Unit 3 Exam
Learning Targets
Ch 3
1. Sketch a typical cell membrane, label the components, name a term that describes the permeability of this
membrane, and describe the factors that determine whether a substance/ particle will pass through the cell
membrane.
2. Distinguish between passive and active transport processes and make a quick list comparing the eight
processes discussed in terms of energy requirement, direction of concentration gradient, give an example in
humans, and if applicable, the significance of each
3. Describe how gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide) enter and leave human cells.
4. Distinguish between a hypertonic, isotonic, and hypotonic solution and compare the consequences of a human
cell being placed in each.
5. Distinguish between pinocytosis, phagocytosis, and receptor-mediated endocytosis.
6. Describe the typical fate of a vesicle brought into a human cell by phagocytosis.
7. Identify each of a "generalized" human cell's components on a diagram or model.
8. List a function(s) for each cellular component and/or organelle.
9. Describe the structure of each cellular organelle.
Ch 4
10. What is the mechanism by which most enzymes function (i.e. how do they react with their substrate and
cofactor/coenzyme), and how are most enzymes named?
11. Name the three components of ATP and describe its function in living cells. Write a simple chemical equation
showing the reversible action of ATP/ADP
12. Construct a molecule of DNA. Be sure to label parts fully (if using abbreviations, make sure to provide a key)
and describe what will happen to this molecule during replication.
13. Describe the function of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA).
14. Explain why protein synthesis is so ultimately important in living things.
15. Define the term gene, and give the approximate number of genes that compose the human genome.
16. Distinguish ribonucleic acid (RNA) from deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), in terms of structural components,
where each is located in a human cell, and the function of each.
17. Name the two major steps involved in protein synthesis, and compare and contrast them in terms of a general
description, where they occur in the cell, the molecules (including enzyme names) involved in each step, and the
overall result.
18. Describe the role of messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA) and ribosomal RNA (rRNA) in protein
synthesis.
19. Explain how amino acids are joined to form a protein.
20. Given a DNA sequence (gene) and a genetic code chart, determine the peptide (protein) which will result.
21. Describe the steps involved in DNA replication, name the location in the cell where DNA replicates, name the
enzyme required for DNA replication, and explain the significance of the process.
22. Describe what is meant by "semi-conservative" replication.
23. Define the term mutation, and explain its significance in protein synthesis and disease.
