Cell structure and function
This organelle contains the genetic material and controls most activities of the cell.
What is the nucleus?
This structure surrounds the cell and regulates what enters and leaves it.
This process prduces two genetically identical daughter cells from one parent cell.
What is mitosis?
This tissue covers the body surfaces, lines the body cavities, and forms many glands.
What is epithelial tissue?
This type of epithelial tissue consists of a single layer of flat cells that are specialized for diffusion and filtration.
This organelle is responsible for producing ATP, the cell's usable energy
What are the mitochondria?
The movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration is called this.
What is diffusion?
The process by which a cell breaks down glucose to release usable energy is called this.
What is cellular respiration?
This tissue type provides support, protections, and connects other tissues.
What is connective tissue?
This connective tissue stores energy, cushion organs, and provides insulation.
What is adipose tissue?
This organelle assembles proteins from amino acids.
What are ribosomes?
This type of transport requires cellular energy, usually in the form of ATP.
What is active transport?
This process allows a cell to take in large particles by surrounding them with its plasma membrane.
What is phagocytosis?
This tissue is specialized for transmitting electrical signals throughout the body.
What is nervous tissue?
This tissue contains cells called chondrocytes and provides flexible support in structures such as the external ear.
What is elastic cartilage?
This organelle modifies, sorts, and packages proteins for transport.
What is the Golgi apparatus?
A red blood cell is placed in a solution with a higher solute concentration than the cell. What will happen to the cell?
What is that the cell will lose water and shrink?
During this stage of mitosis, chromosomes line up across the middle of the cell.
What is metaphase?
This tissue type is responsible for producing movement by contracting.
What is muscle tissue?
What is skeletal muscle tissue?
A cell contains many ribosomes attached to a membrane network. Which organelle is primarily responsible for producing proteins that will be secreted or inserted into membranes.
What is the rough endoplasmic reticulum?
A cell is placed in a solution with a lower solute concentration than its cytoplasm. Predict what will happen and why?
What is that water will move into the cell by osmosis, potentially causing it to swell and burst?
A cell has accumulated severe DNA damage that cannot be repaired. What programmed process may cause the cell to self-destruct?
What is apoptosis?
Identify the four (4) primary tissue types found in the human body.
What are epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous tissue?
A patient suffers a deep cut that damages the skin and underlying connective tissue. Which two primary tissue types are directly affected, and what major function of each tissue would be disrupted?
What are epithelial tissue, which provides protection and forms the skin’s surface, and connective tissue, which provides support, strength, and structural connections?
