Pre-Lab Questions ”1. What are chromosomes made of?” Chromosomes are made up of proteins and DNA that are organized into genes. There are normally 23 pairs of chromosomes in each cell. ”2. Compare and contrast mitosis and meiosis. ” Mitosis:happens in 4 stages plus interphase in somatic cells. Produces 2 diploid daughter cells and the chromosome number stays the same. Meiosis:happens in 8 stages plus interphase in germ cells. Produces 4 haploid daughter cells and the chromosome i...

”1. Compare and contrast diffusion and osmosis.” Diffusion occurs when molecules move from a higher concentration to a lower concentration until a stable state is established. The molecules are free to circulate until they reach a state of equilibrium. While in Osmosis, molecule movement isn't always free but rather selective due to the presence of a semipermeable membrane that allows only the most effective solvent molecules to pass through. ”2. What is the water potential of an op...

”1. What is the primary function of the nervous system?” To gather and process sensory signals from exernal environments and internal input from our body. ”2. Why does the cerebral cortex contain so many folds? ” To increase it’s surface area. ”3. What is a nerve impulse? ” A signale sent from the axon terminal down nerve fibers. It has a wave of electrical deplorzation that reverse potential difference across neve cell membranes. ”4. What are Schwann cells and what do th...

“1. Identify the major similarities and differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. “ Similarities: Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells contain chromosomes, ribosomes, and vacuoles. Differences:Eukaryotic cells contain a nucleus. Eukaryotic cells are typically in animals and prokaryotic cells are typically plants and bacteria. “2. Where is the DNA housed in a prokaryotic cell? Where is it housed in a eukaryotic cell? “ In a prokaryotic cell DNA is housed within the cy...

”1. What is a tissue?” A tissue is a subcategory of specialized cells and their matrix that work together and make up different organs and carry out a specific function.” 2. What is the function of epithelial tissue? ” This tissue provides a barrier between the organs it covers and the external environment” 3.

What is the function of the endocrine system?” Is a network of glands that produce and release hormones that help control many important functions. ”2. Research two types of hormones and describe the mode of action for each. ” Adrenaline is secreated by the adrenal glands, its purpose is to increase blood pressure, heart rate, and metabolism in reaction to stress. Estrogen is released by the ovaries, its purpose is to regulate menstrual cycle, maintain pregnancy and develop female se...
