31
Q

Phagocytosis

A

Transport of large molecules into cell; type of endocytosis; e.g. Pathogen removal

32
Q

Pinocytosis

A

Transport of fluid particles into cell; type of endocytosis; “cellular drinking”

33
Q

Simple diffusion

A

Ion diffuses across membrane due to concentration gradient; spontaneous

34
Q

Facilitated diffusion

A

Requires gradient and protein to cross membrane; spontaneous

35
Q

Primary active transport

A

Requires energy to move ions against gradient via protein

36
Q

Secondary active transport

A

Pump creates gradient via energy, gradient used to pump different molecules against their gradient either into or out of cell; e.g. Symporters and antiporters

37
Q

Nernst equation

A

Voltage required to oppose the force of concentration gradient on single ion

38
Q

4 contributors to resting membrane potential

A

1) Na influx 2) K efflux 3) na/k pump = 3 k out and 2 Na in 4)negative proteins

39
Q

A

Spherical organelle which contains degradative enzymes

40
Q

A

Attached to AA monomer and assist in protein synthesis with mRNA and ribosomes

50
Q

Glycolysis

A

Glucose to net 2x pyruvate, 2x ATP, 2x NADH; anaerobic; 10 steps; if oxygen present produces pyrurate, if NO oxygen present produces lactate = no CAC

2x pyrurate to 2x AcetylCoA, 2x carbon dioxide, 2x NADH; occurs in mito matrix

52
Q

CAC/Krebs

A

2x AcetylCoA through 8 step process to ‘ produce 6x NADH, 2x FADH2, 4x carbon dioxide, 6x water, 2x ATP; technically anaerobic but if no oxygen then no pyruvate = no AcetylCoA; occurs in mitochondrial matrix

58
Q

Mitosis

A

Cell duplication; prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase,cytokinesis

59
Q

Prophase

A

Nucleus dissipates, chromosomes condense, spindle forms

60
Q

Prometaphase

A

Spindle begins to attach and move chromosomes; nuclear envelope breaks; chromosomes condensed fully

61

62
Q

Anaphase

A

Daughter chromosomes polled to opposite poles of cell

63
Q

Telophase

A

Chromosomes uncoil; spindle breaks down; nuclear envelopes form

64
Q

Cytokinesis

A

Cell division; 2 daughter cells; begins during anaphase or telophase; finishes after telophase; contractile ring pinches together

65
Q

Primary functions of nervous system

A

Receive info about environment; process info; respond to info

66

Exit brain

67
Q

afferent

A

At brain (towards)

68
Q

A

Part of autonomic of CNS that is rest and digest; acetylcholine

72
Q

Visceral sensory

A

Input from organs

73
