Q

nutrient deprivaton

A

-constant glucagon secretion

  • glycogen stores used 10-18 hours
  • gluconeogenesis done by liver- lose protein
  • —first w/ glycolysis, after 18 hours exclusively for BRAIN (Direct effect = muscle breakdown)
  • overall state of starvation = excess Acetyl CoA = eventually rise in ketone bodies- later reduces need of gluconeogenesis

-constant low insulin = muscles and tissues uptake less glucose = stop TAG and protein synthesis

Q

Skeletal myocytes

A
  • incapable of mitosis
  • repair by myosatellite cells (quiescent/dormant stem cells)- differentiate to myoblasts and form muscle fibers when needed

Q

Digestive system + Sympathetic NS

A
  • decrease blood flow
  • decrease water reabsorption
  • inhibit peristalsis

-even though retain more water by decreasing absorption, no diarrhea b/c inhibit peristalsis too- food sit there = actually still more likely for constipation than diarrhea

Q

pI

A

neutral = 6

SIDE CHAINS

  • Asp = 3.7, Glu = 4.2
  • His = 6
  • Cys = 8
  • Tyr = 10, Lys = 10
  • Arg = 12

Q

Oocyte

A
  • primary oocyte arrested in prophase 1
  • ovulation
  • secondary oocyte arrested in prophase 2
  • fertilization
  • complete meiosis
  • zygote lysosomes from egg; everything from egg
  • sperm only gives haploid genetic info + centrioles
  • polyspermy is blocked by a release of Ca2+ ions
  • zygote divides before it grows

Q

RBC’s

A
  • hemolysis releases intracellular components like K+
  • when RBC’s make HCO3- it immediately diffuses into plasma
  • lack mitochondria = lactic acid fermentation

Q

hybrid breakdown

A
  • crossing 2 dif but related species
  • F1 is fertile and viable
  • F2 is less fit
  • backcross may also be less fit (F1 w/ parent or parent genotype)

16
Q

delta G

A

G = -RTlnK
ln 1 = 0 and ln e = 1

K = 1 at equilibrium so fwd and rev rxn rates are the same
this does not mean [PDTs] = [reac’s] so you can calculate a value of Keq still

17
Q

GTP is used by

A
  • translation
  • GPCR’s
  • gluconeogenesis

glycogenolysis uses Pi

glycolysis uses ATP to trap glucose
glycogenesis also uses ATP to trap glucose

18
Q

if you have more bases that are complementary

A

they will

19
Q

hybridization

A

used in PCR

complementary base pairing to form dsDNA or dsRNA

20
Q

homotropic and heterotropic effectors

A

A + B –> C using enzyme D

A and B are enzyme substrates so if they bind to and affect activity of enzyme D, they’re homotropic effectors

a random effector Y which influences enzyme D would be heterotropic

21
Q

integumentary system

A

hair, skin, nails

  • protect against infection
  • thermoregulation (sweat glands, capillaries)
  • regulate water movement (epidermis is relatively impermeable)
22
Q

tRNA cloverleaf

A

SECONDARY structure

anticodon attaches 3’ to 5’ and aa is at 3’ CCA-OH
