DAT bootcamp test 3 Flashcards
What is the endosymbiotic theory
that eukaryotic cells originated from a mutualistic relationship between two prokaryotes
(mitochondria and chloroplasts were prokaryotes
What 5 things are evidence of the endosymbiotic theory
- mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own DNA that is circular without proteins
- mitochondria and chloroplasts have different ribosomes
- mitochondria and chloroplasts reproduce individually of the cell by a process similar to binary fission
- mitochondria and chloroplasts have a double membrane (could have come from one prokaryote engulfing another)
- thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts resemble those of the photosynthetic membranes of cyanobacteria
What are the chromosome/chromatid numbers for humans through meiosis
- Normal = 23 chromosomes (46 chromatids)
- After duplication = 46 chromosomes (92 chromatids)
- After meiosis 1 = 23 chromosomes (46 chromatids)
- after meiosis 2 = 23 chromosomes (23 chromatids)
What are the chromosome/chromatid numbers for humans through mitosis
- Normal - 23 Chromosomes (46 chromatids)
- after duplication = 46 chromosomes (92 chromatids)
- after mitosis = 46 chromosomes (46 chromatids)
what are the products of light dependent reactions of photosynthesis
O2, NADPH, ATP
What are the products of the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis
Glucose, NADP+, ADP
What are the substrates of the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis
O2, NADPH, ATP, CO2, Rubisco
What is the fluid mosaic model
macromolecules float around on top of the sea of phospholipids
What are tight junctions and where are they found
cell junctions that prevent the passage of materials between digestive tract cells in animals (they are found at the top of the cells)
what are desmosomes and where are they found
anchoring junctions that provide mechanical stability often seen in animal skin cells
What are desmosomes made of
keratin to hold cells together
What are gap junctions
narrow protein channels in animal cells that allow for the exchange of small ions and molecules (not cytoplasm)
cell to cell communication or electrical impulse
What are plasmodesmata
narrow protein channels between plant cells
what are siRNA
small interfering RNA, they interfere with the expression of genes
What are tetrads
pairs of homologous chromosomes (4 chromatids)
Why does yeast undergo anaerobic respiration in the absence of oxygen?
to oxidize NADH to NAD+ (that way NAD+ can go and allow glycolysis to produce more ATP)
what is the evolution of fish from earliest to latest
jawless fish
cartilagenous fish
Lobe-finned fish
What are lacteals and what do they do
lymphatic capillaries that absorb fats in the small intestine
What things does the hypothalamus control
body temperature hunger thirst sleep circadian cycles
What does the pons do
relays signals from the forebrain to the cerebellum
what does the medulla control
respiration
digestion
heart pumping
what does the cerebellum do
motor control (balance and coordination)
what does the frontal lobe do
reasoning
planning
problem solving
What does the parietal lobe do
orientation
recognition
perception
what does the occipital lobe do
visual processing
what does the temporal lobe do
recognition of auditory stimuli
memory
speech
what does the corpus callosum do
axons that connects the two hemispheres of the brain
