Sloan Thompson Questions with Answers
active transport - correct answers>>>transport process in which solutes move form an area of lesser to
greater concentration; requires energy in the form of ATP
cilia - correct answers>>>hair-like processes on the surface of the cell that propel materials across the
surface
Deoxyribonucleic (DNA) - correct answers>>>large polymer of a nucleotide that carries the genetic
information of a cell
diffusion - correct answers>>>a passive transport mechanism that involves the movement of particles
from an area of higher to lower concentration
endocytosis - correct answers>>>form of vesicular transport that brings substances into the cell
exocytosis - correct answers>>>from of vesicular transport that releases substances out side of the cell
Facilitated diffusion - correct answers>>>Transport process in which water and dissolved particles are
forced across a membrane from an are of higher to lower pressure
golgi apparatus - correct answers>>>post office of the cell
prepares proteins and packages them for export to other parts of the body
hydrostatic pressure - correct answers>>>pressure exerted by water
hypertonic - correct answers>>>pertain to a solution that contains a higher concentration of solutes
compared to the fluid within the cell
hypotonic - correct answers>>>pertain to a solution that contains a lower concentration of solutes
compared to the fluid within the cell
, isotonic - correct answers>>>pertain to a solution in which the concentration of solutes in the solution is
the same as the concentration of solutes in the cell
microvilli - correct answers>>>bladder intestines
fold of a cell membrane that greatly increase the surface area of a cell to facilitate absorption
mitochondria - correct answers>>>power plant
organelle that coverts organic compounds into ATP
mitosis - correct answers>>>type of cell division in which the mother cell splits in to two identical
daughter cells
nucleus - correct answers>>>the most important part of the cell
the cells control center that contains a complete set of 46 chromosomes
organelles - correct answers>>>gives the cell its shape
the structures within the cell that perform specific task in the cellular metabolism
osmosis - correct answers>>>a passive transport mechanism involving the diffusion of water from an
area of greater concentration of eater to an area of lesser concentration of water
osmotic pressure - correct answers>>>water pressure that developed in a solution as a result of osmosis
phagocytosis - correct answers>>>process in which fluids and dissolved particles are trapped in the
plasma membrane and brought into the cell
plasma membrane - correct answers>>>Fence keeping things in
the external boundary of the cell
polymer - correct answers>>>large molecules consisting of many smaller molecules joined in sequence
