Membrane Transport
This type of transport is the net movement of particles from high concentration to low concentration
simple diffusion
This organelle is considered the cell's genetic control center and contains chromosomes.
nucleus
What is removed and reconnected during post-transcription modification
introns are removed, exons are SPLICED together
Human cells contain ______ chromosomes and are described by this term.
46, diploid
The four primary tissue types in the body.
What are epithelial, connective, nervous, and muscular tissues?
The flow of water through a selectively permeable membrane is called this
osmosis
These structures read messenger RNA and assemble amino acids into proteins.
ribosomes
In RNA, this nitrogenous base replaces thymine.
uracil
The phase of the cell cycle in which DNA is duplicated.
S phase
This epithelial tissue lines alveoli and allows rapid diffusion.
simple squamous epithelium
A cell placed in a hypotonic solution will do this because the solution has a higher water concentration and what will happen to the cell
Absorb water --> lyse
This organelle modifies proteins and packages them into Golgi vesicles.
Golgi Complex
The process that copies instructions from DNA to RNA. Also, name the process that uses that messenger RNA to assemble a protein at the ribosome.
transcription, translation
The stage of mitosis in which sister chromatids separate and move toward opposite poles.
anaphase
The connective tissue found in tendons and ligaments.
dense regular connective tissue
This type of transport moves solutes against their concentration gradient and uses ATP directly. (BE SPECIFIC) + name an example
primary active transport, sodium potassium pump
This organelle synthesizes ATP and contains cristae.
mitochondria
This three-nucleotide sequence on a tRNA molecule base-pairs with a complementary codon on mRNA during translation.
anticodon
An individual's genetic makeup is called this.
genotype
The heart's muscle tissue containing intercalated discs.
cardiac muscle
What transport mechanism allows only HYPER-specific molecules to enter the cell through the plasma membrane from the ECF.
receptor-mediated endocytosis
This organelle carries out autophagy (digestion of worn-out organelle/phagocytized bacteria) and autolysis + which type of cells are they abundant
lysosome, liver cells
To the best of your ability, describe transcription OR translation.

Functions of mitosis? (name at least 3)
– development of individual from one fertilized egg to some 40 trillion cells
- growth of all tissues & organs after birth
- replacement of cells that die
- repair of damaged tissue
This cartilage type is found in intervertebral discs and the pubic symphysis.
fibrocartilage
