174-209 Flashcards
prophase I
crossing over is done here; genetic recombination occurs here
induction
process in an embryo in which one tissue causes another to differentiate is called
produced by the transcription process and is subsequently translated to form proteins
m-RNA
transcription
DNA–>mRNA; occurs in nucleus
where is chlorophyll found
thylakoid membrane
rhizoids
root like absorptive structures in some fungi and plants
islets of langerhans
represent a collection of alpha an dbeta ells of the pancreas. alpha secrete glucagon while beta cells secrete insulin
cnidoblasts
specialized cells located in the tentacles and body wall of coelenterates ; interior filled by the stinging ells, nematocysts
prolactin produced by …stimulates….
the anterior pituitary gland, stimulates milk secretion in mammals
where is melanin produced
stratum germinativum
stratum corneum
outermost layer containing the dead epithelial cells
dermis
consists of connective tissue containing receptor muscles air follicles, sensory receptors, sweat and sebaceous glands
pleurae
thin serous smooth membranous outer covering of the lungs
alveoli
the basic respiratory unites where actua gas exchange occurs by passive diffusion
sinus
cavity or hollow space in a bone
peritoneum
tissue that covers all the digestive organs and lines the body cavity
pinna
fleshy outer portion of the external ear
stroke volume
Volume of blood that is discharged from the ventricles with each contraction ; end diastolic volume- end systolic volume
cardiac output
stroke volume X heart rate
achondroplasia
we see dwarfism ; affected indificual is less than 4ft 5 inches tall ; autosomal dominant inheritance
progeria
we see autosomal recessive inheritance where premature aging is seen; before age 10 child has wrinkles , arthritis, hair thin and have arteriosclerosis
steroid hormones are synthesized from
cholestrol
where do carbon fixation occur
dark rxns
substrate concentration at which the run rate is half of its maximal value
Km;vmax/2. different enzymes have different Km values
early earths reducing atmosphere
NH3, H2, CH4, H2O CO, CO2
animals and heart chambers
mammals and birds-4; fish-2; amphibians and reptiles- 3
reproductive structure of an angiosperm
flower; divided into monocots and dicots
when an AA enters the cytoplasm from a t-RNA it enters
ribosome
when did eukaryotes and prokaryotes come on earth
0.5 bill years ago, 3.5 billion years ago
longest mitotic stage
prophase
whats N at anaphase
92, 4N
ungulates
large hooved plant eating mammals such as giraffes seen in the african savanna
