How many "letters" of an RNA molecule, in sequence, does it take to provide the code for a single amino acid?

3

How does temperature affect the diffusion rate, and why?

Higher temperatures speed up diffusion because molecules have more kinetic energy at higher temperatures

. Which of the following is not made out of RNA? a.)the carriers that shuffle amino acids to a growing polypeptide strand b.) the ribosome c.)the messenger molecule that provides the code for protein synthesis d.) the intron

the ribosome

Which of the following sequences on a DNA molecule would be complementary to GCTTATAT? TAGGCGCG ATCCGCGC CGAATATA TGCCTCTC

CGAATATA

A mutation in the gene for a cyclin protein might result in which of the following? a.) a cell with additional genetic material than normal b.) cancer c.) a cell with less genetic material than normal d.) any of the above

D any of the above

Which of the following is not a difference between DNA and RNA? a.) DNA contains thymine whereas RNA contains uracil b.) DNA contains deoxyribose and RNA contains ribose c.) DNA contains alternating sugar-phosphate molecules whereas RNA does not contain sugars D.) RNA is single stranded and DNA is double stranded

DNA contains alternating sugar-phosphate molecules whereas RNA does not contain sugars

18. Place the following structures in order from least to most complex organization: chromatin, nucleosome, DNA, chromosome A.) DNA, nucleosome, chromatin, chromosome B.) nucleosome, DNA, chromosome, chromatin C.) DNA, chromatin, nucleosome, chromosome D.) nucleosome, chromatin, DNA, chromosome

Integral Proteins

During what phase of the cell cycle is the DNA replicated?

S

Which of the following is a feature common to all three components of the cytoskeleton? They all serve to scaffold the organelles within the cell. They are all characterized by roughly the same diameter. They are all polymers of protein subunits. They all help the cell resist compression and tension.

Ion pumps and phagocytosis are both examples of ________.

active transport

DNA replication proceeds simultaneously at several sites on the same molecule. What separates the base pair at the start of DNA replication?

an enzyme

Which of the following is part of the elongation step of DNA synthesis? a.) pulling apart the two DNA strands b.) attaching complementary nucleotides to the template strand c.) untwisting the DNA helix d.) none of the above

attaching complementary nucleotides to the template strand

What multipotent stem cells from children sometimes banked by parents?

cells from the umbilical cord and from baby teeth

. The diffusion of substances within a solution tends to move those substances ________ their ________ gradient.

down, concentration

Which type of stem cell gives rise to red and white blood cells?

hematopoietic

What is the primary role of the endomembrane system?

is a group of membranes and organelles in eukaryotic cells that works together to modify, package, and transport lipids and proteins. which includes the rough and smooth ER and the Golgi body as well as lysosomes and vesicles.
