involved in cell motility

Found in muscle cells and in cells that move by changing shape such as phagocytes (WBC)

27
Q

Flagella v. Cilia

A

Long, and short respectively

28
Q

Centrioles

A

Microtubule organizing centers. A pair of centrioles (enclosed in a centrosome) located outside the nuclear envelope gives rise to the microtubules that make up the spindle apparatus used during cell division.

29
Q

Gap Junctions

A

narrow tunnels between animal cells

Consist of proteins called connexins
Allow ions to pass but not cytoplasm

Because the proteins of each cell extend beyond the plasma membranes before they meet, a small gap occurs between the two plasma membranes.

30
Q

Prokaryote difference from Eukaryotes

A

Generally consist of only a plasma membrane, a DNA molecule, ribosomes, cytoplasm, and often a cell wall.

  1. Prokaryotes do not have a nucleus.
  2. The hereditary material in prokaryotes exists as asingle“naked”DNA molecule without the proteins that are associated with the DNA in eukaryotic chromosomes.
  3. Prokaryotic ribosomes ares smaller
  4. The cell walls of bacteria and cyanobacteria, when present, are constructed frump ptidoglycans, a polysaccharide- protein molecule. The cell walls of archaebacteria contain various polysaccharides, but not peptidoglycans, cellulose (as in plants), or chitin (as in fungi).
  5. Flagella when present in prokaryotes, are not constructed of micro tubules.
31
Q

What are Ion channels called in muscle and nerve cells?

A

Gated Channels

32
Q

The passage of glucose into a cell is by _____.

A

Carrier Proteins

33
Q

Glycoproteins are _____.

A

Recognition Proteins.

34
Q

Gram-positive bacteria. In contrast to Gram-negative bacteria

A

bacteria that retain the crystal violet dye do so because of a thick layer of peptidoglycan and are called Gram-positive bacteria. In contrast, Gram-negative bacteria do not retain the violet dye and are colored red or pink. Compared with Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria are more resistant against antibodies because of their impenetrable cell wall.

35
Q

What are glyoxysomes?

A

Peroxisomes In germinating seeds,

Break down stored fatty acids to help generate energy for growth.

36
Q

Centrioles and Basal Bodies

A

Act as microtubule organizing centers.

Give rise to microtubules that make up spindle apparatus during cell division

Basal bodies are at the base of each flagellum and cilium, and appear to organize their development.

37
Q

Vesicular transport

A

uses vesicles or other bodies in the cytoplasm to move macromolecules or large particles across the plasma membrane.

EG..

Endocytosis (Phago, Pino, Receptor mediated Endocytosis)
Endocytosis

38
Q

Receptor-mediated endocytosis

A

A form of pinocytosis

The membrane pits, the receptors, and their specific molecules (called ligands)

39
Q

In order to absorb more of the light bandwidth plants have what?

A

Multiple pigments, green chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b and the carotenoids, which are red, orange, or yellow.

40
Q

Noncyclic Photophosphorylation

A

making ATP from ADP and Pi (phosphorylation) using energy derived from light (photo).

41
Q

2 electrons in Noncyclic Phosphorylation Yield

A

1.5 ATP left over electrons become incorporated into NADPH

42
Q

2 electrons in cyclic Phosphorylation Yield

A

1ATP left over electrons return to PS1. Here they can be energized again to participate in cyclic or noncyclic photophosphorylation.

43
Q

The electrons from photosynthesis come from______.

A

The splitting of water into 2H+, 1/2O2, and 2e-

44
Q

Water splitting in photosynthesis is catalyzed by?

A

water is split by PS II, with A manganese containing protein complex

45
Q

Calvin cycle must repeat________times ignorer to produce 1 glucose molecule

A

6 times

46
Q

4 basic steps of Calvin cycle

A
  1. Carboxylation: 6 CO2 combine with 6 RuBP to produce 12 PGA
  2. Reduction: 12 ATP and 12 NADPH are used to convert 12 PGA to 12 G3P
  3. Regeneration: 6 ATP are used to convert 10 G3P to 6 RuBP
  4. Carbohydrate synthesis: 12 G3P were created in step 2, but only 10 were used in step 3, two remaining G3P are used to build glucose
47
Q

in Plants H+ ions (protons) accumulate here.

A

Thylakoid lumen

48
Q

the fluid material that fills the area inside the inner membrane of the chloroplast, and The Calvin cycle occurs
here

A

Stroma

49
Q

Advantages of C4 photosynthesis

A

minimizes photorespiration (more efficient CO2 fixers), reduces water loss

eg. Sugarcane, corn, and crab grass.

50
Q

A locus refers to _____

A

location on a chromosome where a gene is located.

51
Q

The law of segregation refers to

A

Separation of alleles and their chromosomes to individual gametes.

52
Q

law of independent assortment refers to______

A

Individual hereditary factors assort independently during gamete production, giving different traits an equal opportunity of occurring together.

eg.. one allele of each allele pair migrates to opposite poles and ends up in separate gametes.

53
Q

What is Epistasis?

A

when one gene affects the phenotypic expression of a second gene.

eg.. Pigmentation, CCBB, CCBb, CcBB, and CcBb are all black, and the expressions of CCbb and Ccbb are both brown. However, whenever cc is inherited, no pigment is produced and the fur is white regardless of the color encoded by the B allele.

54
Q

Pleiotropy

A

single gene has more than one phenotypic expression.

Many disease-causing genes exhibit pleiotropy, like Sickle-cell disease

55
Q

Polygenic inheritance

A

many genes shaping one phenotype is the opposite of pleiotropy (one gene influencing many phenotypes).

56
Q

Linked Genes

A

Genes that reside on the same chromosome and cannot segregate independently because they are physically connected.

57
Q

Conditions of nondisjunction?

A
  1. During meiosis, the failure for two homologous chromosomes (during anaphase I) or two chromatids of a single
    chromosome (during anaphase II) to separate and segregate produces gametes with extra or missing chromosomes.
  2. During mitosis, the failure of two chromatids of a single chromosome (during anaphase) to separate and segregate
    produces daughter cells with extra or missing chromosomes. This happens most often during embryonic develop-
    ment and results in mosaicism, in which a fraction of the body cells, those descendent of a cell where nondis-
    junction occurs, have an extra or missing chromosome.
  3. Polyploidy occurs if all of the chromosomes undergo meiotic nondisjunction and produce gametes with twice the
    number of chromosomes. If a polyploid gamete is fertilized with a similar gamete, then a polyploidy zygote and
    individual can form. Polyploidy is common in plants.
58
Q

What is Aneuploidy?

A

genome with extra or missing chromosomes

Down syndrome occurs when an egg or sperm with an extra number 21 chromosome fuses with a normal
gamete.

Turner Syndrome results when there is nondisjunction of the sex chromosomes. Sperm will have either both
sex chromosomes (XY) or no sex chromosomes (O, used to indicate the absence of a chromosome)
59
Q

Duplications occurs when ____

A

Chromosome segment is repeated on the same chromosome

60
Q

Inversions occurs when______

A

Chromosome segments are rearranged in reverse orientation on the same chromosome.

61
Q

Translocation occurs when____

A

Segment of a chromosome is moved to another chromosome.
