Question 3

Match the following:
-Type of tissue that supports, protects, and binds tissues together

Accepted Answer

Connective tissue is the type of tissue that supports, protects, and binds tissues together. Examples of connective tissue include bone, cartilage, and blood. Epithelial tissue covers surfaces and lines cavities, nervous tissue transmits signals, and muscle tissue allows for movement.

Question 4

Describe the structural organization of the nucleus of a cell.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Describe the structural organization of the nucleus...

Question 5

Discuss the four stages of mitosis.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Discuss the four stages of mitosis....

Question 6

Match the following:
-Type of tissue that is found in the brain and spinal cord

Accepted Answer

Nervous tissue is found in the brain and spinal cord which act as the central nervous system. Epithelial tissue is found covering the surface of organs and lining of body cavities. Connective tissue is responsible for binding and supporting other tissues and organs. Muscle tissue is responsible for movement and contraction.

Question 7

Explain what is meant by selective permeability in reference to the plasma membrane.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Explain what is meant by selective permeability...

Question 8

Match the following:
-Type of tissue that can be simple or stratified

Accepted Answer

Epithelial tissue can be simple (single layer of cells) or stratified (multiple layers of cells). Connective tissue, nervous tissue, and muscle tissue do not have this characteristic.

Question 9

Match the following:
-Type of tissue that has an apical surface and a basement membrane

Accepted Answer

Epithelial tissue is characterized by having an apical surface (the free surface facing the outside or inside of a body cavity) and a basement membrane (a thin layer of extracellular matrix that anchors the epithelium to underlying tissues). Connective tissue, nervous tissue, and muscle tissue do not have this specific arrangement.

Question 10

List the three different types of RNA and identify their functions.

Accepted Answer

The answer of List the three different types of RNA...

Question 11

Match the following:
-Type of tissue that is common in glands and their ducts

Accepted Answer

Epithelial tissue is responsible for lining and covering surfaces in the body, including glands and their ducts.

Question 12

Match the following:
-Type of tissue that consists of living cells surrounded by an extracellular matrix

Accepted Answer

Connective tissue is a type of tissue that consists of living cells surrounded by an extracellular matrix. Epithelial tissue consists of closely packed cells that form a protective barrier. Nervous tissue consists of neurons and support cells that transmit electrical signals throughout the body. Muscle tissue is composed of cells that can contract and generate force.

Question 13

Some chemotherapy drugs used to treat cancer, such as vincristine, interfere with the creation of mitotic spindle fibers of a cell. Explain how this drug affects mitosis.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Some chemotherapy drugs used to treat cancer,...

Question 14

Match the following:
-Type of tissue that can be described as voluntary or involuntary

Accepted Answer

Muscle tissue can be voluntary or involuntary, while epithelial, connective, and nervous tissue are not classified based on voluntary or involuntary control.

Question 15

Explain the difference between filtration and osmosis.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Explain the difference between filtration and osmosis....

Question 16

Match the following:
-Type of tissue that is specialized to contract and produce movement

Accepted Answer

Muscle tissue is specialized to contract and produce movement. Epithelial tissue covers the body's surfaces and lines internal organs, connective tissue provides support and connects or separates different types of tissues, and nervous tissue transmits and processes signals in the body.

Question 17

Match the following:
-Type of tissue that can be classified as loose or dense

Accepted Answer

Connective tissue can be classified as either loose or dense depending on the arrangement and density of fibers within it. Epithelial tissue consists of tightly packed cells that line the surfaces of organs and body cavities. Nervous tissue is specialized for communication and consists of neurons and support cells. Muscle tissue is responsible for movement and can be classified as skeletal, smooth, or cardiac.

Question 18

Match the following:
-Type of tissue whose two functional characteristics are irritability and conductivity

Accepted Answer

Nervous tissue is the type of tissue that possesses the functional characteristics of irritability and conductivity. Nervous tissue is specialized for the conduction of electrical impulses that allow for the fast transmission of information throughout the body.

Question 19

Drinking too much water over a short period of time can disrupt the electrolyte balance in the body (called water intoxication or hypotonic hydration). Explain how cells respond to an environment with less solutes than their intracellular fluid.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Drinking too much water over a short...

Question 20

Match the following:
-Type of tissue that contains collagen, elastic, or reticular fibers

Accepted Answer

Connective tissue is the type of tissue that contains collagen, elastic, or reticular fibers. Epithelial tissue covers the body surface and lines the internal organs, nervous tissue contains neurons and glial cells, and muscle tissue is responsible for movement.
