Chapter 4 Biology of the Cell Outline Describe the structure of DNA and the bonds used to hold DNA together Describe the levels of organization of DNA Explain the products and location of replication, transcription, and translation List the three types of mRNA modifications Define codon and describe the functions of codons Explain what organelles a protein (destined to leave the cell) interacts with once it is made Compare and contrast mitosis and meiosis Describe the order and events of the major phases of the cell cycle (interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, and cytokinesis) List the three principles of the cell theory Define proliferation, differentiation, and zygote Describe the function of cellular organelles (nucleus, nucleolus, plasma membrane, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, peroxisomes, mitochondria, ribsomes, centrosome, proteasomes) Explain the function of structures on a cell’s external surface (cilia, flagella, and microvilli) Compare and contrast the major features of passive and active transport processes Compare and contrast three examples of passive transport (simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and osmosis) - identify what is transported, is energy required, and describe the movement in terms of concentration gradients Describe the effects of hypertonic, isotonic, and hypotonic solutions on a cell, including the movement of water and change of cell volume Compare and contrast exocytosis and endocytosis (focus on what is released or brought into the cell)
