There are many histone genes that can make lots of histones to match the production of DNA during S phase.
Frage 8
Frage
What is the process of mitosis?
Antworten
-
Prophase (microtubules disassemble and reassociate at centrioles) -> Metaphase (nuclear envelope breaks down and kinetochores develop and spindle fibres attach to them) -> Anaphase (chromosomes seperate and chromatids are pulled to opposite ends of the cell) -> Telophase (new nuclear envelope forms, condensed chromatin expands and nucleoli reappear).

Antworten
-
Selective opening and closing of ion channels
-
Opening all the ion channels
-
Pumping water out via active transport pumps
Frage 16
Frage
Tonicity only considers which type of solute?
Antworten
-
Non-permeable
-
Permeable
-
Ionising
-
Suspending
Frage 17
Frage
The osmotic pressure is dependent on the total concentration of all solutes.
Frage 18
Frage
The osmotic pressure is the pressure applied to prevent inward flow of water across a semi-permeable membrane.
Frage 19
Frage
With osmolarity problems, the permeable solute will move to concentrations of lower permeable solute. With tonicity problems, water will move to the area with the highest concentration of non-permeable solute.
Frage 20
Frage
A small change in the concentration of organic ions creates a small potential difference across the membrane.
Frage 21
Frage
If K+ leaves the cell, the negative charge created in the cell will attract the positive K+ back into the cell and therefore there is typically no net movement of ions.
Frage 22
Frage
Why is Goldmann's equation more useful than Nernst's?
Antworten
-
Goldmann's equation takes into account all of the organic ions that are involved in the resting membrane potential and also their permeabilities whereas Nernst's only takes into account one type of ion and not the permeability.

Frage 23
Frage
Ions with a greater concentration outside of the cell always have a negative equilibrium potential.
Frage 24
Frage
Ions with a greater concentration inside the cell always have a negative equilibrium potential.
Frage 25
Frage
The RMP of a cell is closest to potassium because potassium is the most permeable ion. RMP is determined by the membranes high permeability to potassium.
Frage 26
Frage

Antworten
-
Lysosomes
-
Peroxisomes
-
Mitochondria
-
Golgi apparatus
Frage 27
Antworten
-
Controlled cell death
-
Uncontrolled cell death
Frage 28
Frage
What is happening in the first stage of apoptosis?
Antworten
-
The cell shrivels
-
The nucleus fragments
-
The plasma membrane breaks down
-
Cytochrome C is released from the mitochondria
-
Apoptotic bodies are produced and macrophages engulf them via phagocytosis
Frage 29
Frage
What is happening in the second stage of apoptosis?
Antworten
-
The cell shrivels
-
The nucleus fragments
-
The plasma membrane breaks down
-
Cytochrome C is released from the mitochondria
-
Apoptotic bodies are produced and macrophages engulf them via phagocytosis
Frage 30
Frage
What is happening in the third stage of apoptosis?
Antworten
-
The cell shrivels
-
The nucleus fragments
-
The plasma membrane breaks down
-
Cytochrome C is released from the mitochondria
-
Apoptotic bodies are produced and macrophages engulf them via phagocytosis
Frage 31
Frage
The ECM are basement membrane are needed for development of cells. Without these factors, the cell has a disorganised structure.
Frage 32
Frage
Why do burns victims not have a good prognosis?
Antworten
-
The basement membrane is sometimes destroyed which contains stem cells. Absence of these stem cells means that cell proliferation cannot take place and thus skin doesn't regrow.
-
The cytoskeleton is sometimes destroyed which contains stem cells. Absence of these stem cells means that cell proliferation cannot take place and thus skin doesn't regrow.
-
The granular layer of epidermis is sometimes destroyed which contains stem cells. Absence of these stem cells means that cell proliferation cannot take place and thus skin doesn't regrow.
Frage 33
Frage
Integrins are heterodimeric receptors that are bound to ECM trigger active intracellular responses that impact on cell proliferation / attachments.
Frage 34
Frage
Various cell factors may tell the cell to do which of the following things?
Antworten
-
Proliferate (Growth factors)
-
Become dormant (Survival factors)
-
Differentiate (Differentiation factors)
-
Undergo apoptosis (Death signal)
-
Necrotise (Necrotic factors)
-
Expand (Expansive factor)
Frage 35

Frage 36
Frage
When growth factors bind to tyrosine kinase receptors, what happens intracellularly?
Frage 37
Frage
Phosphorylation of Tyr residues produces intracellular effects
Frage 38
Frage
Tyrosine phosphorylation is associated with cancer cell death.
Frage 39
Frage
Proteins recognise phosphorylated tyrosine domains. GDP is then substituted for GTP in RAS. Why is the hydrolysis of GTP important?
Frage 40
Frage
Without checkpoints that regulate the cell cycle, such as the role of TGF-b, loss of checkpoints occur and genomic instability and thus cell proliferation occurs.
Frage 41
Frage
Cyclin proteins increase the quantity of Cyclin dependent kinases.
Frage 42
Frage
Growth factors and Integrins result in Cyclin D production which helps to progress the cell through the cell cycle
Frage 43
Frage
pRb is the guardian of S phase.
Frage 44
Frage
The function of CDK inhibitors such as p21 is to inhibit the cell cycle and prevent excessive cell proliferation (e.g. if damaged DNA is detected).
Frage 45
Frage
If a CDK inhibitor is translocated from the cytoplasm to the nucleus, its inhibitory effect is stopped.
Frage 46
Frage
What are triggers for apoptosis to occur?
Frage 47
Frage
Which protein receives information about metabolic disorders and genetic damage within the cell and initiates repair (minor) or apoptosis (major)?
Frage 48
Frage
The intrinsic pathway that initiates apoptosis involves what signal that causes release of cytochrome c?
Frage 49
Frage
BCL-2 can keep Cytochrome C trapped in the mitochondria; prevent apoptosis.
