Cell Structures
What is the name of the wall that forms the external bounndry of a cell?
Plasma membrane.
What are the two broadest categories of cellular transport?
Active and Passive Transport
Phospholipids
What is the result of Mitosis?
The creation of two identical daughter cells
What is the central dogma?
DNA -> RNA -> Proteins
What is the function of Ribosomes?
To synthesize proteins
What type of is the name of transport when vesicles fuse with the plasma membrane allowing its contents to be released outside the cell
Exocytosis
The head of a phospholipid is hydrophobic or hydrophilic?
Hydrophilic
Which of the following is not part of Mitosis?
metaphase, prophase, interphase, telophase, anaphase
Interphase
Broadly speaking, what is transcription?
The creation of RNA using a DNA template
What is the function of lyzosomes?
They degrade material taken up from outside the cell
What are the three types of endocytosis?
1.) Phagocytosis
2.) Pinocytosis
3.) Receptor-mediated endocytosis
The tails of Phospholipids are hydrophobic or hydrophilic?
Hydrophilic
What is the correct order of interphase steps?
G1 phase -> S phase -> G2 phase
Broadly speaking, what is translation?
The creation of protein using a RNA template
What does the Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum synthesize?
Lipids
In the Sodium-Potassium Pump how many Na+ cations move per K+ cations and in which directions (in/out of the cell).
What type of molecules are able to diffuse through the cellular membrane?
What occurs during the S phase of cell replication?
DNA replication and cell growth
What carries the anticodons during translation?
tRNA molcules carry the anticodon
What is transcripted in the nucleolus
rRNA is transcripted which then gets transcribed into ribosome subunits also in the nucleolus.
One molecule moves into the cell against its concentration gradient while at the same time another molecule moves out of the cell down its concentration gradient. What is this type of transport called?
Antiport
What allows for the transport of big or hydrophilic molecules through the plasma membrane
Transport Proteins
What is the correct order of the steps of Mitotic phase?
Prophase -> Metaphase -> Anaphase -> Telophase
What is the 3 letter codon and amino acid for the start of translation?
AUG, methionine
