lysosomes. |
|
Which organelle contains the nucleolus? |
the nucleus. |
|
A hypotonic solution |
has a lower concentration (number) of solute particles than do the cells in the solution. |
|
Apoptosis is also known as |
programmed cell death. |
|
The two types of genes that, when abnormal, cause cancer are |
tumor suppressors and oncogenes. |
|
Which of the following correctly describes the structural organization of the cell membrane? |
A bilayer of phospholipid molecules in which protein molecules are embedded and can move |
|
The sequence of organelles and cell parts that a secretion encounters is |
nucleus, ER, Golgi apparatus, vesicles, cell membrane. |
|
In a cell, lipids are synthesized in the |
smooth ER. |
|
Stem cells taken from a person to be used to treat a disease in that same person come from |
the body and unaltered or from reprogrammed cells. |
|
An isotonic solution |
has the same osmotic pressure as the cells in the solution. |
|
Chromosomes duplicate during |
interphase |
|
Cellular adhesion molecules are |
peripheral proteins. |
|
Cytoskeletal structures that are not found in all cell types are |
intermediate filaments. |
|
Which of the following does not influence the rate of diffusion? |
The amount of energy available for transport molecules |
|
If the concentration of glucose in the water outside of a cell is higher than the concentration inside, |
water will leave the cell by osmosis. |
|
A selectively permeable membrane |
allows some substances to pass through and excludes others. |
|
For which of the following organelles is the structure and function correctly described? |
Endoplasmic reticulum-network of interconnected membranes forming sacs and canals; packages protein molecules for secretion |
|
Adrenoleukodystrophy is caused by deficiency of a protein in the outer membrane of |
peroxisomes. |
|
Centromeres of replicated chromosomes separate during mitotic |
anaphase. |
|
Filtration is the movement of molecules through a membrane |
by hydrostatic pressure that is greater on one side of the membrane than on the other. |
|
Molecules bind to receptor sites and are enclosed in vesicles in the process of |
receptor-mediated endocytosis. |
|
Vesicles are formed from |
cell membrane. |
|
A hypertonic solution |
has a greater concentration (number) of solute particles than do the cells in the solution. |
|
The organelle where energy is captured and stored in the chemical bonds of ATP is a |
mitochondrion. |
|
The main function of cristae is to |
increase the surface area for chemical reactions. |
|
The structures in the nucleus that serve as a "mitotic clock" are |
telomeres |
|
What characteristic do simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion share? |
Both move a substance from a region of higher concentration to one of lower concentration without cellular energy. |
|
The cell membrane |
all answer choices are correct |
|
The relationship of osmotic pressure and the number of solute particles in a solution is the |
greater the number of solute particles, the greater the osmotic pressure. |
|
In phagocytosis |
a cell membrane engulfs solid particles. |
|
The average number of divisions that a human cell cultured in a dish can undergo is |
40-60. |
|
The cellular abnormality that causes cystic fibrosis is |
abnormal chloride channels that trap salt inside cells lining the lung passageways. |
|
As a cell grows, |
its surface area increases to a lesser degree than its volume. |
|
Osmosis is the movement of |
water molecules from a high concentration to a low concentration through a selectively permeable membrane. |
|
