Q

cytochromes (P450) are involved with what

A

oxidation rx - enable oxidation rx, redox, rx, - they alter the activity of the drug by acting as a oxidizing agent to allow drugs and toxins to be metabolized

Q

if there is more estrogen in adult females what is prediction of half life - P450 cytochromes too

A

it would be larger half life than males - they can metabolize erthromyocin more quickly

this measure the level of dna, quantify the con of dna species in reaction sample

24
Q

EXAMPLE of technique which separates proteins independantly of their charge

A

gel filtration chroma (only by size)

25
exmaple of technique which spearte by charge
native page, (mobility, length, charge, conformation), ion exchange(charge), and isoeltrci focusing (isolectric pt, ph gradient, charge, )
26
when you ant to see how many comboniation with structues for full length peptide you can do
factorial, with number diff tripeptids of isolated!
27
cyctic fibrosies is
recess - need 2 small to express it
28
what is the purpose of inactive X chroma in women
extra X is heterchromaitn, to prevent duplicatesm one of them is inactivated, so its one of the last chromosomes to undergo replication in mitosis
29
Heterochromatin is highly ___, gene-poor, and transcriptionally ___
condensed, silent
30
this control is performed in conditions that are not expected to give positive results
negative
31
when it says bile is released explain structures
contraction of muscle in wall of gallbladder, and relax of hepatopancreatic sphincter
32
peptidases do what
break down peptides -- protein
33
even tho the kidneys are major osmoregualtor organ what else playa role in process
skin and lungs -- large amount is secreted in urine we also secrete via skin/lungs, (transpiration, sweaT)
34
high URINE osmolarity means that more ____ are being removed from the bod relative to the _____ being removed
ion, water
35
if solution has high osmolarity means
high solutes, less water
36
if solution has low osmolarity means
less solutes, more water
37
if there is higher urine osmolarity and less blood osomolarly what doe sit mesn
in urine much more higher concentration of ions/solute, than the blood, blood has more water so in this case, the kidneys are acting to conserve water
38
formula for CO
=SV TIMES HR
39
Anaerobic respiration causes ____ ph because this forms
dec (more acidic) and bc lactic acid forms
40
presence of lactate in the venous blood, with inc/dec osmolarity
inc
41
with log base 10 on the y axis what does it translate to
always will be 10,000 also when it says slow down in the graph see where on the graph it kind of levels off
42
___ this is the phagocytotic innate immune cell specific to the brain
microglia
43
_______ these cells activate B cells which proliferate and produce antibodies specific to the antigen
helper t cells
44
_____ these are immune cells no present in brain, is a lymphocyte that kills cells that damaged
cytotoxic t cells
45
___ these cells produce antibodies are responsible for immune response
B cells
46
intercalated discs are synonmous with
cardiac muscles
47
_____ these are intercellular junctions that function as anchors to form strong sheets of cells
desmosomes
48
example of where gap jucntions - provide cytoplasmic channels bw adj cells
epithelia, which are the coverings of body surfaces, as well as nerves, cardiac (heart) muscle, and smooth muscle (such as that of the intestines).
49
Most synapses are _____; these synapses communicate using chemical messengers.
chemical
50
amber codon known as
stop - protein will not be synthesized
51
say correct order of gaba receptors located in cell membrane
first made in RER then modified by golgi, and transported into the membrane by transport vesicles
52
if female has unknown genotype byt we know will express the domintant (dont know if homo or hetero) so how to test
mate with male with complete recesiive traits for both - if produce no recessive then female was homo dom, and if recessive are produced then we know she was hetereo
53
which process is likely responsible for the failure of gamete to receive a copy of a particular chromo
nondisjunction - sister chromatids fail to separtate, abnormal chromo during anaphase 1 and 2 too few or too many
54
inactive X in female is packaged in
heterochromatin - condences,m
55
___ explains when genes tend to be inhertied together
linkage
56
Heat and work are
not state functions.
57
exmaple of state functions
Mass, pressure, density, energy, temperature, volume, enthalpy, entropy, Gibbs free energy and chemical composition are all examples of state functions in thermochemistry.
