Exam 3: Cells

What is the process by which substances scatter themselves evenly throughout an available space?

The process of transcription occurs in the nucleus.

If one side of a DNA molecule is adenine-guanine-cytosine-cytosine, the opposite side would be thymine-cytosine-guanine-cytosine.

Atrophy is a characteristic of many neoplasms.

Cystic fibrosis is a disease that results from a failure of a passive transport mechanism in the cell membrane.

Chromatin becomes "organized" during which phase of mitosis?

Filtration requires different levels of hydrostatic pressure across a membrane.

Chromatids form during prophase.

The process of translation occurs in the nucleus.

Atrophy can be defined as a decrease in the size of individual cells.

If the DNA code is adenine-thymine-cytosine, the messenger RNA code would be thymine-adenine-guanine.

Match each organelle or cell structure to its corresponding function or description. -Organelles that are called the "digestive bags" of the cell

Match each organelle or cell structure to its corresponding function or description. -A small structure in the nucleus that programs the formation of ribosomes

If one side of a DNA molecule is thymine-cytosine-guanine-adenine, what would the nucleotides on the other side be?

If the messenger RNA code is uracil-adenine-guanine, the transfer RNA code would be adenine-uracil-cytosine.

Which are small fingerlike projections on the plasma membrane that increase the cell's ability to absorb substances?

During telophase, two nuclei appear and the chromosomes become less distinct.

Match each organelle or cell structure to its corresponding function or description. -Cell structure that controls every organelle in the cytoplasm and contains chromatin

During which phase of mitosis does a cleavage furrow begin to appear?

The "protein factory" is another name for the ribosomes.
