II. ORDER TYPE Order the following sequences of events or instructions by writing the appropriate
number (1 to 6) on the blanks.
PASTEUR EXPERIMENT
_____ The beef broth with microorganisms is boiled, eliminating all microorganisms
_____ The swan-necked flask is tipped, allowing the microorganisms to enter the boiled broth
_____ Air carrying microorganisms enter the swan-necked flask
_____ Microorganisms rapidly reproduce inside the broth
_____ Microorganisms are stuck in the swan-necked flask’s curvature
VIRUS INVASION
_____ The cell is sometimes destroyed in the process — many new viruses are released to infect
other neighboring cells
_____ The nucleic acid [DNA or RNA] in the center of the virus is released
_____ A virus enters the host cell
_____ Substances in the [host] cell begins to strip the virus’ outer coat of protein
_____ The cell ignores its own chemical needs and switches to making new viruses (in a process
called replication)
_____ The [virus’] nucleic acid penetrates the cell’s chemical manufacturing system (or the
nucleus)
PROTEIN SYNTHESIS
_____ mRNA is created from DNA during transcription and exits the nucleus through the nuclear pores
_____ The rRNA creates proteins from the amino acids in the ribosomes
_____ The mRNA sends instructions on how to make proteins to the ribosomes
_____ Amino acids are created from mRNA and tRNA during Translation
_____ Genetic information (or DNA) is replicated in the nucleus
_____ The tRNA delivers materials (Amino Acids) to the ribosomes
CELL DIVISION
_____ The daughter cells now have similar traits to its parents
_____ The parent splits its information into two different cells
_____ The parent creates an identical copy of its DNA information
_____ The parent’s DNA information is passed to the daughter cells
VESICULAR TRANSPORT MODEL
_____ The cis golgi receives the transport vesicles
_____ The trans golgi sorts the glycoproteins according to chemical composition
_____ The medial golgi modifies the glycoproteins
_____ The small sacs in the RER buds off and becomes transport vesicles
_____ The trans golgi releases the modified glycoproteins
