AAMC #2 Flashcards
Half life definition
the time it takes for half of all the radioactive nuclei to decay into their daughter nuclei
venturi effect
when Patm>P the air goes to less P often has to do with masks
coordinate covalent bond
a lewis acid base interaction between a metal cation and e- pair donar
happens when the donor (like N) donates both of the electrons
[Cu(NH3)4]2+
2+ is ox number, 4 is coordination number because it is how many nh3 bind to cu
PFK-1 regualtes by
feedback inhibition and allosteric regulation by ATP binding to allosteric site
ubiqutination
targets a protein for degradation by a proteosome, which breaks it into smaller peptides
glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) catalyzes what rxn
glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate to 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate.
western blotting
used for post translational modifications of proteins like acetylation
myelin
oligo - CNS, many cells
schwann - PNS one cells
prion
a prion is an abnormally folded protein that induces a normally folded version of the protein to also adopt the abnormal structure, which is often deleterious
virion
the complete, infective form of a virus outside a host cell, with a core of RNA or DNA and a capsid.
avos number
6x10^23molecules/mol
Units important!!
microtubules
cellular structures that originate from the centrosome
they are organizing centers in the cells, not just for mitosis
where are the long chain, short chains, and variable regions on an antibody
1 and 3 are variable
sperm get there tails in the
epidydimys, they are produced in the seminiferous tubes
Why is ATP needed in contraction
ATP must bind to recock the myosin head and release actin
What do you do if you want a protein to run further on an SDS PAGE
Reduce it, so the disulfide bonds break and it can separate and run further
linguistic relativity hypothesis
Humans are better at distinguishing colors for which their language has a name.
language affects cognition
Source monitoring Error
- memory error where source of memory is incorrectly attributed to a specific recollected experience (when people recall information they often forget the information’s source) –
- Ex. angry with someone but forgot it happened in a dream. Or recognize someone but don’t know from where.
- “I don’t remember where it came from”
cognitive component of attitude
form thoughts/beliefs, and our knowledge)
social desirability
would be do an anonymous survey so that people do not change their result base on what people think
On average, participants generate more alternatives alone than in a group.
Whenever a question asks about success in groups, think SOCIAL LOAFING
emotional intelligence
refers to the ability to perceive, express, understand, and manage one’s emotions. Emotionally intelligent people are self-aware and can delay gratification in pursuit of long-term rewards, rather than being overtaken by immediate impulses
functionalism
The sociological paradigm of functionalism makes a distinction between manifest, or intended, and latent, or unintended, functions of social activities. From the functionalist perspective, almost all social actions have both manifest functions and latent functions, both of which are connected to overall social stability.
hawthorne effect
changes in research participants as a result of their awareness that they are being observed.
