29
Q

Order Hymenoptera

A

Wasps, ants, bees

30
Q

Stridulation

A

Sound produced by rubbing a hardened ridge (file) against another hardened structure (scraper)
Bugs: mating calls or alarm calls

31
Q

Pronotal humps

A

Horns/bumps on the pronotum (top of thorax) of male hissing cockroach
Used to distinguish males from females (females have very small bumps or none at all)

32
Q

Glycolysis

A

“Splitting of sugar”
Oxidation of 1 glucose molecule to 2 pyruvate molecules
Occurs in cytoplasm of cell
2 major phases: energy investment phase and energy payoff phase
Overall yield: 2 pyruvate, 2 ATP, 2 NADH

33
Q

Citric acid cycle

A

Takes place in mitochondrial matrix
Step 1: Acetyl CoA + oxaloacetate -> citrate
Steps 2-8: Citrate -> oxaloacetate
Net result: 3 NADH, 1 GTP, 1 FADH2, 2 CO2

34
Q

Electron transport chain

A

Electrons from NADH and FADH2 lose energy in several steps
O2: final electron acceptor (forms H2O)
Inner mitochondrial membrane
Electron transfer drives complexes to pump H+ from mitochondrial matrix into intermembrane space

35
Q

Chemiosmosis

A

Proton motive force: H+ from electron transport chain turns motor, making ATP
Turning of motor generates energy to couple inorganic phosphate in matrix to ADP

36
Q

ATP yield from cellular respiration

A

30-36 ATP from total cycle

Most come from oxidative phosphorylation

37
Q

Effect of germination on cellular respiration of peas

A

Germinated peas respire more than non-germinated peas

38
Q

Effect of temperature on cellular respiration of peas

A

Warm peas respire more than cold peas

39
Q

CO2 and hemoglobin

A

CO2 produced by citric acid cycle is picked up by hemoglobin
CO2 reacts with water to form H2CO3, which dissociates into H+ and HCO3-
Increase in H+: decrease in pH
Hemoglobin holds less O2 at higher pH
Hemoglobin transports H+ to lungs: releases H+ to form H2CO3 which is then converted to H2O and CO2
CO2 is exhaled

40
Q

Effect of exercise on tidal volume

A

TV increases during exercise

41
Q

Effect of hyperventilation on breath-holding duration

A

Hyperventilation increases breath-holding duration

42
Q

C3 vs. C4 first stable products in pathway

A

C3: first stable product has 3 carbons (phosphoglycerate)
C4: first stable product has 4 carbons (oxaloacetate)

43
Q

C3 vs. C4 carboxylating enzymes

A

C3: rubisco
C4: PEP carboxylase and rubisco

44
Q

C3 vs. C4 location of Calvin cycle

A

C3: mesophyll
C4: bundle sheath cells

45
Q

C3 vs. C4 photorespiration

A

Photorespiration: O2 is fixed when CO2 is scarce (increases when stomata close to conserve H2O during temperature increase)
C3: present
C4: not measurable

46
Q

C3 vs. C4 photosynthesis rate

A

C4 rate > C3 rate

47
Q

C3 vs. C4 ATP needed to fix CO2

A

C3: 3
C4: 4

48
Q

Contains cells that are closely joined in sheets
Columnar: column-like cells
Cuboidal: square-shaped cells
Squamous: “squashed” cells

50
Q

Connective tissue

A

Binds and supports other tissues
Sparsely packed cells scattered throughout an extracellular matrix of fibers
Collagenous fibers and elastic fibers (thinner)

Fibrous connective tissue (found in tendons and ligaments)
Adipose (fat)
Cartilage
Bone
Blood

52
Q

Fibroblasts

A

Connective tissue matrix: secrete fiber proteins

53
Q

Muscle tissue

A

Composed of long cells (muscle fibers) capable of contracting in response to nerve signals

54
Q

3 types of muscle tissue

A

Skeletal (striated-horizontal stripes, voluntary control)
Cardiac (striated, involuntary)
Smooth (non-striated, involuntary)

55
Q

Nervous tissue

A

Senses stimuli and transmits signals throughout the animal

Made up of neurons and glial cells

56
Q

Parts of neuron

A

Cell body (soma)

63
Q

Sinoatrial (SA) node

A

Pacemaker: sets rate and timing for cardiac muscle cell contraction
Influenced by nerves, hormones, body temperature, and exercise

64
Q

Heartbeat

A
  1. SA node generates wave of signals to contract
  2. Signals are delayed at AV node
  3. Signals pass to heart apex and then Purkinje fibers
  4. Ventricles contract
65

A
  1. Atrial and ventricular diastole: AV valves open, semilunar valves closed
