Question
Please answer #13. I’m having trouble with it
10. Explain the role of osmosis in controlling the movement of water across the plasma membrane.
Osmosis changes the amount of water that can go through a membrane into a cell.
11. Describe the differences among hypotonic, isotonic, and hypertonic solutions in terms of water
movement.
Hypotonic: less solute; causes cell to draw in more water. Hypertonic: more solute, causes cell to
dehydrate. Isotonic: nothing fun happens
12. Describe carrier-mediated transport.
Transports proteins in membrane carry solutes into or out of cell
13. Compare facilitated diffusion, primary active transport, and secondary active transport.
14. Describe the structures and functions of the cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, nucleus, nucleoli,
ribosomes, rough and smooth endoplasmic reticula, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, peroxisomes,
mitochondria, and centrioles.
Chapter 4: Genetics & Cellular Function
1. Identify the parts of a nucleic acid & nucleotide
2. Describe the central dogma of biology
3. Name the 5 nitrogenous bases; know the difference between the nitrogenous bases in DNA vs.
RNA
4. Explain the base pairing rules of the nitrogenous bases/nucleotides.
5. Describe the relationship between chromatin and chromosomes
6. Briefly describe what a gene is (with respect to a molecule of DNA)
7. Define genome; know how many chromosomes humans have
Be able to read and explain the genetic code.
9. Describe the processes of transcription and translation.
