STUDENTS’ ACTIVITIES

Sequence of Events: Transcription 
 
A. Following are the various steps in the transcription process. Place the steps in the proper
sequence by inserting numbers in the spaces provided: Insert number 1 by the first step, number 2 by
the second step, etc. 
_____6_____ A. The mRNA begins the process of translation.
  
_____1_____ B. The nucleus receives a chemical message to make a new protein.  

_____5_____ C. The mRNA separates from the DNA molecule and moves through a nuclear pore and
into the cytoplasm.  

_____4_____ D. An RNA enzyme assembles RNA nucleotides that would be complementary to the
exposed bases.  

_____3_____ E. The segment of DNA with the relevant gene unwinds.  

_____2_____ F. RNA nucleotides attach to the exposed DNA and then bind to each other to form
messenger RNA (mRNA). 

The Truth: Translation 
B. HIGHLIGHT your correct answer with the color yellow. 
 
1. After the mRNA enters the cytoplasm, it attaches to (the Golgi apparatus) (a ribosome),
which begins the process of translating the protein.
  
2. The mRNA carries the code for each amino acid in a series of three bases, called a
(codon), (chromosome).  

3. Each tRNA consists of (one base), (three bases).  

4. The tRNA deposits (three amino acids), (a single amino acid) at the complementary site.  

5. The (ribosome), (mRNA) uses enzymes to attach the chain of amino acids together with
(cholesterol), (peptide) bonds. 

Make a Connection: Cell Cycle 

 
C. Unscramble the following words to discover the names of the four phases of the cell cycle.
Then use lines to link each  phase to its  characteristics 

1. NESTISSHY A. The cell is busy performing the

Synthesis tasks it was care
2. CODENS PAG B. Cell division occurs
Second Gap
3. TICOMIT C. The cell synthesizes enzymes
Mitotic necessary for division.
4. RIFTS PAG D. The cell makes an extra set of
First Gap DNA

 
Describe the Process: Mitosis 
A. Read the Cell division and describe the Process of Mitosis.  
B. Following are illustrations of four cells in various stages of mitosis. In the blank to the right
of each cell, write the name of each phase and describe what is occurring

Prophase

During prophase, the chromatin condenses into

chromosome. Each chromosome has two sister
chromatids joined at the centromere. The nucleolus
disappears and the nuclear envelope starts to break
down. The centrosomes each with a pair of centrioles
move apart to the opposite poles to form a spindle
between them

Metaphase

During metaphase, microtubules of the spindle interact

with chromosomes that causes the chromosomes to
align in the center of the cell.

Anaphase

During anaphase, the sister chromatids separate at the

kinetochore and the daughter chromosome along with
the divided centromere moves towards the opposite
poles as the microtubule shortens. The poles move apart
and help separate the chromosomes into two sets.

Telophase

The chromosomes disperse, the nuclear envelopes

and the nucleoli form, and the cytoplasm begins to
divide to form two cells.

CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS: 

 
Fill-in-the-Blank  
1. Receptor proteins interact with substances by binding to them and changing
shape to regulate the passage of materials through the cell membrane.  
2. The selective permeability of a membrane is the property that determines its
effectiveness as a barrier.  
3. Only relatively small, non-polar soluble substances can pass directly through
the cell membrane's lipids.  
4. Membrane-bound proteins that allow recognition of a cell as "self" are called
recognition proteins.  
5. A mechanism in which two substances move in opposite directions across the
cell membranes is called counter transport.
6. A mechanism in which two substances move in opposite directions across the
cell membranes is called counter transport.  
7. During active transport, a cell must expend energy (ATP) to accomplish the
movement of a substance. 
8. Active transport processes move substances across a membrane regardless
of concentration gradients.  
9. Osmotic pressure is determined by the concentration of solute molecules in a
solution.  
10. Paired structures made of microtubules that are at right angles to each other
are called centrioles.
DNA PROCESS:

Highlight the correct word or phrase to complete each sentence.

1. DNA molecules (store all of a cell’s genetic information)(contribute to energy

production in the cell).

2. DNA forms a dense coil that resembles an X (at all times)(when the cell is
preparing to divide).

3. The sugar in DNA is (ribonucleic acid)(deoxyribose).

4. The sequence of bases in DNA is (predetermined)(varied); it’s this sequence of

bases that (provides the genetic code)(allows DNA to replicate).

5. One of DNA’s main functions is to provide information for building (lipids)

(proteins).

EXPECTED OUTPUTS: 
ESSAY: Answer the following questions briefly. There are 3 points each.

1. Solution A is hyperosmotic to solution B. If solution A is separated from solution B by a

selectively permeable membrane, does water move from solution A into solution B, or vice
versa? Explain.

The water will move from solution B into solution A because solution A has a higher solute
concentration than solution B. The solvent will dilute the concentrated solution to equalize the
concentration of the two.

2. When a person receives intravenous fluids to help build up blood volume, why is it important for
the fluid to be isotonic?  

It is important for the intravenous fluid to be isotonic to prevent the changes of the different
molecules’ concentration in the bloodstream. It must also avoid an in and out movement of water
in the cells.

3. Briefly explain the process of diffusion and osmosis during movement transport.

Diffusion follows a downhill concentration gradient which means the movement of particles from
an area of higher concentration to lower concentration. On the other hand, osmosis follows an
uphill concentration gradient which means the solvent particles will move from a lower solute
concentration to a higher solute concentration.
