Neuron Function
100

This is the main function of ATP

What is an energy source?

100

This organelle allows plant cells to perform photosynthesis

what is chloroplast?

100

This type of transport requires ATP

what is active transport?

100
This type of transport does NOT require ATP
What is passive transport?
100
Part of the neuron that receives incoming signals

What are dendrites?

200

Starch is an example of this.

What is a carbohydrate?


200

These structures are responsible for protein synthesis

What are ribosomes?

200

The literal meaning is "fat-fearing"

What is lipophobic?

200

Facilitated diffusion moves substances in this direction relative to their concentration gradient

What is high to low?
200

This catalyzes (speeds up) an action potential

What is myelin?

300
These are the building blocks of biomolecules.

What are monomers?

300

This organelle modifies, sorts, and packages proteins before they are transported.

What is the golgi apparatus?

300

Some molecules, such as proteins, generally cannot pass directly through the phospholipid bilayer because of this characteristic.

What is large sizze?

300
Aquaporins are a special type of this structure

What are channel proteins?

300

When repolarization happens, this ion moves out of the neuron

K+

400
This element can form four covalent bonds, creating chains, branches, rings, and more.

What is carbon?

400

Mitochondria and chloroplasts contain their own versions of these structures, similar to prokaryotic cells.

What are ribosomes?

400

An ion such as Nacannot easily cross the membrane's hydrophobic interior because of this characteristic

what is a charge?

400

Side A has a low solute concentration, and Side B has a high solute concentration. Water can cross the membrane, which direction will it move?

What is from Side A towards Side B?

400

Neurotransmitters cross this space to get from the presynaptic neuron to the postsynaptic neuron

What is the synaptic cleft?

500

This is how enzymes catalyze reactions.

What is lowering the activation energy required?

500
This organelle would be associated with digesting cellular waste instead of storing it.


What is the lysosome?

500

Two molecules of the same size want to cross the phospholipid bilayer: molecule A is nonpolar, while molecule B is charged. Which will cross directly?

What is Molecule A?
500

A neuron has a high concentration of an ion inside the cell compared to outside. An ion channel opens. Assuming concentration is the only factor considered, which direction will the ion start to move?

What is from inside to outside/down the concentration gradient?

500

A toxin blocks voltage-gated Nachannels, and this is the result (likeliness of an action potential)

an AP is less likely to occur
