Metabolic absorption - correct answer All
cells can take in and use nutrients and
other substances from their
surroundings. 1. Cells of intestines and
kidneys are specialized to carry out
absorption. Kidney tubules reabsorb
fluids and synthesize proteins.
Intestinal epithelial cells reabsorb
fluids and synthesize protein energy.1.

question and answet
During cell injury, what is released
that is capable of cellular
autodigestion? - correct answer
Lysosomal enzymes or hydrolases,
causing cellular self-digestion (or
"autodigestion"). Lyso=dissolution;
soma=boby(pg 7 & 64)
Where is the genetic information
contained in the cell ? - correct answer
The nucleus contains the nucleolus, a
small dense structure composed
largely of RNA, most of the cellular
DNA, and the DNA-binding proteins
(the "histones") that regulate its
activity. (pg. 2)

Cell membranes contain which major
chemical components? - correct answer
Lipids & Proteins act as the "molecular
glue" for the structural integrity of the
membrane. (pg 11)
4 phases of the cell cycle - correct answer
The four phases of the cell cycle are
(1) the G1 phase (G = gap), which is
the period between the M phase and
the start of DNA synthesis; (2) the S
phase (S =synthesis), in which DNA is
synthesized in the cell nucleus; (3) the
G2 phase, in which RNA and protein
synthesis occurs, the period between
the completion of DNA synthesis and
the next phase (M); and (4) the M

phase (M = mitosis), which includes
both nuclear and cytoplasmic division.
The M phase (mitosis) involves four
stages: prophase, metaphase,
anaphase, and
telophase. (pg 32)
What allows potassium to diffuse in
and out of cells? - correct answer The NA-
K antiport system (Na moves out, K
moves in) uses the direct energy of
ATP to move these cations. The
transporter protein in an enzyme,
ATPAse, which has a requirement for
Na, K, and Mg ions. The concentration
of ATPase in plasma membranes is
directly related to Na-K transport
