Trypanosoma brucei is the agent that causes the disease African sleeping sickness. Observe a cell of this organism at the tip of the arrow in the photo of a blood smear below. Is Trypanosoma brucei made up of a prokaryotic or a eukaryotic cell? Identify feature(s) you observe in this cell to support your choice.
The cell is a eukaryotic cell because there is a dark purple stained area within the cell, this is a nucleus and only eukaryotic cells have nucleuses.

DNA and RNA are both nucleic acids. List 3 differences between DNA and RNA. Be specific.
DNA contains the nucleotide bases A, T, C, G, whereas instead of T RNA contains U. DNA is a double helix whereas RNA is single stranded. DNA is the form that genetic material is found in during cell division but most of the time genetic material is found as RNA.
Part of the cytoskeleton. Hollow tubes. Act as tracks along which organelles and vesicles are transported. Make up cilia and flagella.
microtubules
Breaks down glucose or other organic molecules and uses that energy to form ATP from ADP and Phosphate.
mitochondria
Detoxifies toxins and drugs. Synthesizes phospholipids.

There are times when ships wreck at sea. Life boats are supplied with fresh water. If the stranded passengers run out of water, they may be tempted to start drinking sea water; it’s all around them. However, they should think about that choice. Seawater is hypertonic to our cells. Seawater contains approximately 3.5% salt whereas our cells contain 0.9%. Once the salt enters into their blood; a. What would happen to the size of the cells? Why would this happen?; b. What cell transport process would be occurring to the cells of the desperate shipwrecked passengers?
Once salt enters the blood, the hypertonicity of the solution would cause water to diffuse out of the red blood cells in order to try to reach an isotonic state. This action would result in crenation of the red blood cells. The cells of the shipwrecked passengers would be performing osmosis because water is crossing the plasma membrane and moving from low concentrations of solutes to high concentration of solutes.
________ glands secrete their product into cavities or onto the body surface. they frequently have ducts
exocrine
________ glands secrete their product directly into the blood stream
endocrine
what would be the complete name of this tissue
stratified squamous epithelium
Answer the following questions about the features of muscle tissue. Your answer for each questions will be either smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, skeletal muscle, two of the muscle tissues or all three. If the answer is two of the muscle tissues, state the 2 specifically. Write the letter of the question followed by your answer.; A. Which is/are Striated?; B. Which is/are Voluntary?; C. Which is/are Involuntary?; D. Which cells are tapered?; E. Which is the longest of the three?
A. Cardiac and Skeletal ;B. Skeletal;C. Smooth and Cardiac ;D. Smooth ;E. Skeletal
Nervous tissue makes up the ________ and ________
neurons and neuroglia; brain and spinal cord
How is epithelial tissue named? What are the two minimum parts to the name? List and describe the options for each of these two parts.
Epithelial tissue is named by shape and layers, they can be either squamous, squished and egg-like, cuboidal, cube shaped, or columnar, shaped long like a column. For layers they can either be simple, which means there is only one layer of cells and they all touch the basement membrane, stratified, they are layered, or psuedostratified, meaning they appear as if they are layered yet all the cells still touch the basement membrane.
list the three layers of the heart wall from outermost to innermost
epicardium or pericardium; myocardium; endocardium
Trace the flow of blood from the left ventricle of the heart on to the systemic circulation – state general names of blood vessels from largest diameter to smallest diameter that carry blood away from the heart to body tissues, then from those tissues back to the heart to the right atrium again. State whether the blood in the chamber or vessels is oxygen-rich or oxygen-poor.
left ventricle - aortic semilunar valve - aorta - arteries - arterioles - capillaries - venules - veins - vena cava - right atrium ; Oxygen rich - left ventricle, aorta, arteries, arterioles; Oxygen poor - venules , veins, vena cava, right atrium
Three mechanisms move blood (against gravity) from the lower parts of the body to the heart. List and briefly describe how each aids in returning blood to the heart from the lower extremities.
pressure from breathing -valves to prevent back flow within the veins -contraction of skeletal muscle
There are three categories of functions of blood: 1. Transportation System, 2. Defense, and 3. Regulation. List 2 functions in each of these three categories of functions of blood.
1 transportation - moves nutrients to cells - transports oxygen to cells ; 2 defense - protect against foreign antigens - prevent fluid loss ; 3 regulation - pH -temperature
insufficient production of RBCs caused by failure to produce intrinsic factor which makes the absorption of vitamin B12 impossible
pernicious anemia
genetic disease that results in abnormal hemoglobin molecules that stick together to cause RBCs to take on a curved shape.
sickle cell anemia
most common form, lead to inadequate hemoglobin production
iron deficiency anemia
occurs when red blood cell destruction exceeds production that can be caused by defects in membranes of RBCs or transfusion mismatch
hemolytic anemia
what is lymph and where does it come from
Lymph is excess interstitial fluid and it comes from the capillaries, it is lost from the blood during the exchanges made at capillaries and left behind. That is when the lymphatic vessels that lie within capillary bed pick it up to return it to the circulatory system.
