DAT destroyer Flashcards
State the relationship between double fertilization and Angiosperms
The egg must be fertilized and the nutritious tissue!
Determinate Cleavage vs Indeterminate Cleavage
Determinate refers to normal division into an embryo. Indeterminate results in identical twins.
Homologous structures vs Analagous Structures
analogous=similar in function but not evolutionary origin
homologous=similar in function and in evolutionary origin
What are the 3 laws of thermodynamics?
- Internal energy as a product of work or heat
- Irreversible Reactions. Entropy.
- Entropy is 0 at 0K.
What are the two poles of an embryo? Define the Gray Crescent.
Vegetal Pole. Animal Pole. Animal is where gastrulation is occurring or some fast divison of cells (lively). Gray Crescent refers to the opposite side of sperm penetration. It establishes the body axis.
define diapedesis.
The movement of WBCs across the tiny endothelial pores.
When is an embryo considered a fetus? What markers are there?
Myogenesis and neurogenesis have progressed to where the embryo is capable of motion, and the eyes begin to form. Organogenesis and growth continue. Hair has started to form along with all essential organs. Facial features are beginning to develop. At the end of the 8th week, the embryonic stage is over, and the fetal stage begins.[2]
Define the term for organ development.
Organogenesis.
Keratin
a fibrous protein in dead skin cells (stratified squamous). Present on many animal species. responsible for the skin being waterproof.
Where do all second order synapse to third order? Where do the third orders then extend into?
THALAMUS.
third order extends into the cortex of the brain.
How does a low pH affect the oxygen distribution curve? Same with an increased temperature.
We will see a shift to the left > the oxygen will dissociate at a lower partial pressure. Since we want that oxygen to be deposited faster.
Define Motor Unit
All the Muscle Fibres innervated from one nerve fiber
At some stage in development, all chordates have…
pharyngeal pouches, a notochord, and a dorsal tubular nerve cord
Radial Symmetry
Echinodermata
Monera is different from all other Kingdoms how?
Prokaryotic Cells
Archenteron
The primitive gut that forms during gastrulation in the developing blastula is known as the archenteron. It develops into the digestive tract of an animal.
Long term process of one ecosystem turning into another?
Ecological Succession
What are the two components of the placenta?
It includes a fetal portion (CHORIONIC VILLI) derived from TROPHOBLASTS and a maternal portion (DECIDUA) derived from the uterine ENDOMETRIUM.
what vertebrate lacks an allantois?
Fish.
What is the outcome of the allantois?
development of the umbilical cord.
What is produced after 10 turns of the Calvin Cycle?
20 PGAL
Fixed Action Pattern
complex, coordinated innate behavioural responses from environmental stimuli. NOT a reflex.
Pioneer Organisms
inhabit harsh conditions. Eg. Lichens. Mosses usually follow lichens. THen grasses, then ferns, then birches.
Which type of plants have a dominant gametophyte stage?
Bryophytes.
AGH. How do you convert K to C?
Subtract 273.
Compare the relative values of heat of vaporization and heat of fusion?
It takes more energy for liquid to gas than a solid to liquid. Move the particles more or have them bounce around more?
Hyperthyroidism would cause which symptoms?
increased HR, weight loss, protruding eyes. Hypo would cause cold intolerance.
Denitrifying bacteria
converts ammonia to nitrogen gas
Nitrogen Fixing Bacteria
nitrogen gas to nitrates
Nitrifying Bacteria
ammonia or nitrites to nitrates
Forebrain, Midbrain, Hindbrain
Forebrain (Prosencephalon) is the diencephalon (prethalamus, thalamus, hypothalamus, subthalamus, epithalamus, and pretectum) and the telencephalon (cerebrum).
Midbrain (mesencephalon )
Hindbrain (cerebellum, pons, medulla)
Inducible Operon vs Repressible Operon
Inducible = Lac operon. The repressor is constitutively bound until inducer binds to allosteric site. This induces transcription
Repressible = co-repressor binds with repressor to bind to operator to block transcription.
Lewis Acid. Bronsted Acid. Arhennius acid.
Arhennius = Makes protons. Bronsted = Proton Donor Lewis = Electron Acceptor
Lewis, Bronsted, Arhennius Base
Arhennius = OH. Bronsted = H acceptor. Lewis = electron donor (think orgo)
With electricity question, it is a matter of which reaction takes up the most number of electrons.
REDOX reactions please.
What occurs with increased constriction of the efferent arteriole?
Increased filtration rate > the fluid slows down which allows for more reabsorption.
The vasculature of the liver?
The portal vein feeds the liver nutrients from the GI, but it does have its own hepatic artery and vein.
Where is erythropoietin secreted?
kidney
Importance of Ecdysone?
Regulates molting and metamorphosis in insects.
What is the concentration of WBC?
60% - Neutro 25% - Lympho 15% - monocytes 9 - Eusino? 1% - Basophils
Compare urination and drinking for marine and fresh fish.
Fresh = urinate constantly. salt absorbed in gills. dont drink.
Marine = urinate rarely. Isotonic urine. Drink constantly.
Cleavage
The series of mitotic divisions that follow fertilization
What trees are included under Gymnosperms and Angios?
Gymno > Spruce. Pine. Fir.
Angio > Maple, Oak
How do most bacteria reproduce?
Binary Fission
which biome lies below tundra?
Taiga
Where is the ribosome assembled?
Nucleolus

Edward Syndrome
Trisomy 18
Klinefelter
XXY
Cambium

Nucleoside
Sugar and Nitrogen Base
Role of ethylene on plants?
Ripening
role of gibberellins
stem elongation and flowering
When do spindle fibres begin to form and centrioles separate?
Prophase.
Fungi.
Cell wall has chitin. Eukaryotic. Not all are saphro though
