Organelles
Site of many chemical reactions
cytosol
Malignant tumors spread by ________ to other tissues (directly, or via bloodstream/lymphatic system)
metastasis
Name the type of process that goes against the concentration gradient
active transport
Cells that have unlimited division capabilities, which can be carried out through mitosis or differentiation
stem cells
What are the stages of mitosis in order
prophase
metaphase
anaphase
telophase
Composes 55% of the cell membrane
proteins
Which organelle is commonly associated with Cystic Fibrosis?
Golgi Apparatus
A drop of dye dissolving in water is what type of passive transport process?
diffusion
This type of cell can differentiate into one predetermined type of cell, and they are committed to that one cell line. Their replication is limited.
progenitor cells
This process during mitosis allows the formation of 2 daughter cells. The cell membrane constricts around the two cells, completing when the cells are completely separate.
cytokinesis
Contains flattened membranous sacs called cisternae
Golgi Apparatus
Digitalis helps a patient to have a more vigorous heartbeat. Which two cations does it allow a buildup of?
Calcium and sodium
How glucose enters and leaves (most) human cells?
facilitated diffusion
This type of stem cell can become any cell type
Totipotent stem cell
Name the group of kinase enzymes that transfer a phosphate group from ATP to proteins to help regulate cell activities
Peroxisomes
2 answers required. Adrenoleukodystrophy is a genetic condition that damages __________ and is associated with which organelle?
myelin sheath
peroxisomes
Osmosis helps maintain our osmotic pressure at what percentage?
0.9%
This stem cell can become cell types like endoderm, ectoderm, or mesoderm
pluripotent stem cell
The final product of two identical DNA molecules, with one new and the other old, is called _____________ replication
semiconservative
Stores glycogen, lipids, crystals and pigments
inclusions
What does MELAS stand for?
Mitochondrial Encephalopathy Syndrome
There are 5 factors affecting the rate of diffusion. Name 3
1. concentration steepness
2. temperature (higher is faster)
3. size of molecule
4. surface area of diffusion
5. distance of diffusion
These stem cells can only differentiate into a select group, such as lymphoid or myeloid stem cells
oligopotent stem cells
Nucleotides are positioned and linked by this enzyme
DNA polymerase
