Exam 3: Cells

What is meant by specific base pairing?

Which structure has ribosomes attached to it and helps transport proteins throughout the cell?

Cellular respiration occurs in which organelle?

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

MATCHING Match each organelle or cell structure to its corresponding function or description. -organelle named as such because of the ribosomes attached to it

The end product of the process of transcription is a messenger RNA molecule.

Genes regulate cellular activity by determining what type of proteins will be made.

MATCHING Match each organelle or cell structure to its corresponding function or description. -organelles that are called the "protein factories" of the cell

During which phase of mitosis do two nuclei appear and the chromosomes become less distinct?

One function of the cell membrane is to identify the cell as belonging to a particular individual.

Which organelle has a subunit made of RNA?

Both hyperplasia and hypertrophy can cause an increase in the size of a tissue or organ.

Both phospholipids and cholesterol are important parts of the cell membrane.

Both mitochondria and ribosomes contain nucleic acids.

The sodium-potassium pump is an example of an active transport mechanism.

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

A gene and a nucleotide are the same thing.

Define or explain the following terms: hypertrophy,atrophy,hyperplasia,neoplasm,anaplasia,benign neoplasm,and malignant neoplasm.

During which phase of mitosis do the chromosomes move to opposite sides of the cell?

Osmosis and dialysis are both specialized examples of diffusion.
