Q

Diacylglycerol (DAG) and inositol triphosphate (IP3)

A

secondary messengers used in signal transduction. DAG/IP3 binds to calcium channels on the endoplasmic reticulum. This triggers the activation and opening of these calcium channels, releasing Ca2+ into the cytosol.

Q

epigenetics

A

the study of cellular traits that are heritable to daughter cells, despite the fact that they do not involve alterations in the DNA sequence. Environmental factors (e.g., diet) are not capable of altering the DNA sequence itself; rather, they influence epigenetics.

pancrease
27
Which feature of mitochondria and chloroplasts that supports the endosymbiotic theory?
Mitochondria and chloroplasts both possess their own circular DNA without histone proteins separate from the rest of the eukaryotic cell, similar to prokaryotes. Mitochondria and chloroplasts have different ribosomes that are more similar to prokaryotes than eukaryotes Mitochondria and chloroplasts reproduce independently of the host cell through binary fission. Mitochondria and chloroplasts have a double bilayer membrane, which could have resulted from one prokaryote engulfing another prokaryote through endocytosis, forming a vesicle. The thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts resemble the photosynthetic membranes of cyanobacteria, which are autotrophic bacteria.
28
what produces complement proteins
hepatocytes
29
what regulates body temperature
In the circulatory system, vasoconstriction and vasodilation can occur in response to thermoregulatory needs. However, the lymphatic system does not contribute to body temperature regulation.
30
do lacteals absort fats or proteins
FATS NOT PROTEINS lacteals are in the small intestine
31
chromosome translocation
A chromosome translocation is when a series of nucleotides are removed from one chromosome and attached to a different chromosome.
32
Prokaryotic organisms can be further divided into the domains of
eubacteria and archaea (also known as archaebacteria). archaebacteria can be extremophiles
33
what synthesizes lipids
The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is responsible for the synthesis of lipids and steroid hormones, as well as cell detoxification.
34
does the vegetal or animal pole contain more yolk
the vegetal pole
35
what does yolk do to cleavage
After fertilization of an egg, the resulting zygote will undergo cleavage, which is rapid cellular division. Yolk serves to slow the cleavage furrow. The result is that while cytokinesis is being completed on the vegetal pole of the egg, another series of cell divisions has already begun on the animal pole.
36
meroblastic cleavage
partial cleavage in parts of the embryo- unevel division in embryos with lots of yolk
37
Electrical impulses will move fastest through a
myelinated thick nerve fibre Myelin sheaths are fatty membranes that insulate nerve fibers, and they are separated by nodes of Ranvier. Electrical impulses jump from one node of Ranvier to the next, significantly speeding up the signal compared to unmyelinated nerves. Thick (i.e., larger diameter) nerve fibers have less resistance to the flow of ions across the nerve. This allows the speed of conduction to be faster in thicker nerves.
38
products of light dependednt reactions of photosynth
NADPH ATP O2
39
order of stages in pre embryonic development
zygote cleavage morule blastocyst implantation
40
morula
solid ball of 16-32 cells called blastomeres
41
blastula
As the morula travels towards the uterus, the cells continue to divide until it forms a hollow ball of cells called the blastula with a liquid-filled cavity called the blastocoel In humans, the blastula then divides further to form two layers: the trophoblast and inner cell mass. Once the inner cell mass has formed, the blastula is now considered the blastocyst. (Note, in humans, the blastocyst is the sole term for this structure. ‘Blastula’ is not a term used during human embryonic development).
42
what implants itself in the endometrium
the blastocyst- has a tropoblast outer layer and an inner cell mass that is surrounded by blastoceol

phenotype ratio for dihybrid cross
9:3:3:1
70
function of intermediate fillaments
structural support
71
function of cytoplasmic streaming
move organelles and omlecules through cytoplasm on microfillament tracks
72
diff of recemptor mediated endocytosis and phagocytosis
In contrast to receptor-mediated endocytosis, which often engulfs dissolved materials, phagocytosis is a type of endocytosis by which a cell engulfs undissolved materials. This process is also called cellular "eating" because the cell membrane projects outward and wraps around solid particles to internalize them. It does not rely on receptors?
73
what breaks the law of independent assortment
linked genes
74
what covers the surface of cortical bone
periosteum- fibrous protectice membrane It is tightly attached to the underlying cortical bone by collagen fibers and is richly innervated and vascular. The periosteum provides bone with nourishment and sensation.
75
endosteum
single layer membrane betwen crotical and cancellous bone
76
when are organelles replicated
G2
77
what causes the slow and fast block
fusion of the sperm and egg membrane
78
what is the function of crotical granules in eggs
The cortical granules harden to form an impenetrable fertilization envelope around the outside of the plasma membrane of the egg. Cortical granules also signal proteases to separate the vitelline membrane (i.e., zona pellucida in mammals) from the plasma membrane of the egg.
79
what triggers the release of hydrolytic enzymes from the sperm acrosome,
sperm binding to receptors on vitelline layer - this allows it to digest the zona pellucida
80
what plants is an ovule found in- what does it become
in gymnosperms and angiosperms and forms in to the seed once fertilized
81
what occurs in the mitochonrial matrix
pyruvate decarboxylation citric acid cycle beta oxidation
82
within a niche
an inverse relationship between the successful and unsuccessful species is expected
83
where are androgens synth
primarily in testes and secondarily by adrenal gland and ovaries
84
function of 5' cap
A cap is added to the 5' end of the pre-mRNA, protecting the mRNA from degradation. It will assist in ribosome binding during translation.
85
fucntion of poly a tail
A sequence of many adenine nucleotides (poly means many; A means adenine) is added to the 3' end of the mRNA, which helps stabilize the mRNA and signals for its export from the nucleus to the cytoplasm.
86
when does post transcriptional modification happen
before export out of the nucleus
87
types of granulocytes
neutrophils eosinophils mast cells basophils
88
chemosynthesis
Chemosynthesis is a process used by some prokaryotes to generate energy and produce food by oxidizing inorganic chemicals. Fungi obtain their energy and nutrients by breaking down organic material, making them heterotrophs, not chemosynthesizers
89
functinon of light dependent reactions
conevring light energy to energy stored in chemical bonds (making ATP and NADH and o2)
90
where do light independent reactinss occur
stroma
91
stroma lamellae
The stroma lamellae are the structures that connect thylakoids and are responsible for carrying out cyclic photophosphorylation. This process recycles electrons in the electron transport chain, producing more ATP.
92
thylakoid lumen
The thylakoid lumen is the thylakoid's internal fluid where photolysis occurs. Photolysis is the light-energy-powered process in which water molecules are split into oxygen, protons, and electrons. The thylakoid lumen serves as a temporary H+ reservoir that powers ATP-synthase during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis.
93
what increases blood glucose levels
Glucagon and cortisol increase blood glucose levels by stimulating liver, fat, and muscle cells to release stored glucose. Glucagon is secreted by the alpha cells of the pancreas, whereas cortisol is secreted by the adrenal cortex.
94
diff bw T3 and T4
T3 is the active form of the thyroid hormone—it is around 4x more potent than T4. T4 is the main circulating form of the thyroid hormone, as it has a longer half-life and is more stable in the blood. T4 is a prohormone for T3, meaning that T4 is converted to T3 in body tissues.
95
what activates trypsinogen
enteropeptides from small intestine trypsinogen is secretes from pancreas as a result of chyme entering duodenum and CCK being reelased
96
where is acetlcholenesterase found
in the synapses of cells using acetylcholine
97
what secretes pepsin
chief cells in stomach
