This is the process by which water and solutes are forced through a membrane (or capillary wall) by fluid (hydrostatic) pressure. It is a passive transport process that occurs in the kidney.
What is filtration?
100
a DNA segment that carries the information for building one protein or polypeptide
What is a gene?
100
a short phase in which the chromosomes are lined up down the middle of the cell
What is metaphase?
100
are likely to be found in or on cells specialized for absorption
What are microvilli?
100
energy generation powerhouse of the cell
What is a mitochondria?
200
diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane down its concentration gradient
What is osmosis?
200
The sequence of DNA that would call for an mRNA sequence of UAU.
What is ATA?
200
The time in a cell's life cycle that the DNA is replicated.
What is interphase?
200
two lipid layers with proteins floating in it
What is a plasma membrane?
200
a membrane network studded with ribosomes that makes proteins and folds them into their 3 dimensional shapes
What is the rough endoplasmic reticulum?
300
The membrane transport system that is passive, uses kinetic energy to move a substance down its concentration gradient.
What is diffusion?
300
In this phase of protein synthesis, the language of nucleic acids is "translated" into the language of proteins (amino acid sequence).
What is the translation phase?
300
The coiled form of the DNA-containing nuclear material.
What are chromosomes?
300
microtubules, intermediate filaments, and microfilaments
What are parts of the cytoskeleton?
300
membrane "bags" containing powerful digestive enzymes capable of digesting worn-out or nonusable cell structures and most foreign substances
What are lysosomes?
400
two examples of bulk transport
What are exocytosis and endocytosis?
400
a three base sequence on DNA specifying a particular amino acid.
What is a triplet?
400
The phase where the nuclear membrane and nucleolus disappear and the spindle fibers form.
What is prophase?
400
tight junctions, desmosomes, and gap junctions
What are three types of membrane junctions?
400
pigment granules, water vacuoles, etc.
What are inclusion bodies?
500
how amino acids and most ions are transported through the plasma membrane.
What is a solute pump?
500
the three forms of RNA
What are messenger RNA, transfer RNA, and ribosomal RNA?
500
This phase is essentially prophase in reverse. the spindle breaks down and disappears, a nuclear membrane forms around each chromatin mass, and nucleoli appear in each of the daughter cells.
What is telophase?
500
three major elements of the cytoplasm
What are cytosol, organelles, and inclusions?
500
assembles and packages materials to be secreted from the cell
