After a cell is pancake shaped in a cell culture dish, the order of events that occurs as a cell walks is?

It is presumed that the peroxisomes evolved in these primitive, proto-eukaryotes to remove oxygen, which was toxic to the primitive cells.

A normal cell is _____ and ____ for growth.

Ribosomes bound to some of the membrane invaginations in the endomembrane theory.

The cytoskeleton gave rise to the nuclear envelope.

What limits how big a cell can be?

DNA in extant prokaryotic cells is circular.

Why did motility improve the fitness of these early cells?

The end of the retraction fiber touching the cell culture plate still contains the cell equivalent of super glue.

The presumed first step in the transition of the primitive, proto-prokaryotic cell into the primitive, proto-eukaryotic cell was the loss of the cell wall.

In order to examine cells which are smaller than can be detected by the human senses what needs to be used?

A cell that is itself an organism must have a minimum of four needs presented in lecture.

Compared to bacteria, which of the cell types below are not responsible for finding food?

In your own multicellular body, different cells in your body have a division of labor between them.

The paramecium swims by way of using a flagella.

A normal cell is anchorage-dependent for growth and mortal.

What limits the paramecium from acquiring more complex functions?

Comparing a single-celled eukaryotic organism with a multicellular organism such as yourself, identify the major difference from the list below.

In cell biology, what can limit the progress of science?

A cell that is anchorage-dependent for growth will also exhibit contact inhibition.

Explain what limits an individual cell from becoming more complex.

The contractile vacuole of the paramecium is possibly an evolutionary precursor of the kidney.

A single-celled eukaryotic organism:

The paramecium discussed in class contained an organelle, the contractile vacuole. This is the presumed precursor of the:

In your own multicellular body, cells with functions have different DNA.

A cancer cell will be anchorage-dependent for growth and immortal.

If something is soluble in water, a shell of hydration forms around it and it is termed:

Active transport uses ATP to move components in parallel with their concentration gradient, that is: from a high concentration to a low concentration.

Facilitated diffusion uses a channel to let components move down their concentration gradient.

A single-pass trans-membrane protein that is an alpha helix can make a channel.

When a vesicle fuses with the plasma membrane, the contents of the lumen of the vesicle are:

The ER is contiguous with the golgi apparatus.

Amino acids can be largely subdivided into groups. What are the two groups?

What are the orphaned organelles orphaned from?

What is the difference between a single-pass transmembrane protein and a 7-pass transmembrane protein?

For a protein to enter the endoplasmic reticulum as part of the endoplasmic reticulum's lumen or part of the endoplasmic reticulum membrane:

We are made up of ____ percent water.

What is the difference between a triglyceride and a phospholipid?

The ER is contiguous with the nuclear envelope.

What are the functions of a membrane?

It's a simple matter (i.e. thermodynamically) for a vesicle to form from the endoplasmic reticulum.

Is cholesterol good or bad to have in biological membranes?

The plasma membrane gets new lipids from:

Consider the geography of cells. Actin filaments are present in the cell's ____ and the microtubules are present in the cell's ____.

Chromosomes are made out of euchromatin.

Where is the histone H1 found?

The diameter of an intermediate filament is 25 nm.

The actin filament system is present in the nucleus.

To get into the nucleus a component has to have the correct signal sequence and pass through a nuclear pore.

Which cytoskeleton filament system lines the inside of the nucleus to protect it?

Cilia and microvilli contain a similar number of parallel actin filaments.

Naked DNA does not exist in nature of parallel actin filaments.

Naked DNA does not exist in Nature but scientists can make naked DNA in a test tube.

What does the nucleosomal core have in it (i.e. the basketball-like structure on the slides)?

Molecular motors use ATP as the energy source to power the molecular motor.

The actin filament system extends outside of the cell.

Heterochromatin does not exist in interphase nuclei.

Many chemotherapy drugs act by arresting the cell in M phase of the cell cycle.

Gap 1 of the cell cycle represents the time when the cell is doing what it is supposed to do as part of its cell type; in other words, that is when a liver cell is doing its function as a liver cell.

List the three categories of cells in the body with regard to the cell cycle:

Cytoplasmic signal transduction controls the checkpoints of the cell cycle.

In your body, not all cells go through the cell cycle.

At these checkpoints, a cyclin works with a cyclin-dependent kinase (i.e., cdk) to regulate the checkpoint.

Cancer can be described as a loss of cell cycle regulation.

The activation of both MPF and MAPK results in _______ _______ (two words) of the cytoplasm during M-phase.

The synthesis/presence of cyclin is what turns on the cdk as the cdk is always present, but it is the cyclin that is synthesized and degraded in cycles.

During mitosis, the cytoplasm of the cell is settled down.

The ________ begins to be destroyed at the metaphase of the cell cycle, causing the chromosomes to begin to _______.

In the time span of 10 years, every cell in your adult body goes through the cell cycle.

Cytokinesis in plant and animal cells takes two forms:

An important checkpoint regulator is at Gap2/M-phase transition. Here cyclin B and Cdk1 activate and form MPF which becomes a ____ _____ (two words) and causes the DNA to condense into ______.

After DNA synthesis (i.e., S-phase), an identical copy of the DNA has been made and this is present in the two chromatids when viewed as the chromosome.
