Cells and Tissues

ATP is only produced within the mitochondria.

The “pump” (or ATPase) transports Na+ out and K+ into the cell.

As the name implies, plasma proteins are found in the blood plasma. Not to be confused with the plasma membrane.

The membrane protein facilitates the entry into the cell. No energy is expended, so it is not active transport.

The prefix “lys-” refers to the ability to alter molecules by dividing them into smaller pieces.

Simple = one layer. Columnar means oblong or shaped like a column.

Translation occurs in the cytoplasm (transcription occurs in the nucleus). DNA does not exist in the cytoplasm.

The suffix “-blast” indicates that the cell is immature.

The long process is called an axon and belongs to a neurone. So the tissue is neural tissue.

Red blood cells have no nucleus, while osteoclasts and skeletal muscle cells are multinucleate.
