Tissues
This mineral gives bone its hardness.
What is calcium phosphate?
This organelle houses DNA and controls cellular activity.
What is the nucleus?
This structure forms the basic framework of the membrane.
What is the phospholipid bilayer?
This is the outermost layer of the skin.
What is the epidermis?
This RNA carries genetic information from DNA to the ribosome.
What is mRNA?
These cells are responsible for breaking down bone tissue.
What are osteoclasts?
This organelle is the primary site of ATP production through aerobic respiration.
What is the mitochondrion?
This property allows the membrane to control movement of substances.
What is selective permeability?
This layer contains blood vessels, glands, and hair follicles.
What is the dermis?
This process occurs in the nucleus and produces RNA from DNA.
What is transcription?
This structure is the functional unit of compact bone.
What is the osteon?
This organelle modifies, sorts, and packages proteins for secretion.
What is the Golgi apparatus?
This model describes the membrane as dynamic with embedded proteins.
What is the fluid mosaic model?
This epidermal layer is found only in thick skin (like palms/soles).
What is the stratum lucidum?
This process occurs at the ribosome and builds a polypeptide chain.
What is translation?
This membrane covers the outer surface of bone and contains osteogenic cells.
What is the periosteum?
This organelle contains hydrolytic enzymes and is involved in autophagy.
What is the lysosome?
These membrane proteins bind specific molecules to trigger a cellular response.
What are receptor proteins?
These cells produce melanin and help protect against UV radiation.
What are melanocytes?
This RNA type delivers specific amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis.
What is tRNA?
This process replaces cartilage with bone during fetal development and growth.
What is endochondral ossification?
This structure studded with ribosomes is responsible for synthesizing proteins destined for secretion or membranes.
What is the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER)?
This molecule interspersed in the membrane stabilizes it by preventing extremes in fluidity.
What is cholesterol?
This process describes the movement of keratinocytes from the basal layer to the surface where they eventually die.
What is keratinization?
This sequence of three nucleotides on mRNA determines a specific amino acid during translation.
What is a codon?
