100
This is the term for the study of cells.
What is cytology?
100
This lipid, along with glycoproteins, forms the sugary coating and functions in cell communication/identification.
What is glycolipids?
100
These are the monomers of a DNA strand.
What is nucleotide?
100
This cell surface lies on the basement membrane.
What is basal surface?
100
All connective tissues share these 3 basic components.
What is cells, protein fibers, and ground substance?
100
This is the tissue type shown in the picture above (be specific).
What is bone?
200
These are the three common features (major cellular components) of a general cell.
Hint: One of them makes up the barrier of the cell.
What is plasma membrane, cytoplasm, and nucleus?
200
This is an example of a plasma membrane transport protein.
What is (channels, carrier proteins, pumps, symporters, antiporters, aquaporins)
200
This enzyme facilitates the transcription of DNA to form the pre-MRNA strand.
What is RNA polymerase?
200
This is the name for epithelia that is composed of one layer of cube-shaped cells.
What is simple cuboidal epithelium?
200
This is a type of embryonic stem cell in connective tissue.
What is mesenchymal cell?
200
This is the function of the tissue above.
What is to allow for stretching and recoiling?
300
This is another term for the cytosol.
What is intracellular fluid or cytoplasmic matrix?
300
Facilitated diffusion is an example of this type of membrane transport.
Hint: Is it an active process or passive?
What is passive process?
300
This is the phase where spindle fibers move the chromosomes and align them along the equatorial plate of the cell.
What is Metaphase?
300
This type of epithelium is limited to the urinary tract and accommodates the expansion of the organ due to an increase in urine volume.
What is transitional epithelium?
300
This type of tissue is mainly composed of fat cells.
What is adipose tissue?
300
The name of this tissue below.
What is areolar (loose) connective tissue?
400
Three examples of a membrane-bound organelle (can be any)
What is (ER, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, peroxisomes, mitochondria)?
Incorrect answers: ribosomes, centrosome, proteasomes, cytoskeleton
400
Potassium ions diffusing down their concentration gradient will typically move this direction.
Hint: Will they move into the cell or out of the cell?
What is out of the cell?
400
This is the phase in the cell cycle that DNA replication takes place (copying of the DNA strand to form an identical DNA strand).
Hint: It is a phase in interphase
What is the S phase?
400
This type of gland secretes its substances by forming secretory vesicles.
What is merocrine gland?
400
These protein fibers are unbranched, strong and flexible, and resistant to stretching.
What is collagen fibers?
400
This tissue type can be found in the alveoli of the lungs or lining the inner wall of blood vessels.
What is simple squamous epithelium?
500
These are the three general cell functions.
What is (1) maintaining the integrity and shape of the cell, (2) obtain nutrients and form chemical structures, and (3) dispose of wastes?
500
A cell placed in this type of solution will cause the cell to crenate.
Hint: Think--does crenation result from water leaving or entering the cell? What solution would cause this?
What is hypertonic solution?
500
These are the amino acids that would be brought over by a TRNA molecule based on this codon sequence:
AUGACCAGCUAG
What is Methionine, Threonine, Serine
500
This gland (classified by anatomic form) has a secretory portion that forms an expanded sac.

500
This type of connective tissue covers the articular ends of long bones.

500
The name of this tissue shown below.
What is cardiac muscle tissue (myocardium)?
