Textbook chapters (only one of the following books is necessary, the information covered in the concept questions is found in each of the books).
• Chapter 3: Anatomy and Physiology by OpenStax College • Chapter 3: Visual Anatomy and Physiology by Martini and Ober • Chapters 3 and 4: Hole’s Anatomy and Physiology by Shier, Butler, and Lewis
NOTE: This unit is a review of much of the information covered in Biology 150 (a recommended pre-req for this course). If you did not take Bio 150, you will need to plan on extra time to learn the information presented in this unit. Also, if you have not taken Bio 150 or a chemistry course, it is highly recommended that you read chapter 2 prior to working on this unit.
1. Describe the process of cellular differentiation – how does it occur, why is it important, and what is the role of stem cells?
4. Compare and contrast the structure and function of the smooth and rough endoplasmic reticulum, and describe how each relates to the Golgi apparatus, vesicles, and ribosomes.
7. Compare and contrast movement through freely permeable and selectively permeable membranes as it relates to diffusion, osmosis, and active transport.
10. Describe the importance of the cell cycle and describe the events occurring during each of the following cell cycle phases: interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
