production of steroid hormones

Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum

400

The cellular adaptation that occurs from weightlifting is called

Physiological hypertrophy

400

The process by which an injured swollen cell begins to break into smaller compact pieces in order to regulate volume

membrane blebbing

400

Name and briefly describe the stages of mitosis

  1. Prophase: Chromosomes condense and become visible, Nuclear envelope breaks down

  2. Prometaphase: Mitotic spindle fibers attach to kinetochores on chromosomes 

  3. Metaphase: Chromosomes line up in the middle of the plate

  4. Anaphase: Sister chromatids pulled apart toward opposite poles

  5. Telophase: Chromosomes arrive at opposite poles and nuclear envelope reforms around each set of chromosomes

400

This molecule has a secondary and tertiary structure that binds an amino acid on one end and the mRNA on the other end

tRNA
