Q

when describes that bacteria has energy source and products what does it mean

A

energy source, is the thing it needs to survive, if this is low then their production is low, and th eproducts are only produced if we have energy source

Q

explain the Na - glucose cotransporter

Q

___ are nervous tissue with PM, nucleus, all organelles, vary widely

A

neurons

22
Q

an inc in aerobic exercise result in ince of ____ because there inc in ____ demand

A

EPO (erthycopotinet) create RBC, oxygen

23
Q

______ is process crucial for the structural conformation of the protein

A

glycosylation - so differences in this could prevent EPO from proper activation

24
Q

can glycoprotein cross the cell? how do they, what use

A

NO, use receptor on PM

25
Q

if they want to study antidepressant induced p11 then with experiment both groups need to have some antidepressant to show something

A
26
Q

when Ph = PI then that means

A

ratio of cation to anion is 1 = cuz the net charge is 0

27
Q

the net charge of cationic and anionic functional groups will be ____ when ph =pI

A

ZERO

28
Q

____ are compounds that bind to ions, allowing them to cross the PM

A

ionophores

29
Q

introduce Na ionophores to cultre would permit movement of Na across the membrane dissipating the sodium motive force that wouldve allowed ATP to generate - so

A

dec production of ATP

30
Q

which enzymes in the CAC require NAD+/FAD

A

isocitrate dehydro, alpha keto gluco dehy, succinate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase

31
Q

When Keq is greater than 1, products are

A

favored at equilibrium. + exergonic - products are favoured

32
Q

nutrient and wates are often ____ by corssing the cell membrane

A

exchanged

33
Q

if it shows higher levels of UCP-1 mrna levels that means that in th efat cells

A

more, would mean burnin more so more energy is dissipating causing lower body weight, higher temp,

34
Q

viruses or protein tranfers gentic material is known as what

A

transduction - wehre foreign dna is ontro into cell - no physical contact, - just transferred

35
Q

___ refer to acquisition of genetic material from the environment into bacteria

A

transformation

36
Q

___refer to impurites in substnance or solution

A

contamination

37
Q

refer to exchange of nucleic acids bw bacteria across bridges

A

conjugation

38
Q

read the question __ says exposure to pro inflammatory agents cause production of ROS, lead to mutaiton, and the enzyme that in interest lack the fixer of these mutation so what possible incidence

A

increase cancer incidence

39
Q

for a pain reflex arc what part is in the CNS

A

internueon which serves as a intercommunication point for the afferent and efferent neurons

40
Q

the dorsal root ganglion play a role in _____info from the PNS to the CNS

A

afferent/sensory

41
Q

the ventral root of the efferent motor neuron - plays a role in sending inform from the ____ to the _____ to carry out a reflex action

A

CNS to effector organ

42
Q

the resting potential of neuron is primarity a results of the

A

distribution of ions across PM

43
Q

neurotransmitter at the post synaptic membrane often generate current that will

A

produce a local potential - shift the resting potential

44
Q

contraction of the diaphragm is

A

inhalation, and inc thoracic volume, dec intrathoracic pressure

45
Q

which kinetic parameter will inc with addition of more substrate

A

vi

46
Q

these do not change with changes in substrate con

A

kcat, vmax, Km

47
Q

dna sequences that are vital to organisms life are _____among species

A

conserved - meaning idental/similar, maintained by natural selection

48
Q

since Lp is caused by continous lactase synthesis this region is most likely targete mutation

A

enhancer seq - where able to bind to transcriptional activators in order to inc expression of a gene

49
Q

____ are the intestinal cells that produce enzymes that digest disaccarides - lactase

A

enterocytes in the duodenal villi

50
Q

this site of where more chemical digestion occur

A

duodenum

51
