Q

a peptide is what type of linkage and why are these linkages stable

A

a peptide is an amide linkage. amides are stable bc of their res stabiliztion btwn lp on n and db in carbonyl group.

Q

ocean water has what

A

ocean water has a lot of na and cl ions which would make an osmotic gradient puling water out of the body’s cells causing dehydration.

Q

hybridization and polymerization w regard to nucleotides

A

hybridization is the process of binding with complementary nucleotides. polymerization is the process by which nucs are strung tg to form a single stranded rna strand not the joining of two comp strands.

Q

why is aldosterone released? what does it do and what does it control

A

aldost is released in resp to low bp. it increase na reabsorption in distal tubule and collecting duct. ald upregulates the nak pumps along nephron lining which pumps 3na out for every 2 k in. since net solute mvmt is out of nephron, aldost also increases the gradient favoring water reabsorption. ald controls na reabsorption.

Q

autoclaving

A

autoclaving is the most effective way to sterilize used lab materials and this should be standard procedure followed here. it brings the temp to over 120 C and pressure of 2 atm which is enuff to kill almost anything.

Q

double crossover event v single

A

csomal arms of homolog csomes cross over in two diff places along the arm. this results in a section in the middle of each csome being exch. single is only on the ends.

Q

what conformation do peptide bonds usually exist in? do they have db character

A

they exist usually in trans. also they have partial db character bc of the delocalization of e density from the peptide n through the peptide carbonyl carbon and onto peptide cnyl ox. as such the pep bond shows res stabilization( this was also mentioned in an earlier q!) for steric reasons its usually trans

Q

what do many biological processes need and provide an example of this

A

many bio processes need a high sa to volume ratio. this allows for bio processes to occur faster. when indiv alveol break down like in emphysema the lungs lose needed surface area to allow for effecitve diffusion of resp gases.

17
Q

what happens if smth like a drug is not rly soluble in hphilic media

A

this is a problem- if its not rly soluble in hphilic media like blood and cytosol and water it may have a hard time traveling in the bloodstream probably.nanomicelles were invented to circumvent this issue. we must infer this from psg. ctz is nonpolar with mult hphobic groups lots of e delocal and no charge so its poorly soluble in polar solvents.

18
Q

what do high intracell lactate levels signify

A

high ill means the cell has high metab activity- opp to lowered glyc. lactate is a fermentation product but inhibiting glyc or ferm would reduce ill and indicate the metab of the cancer cell is being inhib by drug

19
Q

microtubules and microfilaments

A

microtubules make up spindle. microfilaments are smaller than mtubules or actin filaments and play a role in musc contraction not in spindle. mtubules are cytoskeletal and make of tubulin.

20
Q

what are free rads

A

free rads are mols with an unpaired valence e so they are typically reactive ox agents

21
Q

analogous and homologous definitions

A

analogous are structures that evolved indep to do the same thing. homologous are those with a similar evolutionary history even it they are now having diff fxns. forelimbs of mammals are homologs despite diff fxn.

22
Q

What is transduction

A

Form of horizontal gene transfer in bacteria where bacteriophages transmit genomic material.

23
Q

Transformation

A

Involves direct uptake of genetic material from the environment and it’s not mediated by viruses

24
Q

How many rings in purines ( a and g)? What about pyrimidines ( c and t)?

A

2 and 1 respectively

25
Q

What solvents does sn2 favor

A

Polar aprotic

26
Q

Cell differentiation is mediated primarily by

A

Gene expression levels- cell diff occurs primarily thru diff gene exp levels

27
Q

Rapid actin polymerization near the edge of cellular structure is responsible for

A

Cellular motility in complex eukaryotic cells 

28
Q

Weather for cells to travel to side of injury they need to migrate. microtubule depolymerization is responsible for

A

 Separating chromosomes during anaphase of mitosis or meiosis one or two, it does not contribute to a overall cell migration
