In this chapter's tools
Lab practical image sets
- Parts of a generalized cell
- Mitosis stages (OpenStax micrographs)
Prediction scenarios
- Level 1 a red blood cell placed in a hypertonic solution
- Level 2 the sodium–potassium pump is poisoned
- Level 2 oxygen supply to a cell is cut off
Pathways
- Protein synthesis: gene to secreted protein
- The secretory pathway: ER to Golgi to exocytosis
- Phases of mitosis
- Stages of cellular respiration (overview)
Comparison tables
- Passive vs active transport
- Simple vs facilitated diffusion vs channels
- Isotonic vs hypotonic vs hypertonic
- Tight junction vs desmosome vs gap junction
- Aerobic vs anaerobic metabolism
