Hypotonic solution
In passive transport, solutes move from an area of _______ concentration to ________ concentration
Low—>High
High—>Low
Osmosis specifically refers to when water molecules move from an area of high water concentration to low water concentration
True
False
Estrogen, a hormone, is secreted by the ovaries and tells the uterus to grow. This is an example of
Direct Intercellular signaling
Contact dependent signaling
Autocrine signaling
Paracrine signaling
Endocrine signaling
Electrical signals are passed from one cardiac cell’s cytoplasm directly to another cardiac cell’s cytoplasm.
This is an example of
Direct intercellular signaling
Contact dependent signaling
Autocrine signaling
Paracrine Signaling
Endocrine signaling
A dying cell displays a protein on its cell surface that is recognized by a macrophage which digests the dying cell. This is an example of
Direct intercellular signaling
Contact dependent signaling
Autocrine signaling
Paracrine signaling
Endocrine signaling
A cancer cell overproduces a growth hormone that binds to its receptors and causes it to divide.
This is an example of
Direct intercellular signaling
Contact dependent signaling
Autocrine signaling
Paracrine signaling
Endocrine signaling
You cut yourself and the cells in the injured area release signals that activate nearby platelets to form a clot.
This is an example of
Direct intercellular signaling
Contact dependent signaling
Autocrine signaling
Paracrine signaling
Endocrine signaling
Which cell structure is responsible for receiving most of the cell’s signals?
Nucleus
Cell wall
Cell membrane
Nuclear membrane
Which of the following are ways that two receptors would be different from each other?
They bind different signals
The are made of different sequences of amino acids
They may be found in different types of cells
They all have a different shape
All of the other answers are true
If there is a mutation in the DNA that codes for a protein cell receptor, which of the following is a possible consequence?
The receptor protein will change shape and my no longer accept the correct signal for the cell
The signal may not be transmitted into the cell
The cell may not respond to the change in the external environment.
All of the options are possible
