A&P (Tissues & Cells, Protein Synthesis, Cellular Division & Transport)

Define the muscular tissue (Tissues & Cells)

muscular of skeleton, beating of heart, movement of food through digestive system.

Describe connective tissues (Tissues & Cells)

Makes up bond, cartilage, and blood. Connects organs together.

Describe nervous tissue (Tissues & Cells)

conducts electrical impulses through ur brain, spinal cord, and nerves.

Describe Epithelial tissue (Tissues & Cells)

Makes up skin, lining of internal pathways, and glands.

Nucleus (Tissues & Cells)

control center, stores genetic information

Endoplasmic Reticulum (Tissues & Cells)

synthesizes proteins and ships them around the cell

Mitochondria (Tissues & Cells)

converts food into ATP

Golgi Apparatus (Tissues & Cells)

transports material around the cell in sacks called vesicles

Lysosomes (Tissues & Cells)

break down waste

Centrioles (Tissues & Cells)

aid in cell division

Vacuoles

store nutrients and water.

Where is genetic information found in the cell? (Tissues & Cells)

46 chromosones

What are the two main processes used to create proteins? (Protein Synthesis)

transcription and translation

What is transcription?

The process of converting the DNA codon into an mRNA message.

Why must cells divide? (Cellular Division & Transport)

The processes of bringing in nutrients and removing waste become inefficient when they grow too large.

What is mitosis? (Cellular Division & Transport)

The division somatic (body) cells, division of the chromosome and cytoplasm.

During mitosis, how many daughter cells does a parent cell produce? Are they identical or different?

parent cell produces 2 IDENTICAL daughter cells.

What is meiosis? (Cellular Division & Transport)

The division of sex cells (gametes)

During meiosis, how many daughter cells does a parent cell produce? Are they identical or different?

parent cell produces 4 DIFFERENT daughter cells.

What is passive transport? (Cellular Division & Transport)

When molecules move naturally from HIGH concentration to LOW concentration, which does NOT require energy (exs: diffusion of substances and osmosis)

What is facilitated diffusion? (Cellular Division & Transport)

When large molecules are facilitated/helped move across the membrane by channels made of proteins.

What is active transport? (Cellular Division & Transport)

Moves molecules from LOW to HIGH concentration. This DOES require energy because it is the opposite of the natural process.
