White blood cells engulf (eat) pathogens (bacteria) through this process.

What is endocytosis?  (phagocytosis)

100
These are the three stages of cell communication.
What are reception, transduction, and response?
100
DNA is copied into two sister cromotids in this phase.
What is the S-Phase?
100
These are the two most abundant kinds of molecules in the fluid mosaic model.
What are phospholipids and proteins?
100
Chromosomes are composed of two sister chromatids through these phases of the cell cycle.
What is from G2 of interphase through metaphase of mitosis?
200

In animal cells, enzymes are packaged in these organelles to prevent general destruction of cellular components.

What are lysosomes?

200
This is what we call a molecule that binds to another, usually much larger, receiving molecule.
What is a ligand.
200
These are the three stages in chronological order of interphase.
What are G1, S, and G2?
200
These are two kinds of molecules that help keep the membrane fluid.
What are cholesterol and unsaturated phospholipids.
200
Starting with a fertilized egg (zygote), a series of six cell divisions would produce an early embryo with this many cells.
What are 64 cells?
300
The liver is involved in detoxification of many poisons and drugs. Therefore, this kind of organelle must be abundant in liver cells.
What is the smooth endoplasmic reticulum?
300
This is a molecule that attaches to several other relay proteins in order to make transduction much more efficient.
What is a scaffolding protein?
300
This is the shortest phase of mitosis.
What is anaphase?
300
These are proteins that are imbedded through the membrane.
What are integral proteins?
300
If there are 92 chromatids in a cell, there are this many centromeres.
What is 46?
400
Gap junctions in animal cells are most similar in function to these structures in plant cells.
What are plasmodesmata?
400
These receptors are thought to have evolved early because of their similarity in structure and function across a variety of modern organisms.
What are G-Protein Receptors?
400
Nerve cells and skeletal muscle cells spend their lives in this phase.
What is the G-o Phase?
400
Short chains of sugars that are linked to proteins (glycoproteins) and lipids (glycolipids) on the exterior side of the cell serve this main function.
What is cell-to-cell recognition?
400
A cell containing 54 chromatids at metaphase of mitosis would, at its completion, produce two nuclei each containing this many chromosomes.
What is 27?
500
A cell containing ribosomes, DNA, a plasma membrane and mitochondria are most likely these kinds of organisms.
What are eukaryotes?
500
Ions can travel directly from the cytoplasm of one animal cell to the cytoplasm of an adjacent cell through these.
What are gap junctions?
500
This is the phase that usually follows mitosis, but before the cell enters G1.
What is cytokinesis?
500
Lipid-soluble signal molecules, such as testosterone, bind to receptors that are located here.
What is inside the cell, not in the plasma membrane?
500
This is what DNA does in Prophase of mitosis to allow the chromosomes to then move without becoming entangled and breaking.
Why do chromosomes coil up during mitosis?
