Butterflies and moths

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

Connective tissue

A

Binds and supports other tissues
Sparsely packed cells scattered throughout an extracellular matrix of fibers

A

Loose connective tissue (holds organs in place)
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)
Axon: transmits signal from one cell to another
Dendrites: receives signal

57
Q

Glial cells

A

Support and nourishment of long lines of axons

58
Q

Mammalian circulatory pathway

A

Right ventricle -> pulmonary artery -> lung capillaries (diffusion of oxygen) -> pulmonary vein -> left atrium -> left ventricle -> aorta -> systemic capillaries -> vena cava -> right atrium

59
Q

Atrioventricular valves

A

Separate atria from ventricles

60
Q

Semilunar valves

A

Separate ventricles from arteries

61
Q

Systole

A

Pumping or contraction phase of cardiac cycle

62
Q

Diastole

A

Relaxation or filling phase of cardiac cycle

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
Q

Cardiac cycle

A
  1. Atrial and ventricular diastole: AV valves open, semilunar valves closed
  2. Atrial systole and ventricular diastole
  3. Atrial diastole and ventricular systole: AV valves closed, semilunar valves open
66
Q

Air flow through mammalian respiratory system

A

Nostrils -> pharynx -> trachea -> bronchi (2 main branches of trachea into lungs- 1 branch per lung) -> bronchioles (branches of bronchi) -> alveoli
Alveoli: dead ends where gas exchange occurs
