peristalsis
3 Groups can answer:
Name and describe the 3 ways cells connect to each other.
Tight Junctions - cell membranes bind cells together into leakproof sheets. This prevents cells substances from getting in through any extracellular space
Desmosomes - anchoring junctions that provides support for cells subject to mechanical stress
Gap junctions - allow for communcation through hollow cylinders.
In _______________, channel proteins and protein carriers allow substances into a cell while still requiring no energy.
facilitated diffusion
During which phase of the cell cycle does DNA replication happen?
Synthesis
This type of epithelial tissue is found lining parts of the body that experience frequent abrasions. What kind of tissue is this most likely to be?
Stratified Squamous
What kind of tissue is adipose classified as? Why is it classified that way?
Loose connective tissue - because there is space between the cells
This is a type of facilitated diffusion that specifically pertains to water passing through a semi-permeable membrane
osmosis
Peroxisomes
Lysosomes
Examples of this type of transport include endocytosis and the sodium-potassium pump.
Active transport
List and describe the 3 types of RNA. (3 separate answers)
rRNA (Ribosomes)
mRNA (messenger RNA immediately after translation)
tRNA (transcription RNA that provides the right amino acids that correspond to the codons
What kind of cell is this?
Neuron
What is the difference between regeneration and fibrosis?
Regeneration - replacement of destroyed tissue by the same type of cells.
Fibrosis - repair using fibrous connective tissue to make scar tissue
What is the difference between RNA translation and RNA transcription?
Translation - converts DNA into RNA
Transcription - converting RNA into the amino acids represented by the codons
What is the main difference between the smooth and rough endoplasmic reticulum?
rough has ribosomes
2 Types of transport use a vesicle to bring substances into or out of a cell. What are those processes?
endocytosis
exocytosis
Describe the structural and functional differences between DNA and RNA (2 minutes to write your answer)
Functional - DNA turns into RNA which is used for protein synthesis. DNA comes from our parents and RNA is just a reflection of DNA.
Structure - DNA = 2 strands while RNA = 1 strand. RNA uses Uracil instead of Thymine
