What's inside the cell?
100

Systemic manifestations of cellular injury 

What is...

Fever, leukocytosis, increased heart rate, pain, and serum elevations of enzymes in the plasma.

100

Cells capable of division

What is...

mature cells and maturation takes place during interphase (growth phase)

100

Two important second-messenger pathways

What is...

cAMP and Ca ++ 



100

Functions of the plasma membrane 

What is...

Cell-to-cell recognition, cell enclosure, controls movement of substances, cellular mobility and shape, selective transport system, influences metabolic pathways.


100

The synthesis of protein and cellular stress

What is...

The endoplasmic reticulum

200

An example of chemical injury in cellular biology 

What is...

Medication miscalculations

200

The four phases of the cell cycle

What is...

1. The G1 phase (gap)

2. The S phase (DNA Synthesis)

3. The G2 phase (RNA and protein synthesis)

4. The M phase (mitosis occurs)

Bonus: The M phase (mitosis) involves four stages: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.

200

The signals transduction

What is...

Signals or instructions from extracellular chemical messengers that are conveyed to the cell’s interior for execution.

200

The composition of the lipids 

What is...

Hydrophilic heads and hydrophobic tails 

200

The secretory vesicles directing traffic and releasing substances 

What is...

The Golgi complex

300

The four basic types of tissues 

What is...

1. Muscle

2. Neural

3. Epithelial

4. Connective 

300

Cellular reproduction has two requirements

What is...

Mitosis (nuclear division) and cytokinesis (cytoplasmic division).

300

Modes of intercellular signaling

What is...

Contact-dependent, paracrine, hormonal, neurohormonal, and neurotransmitter. 



300

The plasma membrane composition

What is...

Lipids and protein 


300

Saclike structures containing digestive enzymes

What is...

Lysosomes

400

The functions of epithelial and connective tissues

What is... 

Protection, absorption, secretion, and excretion (Epithelial Tissue)

Framework for forming organs, binding, supporting, and storing excess nutrients (Connective Tissue)

400

Two classes of regulatory molecules 

What is...

Cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdks) and Cyclins. Determines cell cycle progression.

400

Signal transduction pathways 

What is...

Physically transferring the signal around the cell, amplifying the signal, distributing the signal, and modulating the signal. 

400

The function of protein in the plasma membrane

What is...

1. Receptors

2. Transporters

3. Enzymes

4. Surface markers

5. Adhesion molecules

6. Catalysts

400

Generates most of the cell's ATP


What is...

Mitochondria 

500

The functions of muscle and neural tissues

What is...

Contractile tissue, enabling both voluntary and involuntary movement (Muscle Tissue)

Receive and transmit electrical impulses very rapidly across junctions called synapses (Neural Tissue)

500

Growth factors play a role in cellular reproduction 

What is...

Cytokines. Stimulates connective tissue growth by promoting protein synthesis




500

Three main ways of cellular communication 

What is...

1. They display plasma membrane–bound signaling molecules (receptors) that affect the cell itself and other cells in direct physical contact

2. They activate receptor proteins inside the target cell, and the signal molecule has to enter the cell to bind to them 

3.They form protein channels (gap junctions) that directly coordinate the activities of adjacent cells. 



500

The capacity to recognize and bind smaller molecules called ligands. 



What is...

Cellular receptors

500

Lysosomes have four pathways of degradation

What is...

1. Endocytosis

2. Phagocytosis

3. Macropinocytosis  

4. Autophagy
