Review Questions & Answers (1/23) 1. Explain the difference between haploid and diploid cells. Tell where in an organism they are found. Tell how they are produced. A haploid cell is a cell that contains one complete set of chromosomes. Gametes(sperm and ova) are haploid cells that are produced by meiosis. Diploid cells contain two complete sets (2n) of chromosomes. Diploid cells reproduce by mitosis making daughter cells that are exact replicas. Some examples are skin‚ blood‚ muscle cells

BSC2011C Final Review Unit 1 Review Ch. 25‚ 22‚ 23‚ 24‚ 26‚ 19‚ 27 Ch. 25 1. Life is metabolism and heredity. Metabolism is the mechanism that creates order and complexity from chaos‚ by acquiring and expending energy. Heredity is the ability of an organism to copy itself and it is broken down into: i. Multiplication‚ ii. Inheritance‚ iii. Variation. 2. DNA codes via RNA for 20 of naturally occurring amino acids. Amino Acids are the building blocks of proteins and bodies. DNA stores and transmits

Compound Microscope Parts A high power or compound microscope achieves higher levels of magnification than a stereo or low power microscope. It is used to view smaller specimens such as cell structures which cannot be seen at lower levels of magnification. Essentially‚ a compound microscope consists of structural and optical components. However‚ within these two basic systems‚ there are some essential components that every microscopist should know and understand. These key microscope parts are illustrated

PHYSIOEX 9‚ ACTIVITY #3 Review Questions ACTIVITY #1 1. Explain why increasing extracellular K+ reduces the net diffusion of K+ out the neuron through the K+ leak channels? 2. Explain why increasing extracellular K+ causes the membrane potential to change to a less negative value. How well did the results compare with your predictions? 3. Explain why a change in extracellular Na+ did not significantly alter the membrane potential in the resting neuron? 4. Discuss the relative permeability

Unit1: Cell functions/ Cell division Cells Cell theory: -All living things are composed of one or more cells. -The cell is the smallest entity that retains the properties of life. -New cells arise only from cell that already exists. Structure of the cell: The outer boundary (plasma membrane) similar to a city wall It is constructed with molecules called lipids (fat and oils) The cell membrane is composed of: -Proteins and Lipids -FUNCTION: to allow molecules into and out of the

Activity 1 1. Size and concentration of the solute 2. It was too large to pass‚ as predicted 3. I predicted that the glucose would diffuse since it is small enough but the albumin is much too large to pass through the membrane. The experiment produced this result. Activity 2 1. Neither way requires ATP but facilitated diffusion requires carrier protein molecules for diffusion to occur. 2. By increasing the number of carriers more glucose can pass at a time increasing the rate‚
