A DNA molecule is normally made up of how many strands? correct answer 2
antiparallel
,A red blood cell placed in an hypotonic solution is expected to undergo what?
correct answer Hemolysis
Acidosis correct answer Blood pH below 7.0; leads to coma and death
Active transport correct answer Against concentration gradient; Requires ATP
Adipose tissue correct answer contains adipocytes (fat cells), specialized for lipid
storage, does not have an extensive extracellular matrix
Alkalosis correct answer Blood pH increase to 7.8; leads to tetany and death
An effector correct answer Receives the signal from the control center: carries out
the response

constructs smaller molecules to large molecules
Anaphase correct answer Sister chromatids split; become independent
chromosomes, Pulled by the microtubules toward the pole region, Spindle
elongates, pushing the poles farther apart
Anaphase I correct answer Homologous chrmosomes move to the oppisite poles
of the cell.
, Anaphase II correct answer Centromeres divides. chromatids move to the
opposite poles of the cells.
Arteriovenous Shunt correct answer Precapillary Sphincter contracts, blood
moves arteriole into venule
Artheriosclerosis correct answer Hardening & Thickening of arteries due to
chronic hypertension
Attenuated correct answer A virus in a vaccine that has been killed or cannot
infect a cell
B Lymphocytes correct answer antibody mediated immunity
Base-pair substitution correct answer An incorrect nucleotide is paired with an
exposed base during DNA replication; may be repaired
Basophils correct answer Small percentage of WBC's, contains a U-shaped or
lobed nucleus, release histamine, heparin, & serotonin related to allergic
reactions
Cardiac muscle correct answer striated; cardiac wall; special cellular junctions;
involuntary
Cardiovascular Organ System correct answer transporting fluids and oxygen
