Q

what is put together of ribosomes in the nucleolus

A

After synthesis, rRNA is combined with ribosomal proteins to form ribosome subunits (60S and 40S) within the nucleolus. These subunits are then exported to the cytoplasm, where they assemble to form a functional eukaryotic ribosome (80S).

Q

epiphyseal growth plate

A

The epiphyseal growth plate consists of a layer of cartilage present during growth (i.e., birth to the end of puberty). Here, the cartilage lengthens in response to growth factors.

The cartilage matrix then ossifies (becomes bone) as the cartilage is calcified and replaced with bone tissue. This growth adds to the length of the bone.

Q

diaphysis

A

The diaphysis of a long bone is the long, hollow shaft between the epiphyses. Growth from the epiphyseal plate extends the diaphysis, but growth does not originate here.

Diaphysis is the term for the shaft of a long bone that contains yellow bone marrow in adults. Yellow bone marrow is responsible for the production of fat and bone, as well as fat storage.

Q

alcohol fermentation

A

However, in the absence of oxygen, yeast will undergo alcohol (ethanol) fermentation. In alcohol fermentation, the two pyruvates from glycolysis are decarboxylated to produce two acetaldehydes, which are then reduced by NADH to produce two molecules of ethanol. Acetaldehyde acts as the final electron acceptor in alcohol fermentation. In this process, NADH is oxidized back to NAD+. This ensures that a sufficient supply of NAD+ is available for glycolysis to continue, allowing the cell to keep producing ATP.

Q

glucose regulation of the lac operon

A

Catabolite activator protein (CAP) is an activator of the lac operon that is turned on by cAMP.

When glucose levels are high, cAMP levels are low because these two are inversely related. Low levels of cAMP reduce CAP activation. As a result, the lac operon is not fully activated, leading to low levels of transcription.

When glucose levels are low and cAMP levels are high, the cAMP-CAP complex binds to the CAP promoter site. This promotes transcription if the operon is not repressed.

Q

what stimulates cck release

A

fats

Cholecystokinin is a hormone that signals the gallbladder to release bile and the pancreas to release its digestive enzymes, such as pancreatic lipase. It also decreases the motility of the stomach to provide more time for the duodenum to digest fat.

in angiosperms One sperm fertilizes the egg cell to form the zygote. The second sperm fertilizes the polar nuclei to form the endosperm. The endosperm stores nutrients for the seed.
29
oxidative deamination
If amino acids are going to be used as a fuel source for cellular respiration, they must undergo oxidative deamination first in the liver. Here, ammonia (NH3) molecules are removed from the amino acid so it can be used in cellular respiration.

in the nucleas
79
functional unit of muscle
sacromere
80
myofibrils
make up muscle fibres and are made of sarcomeres linked end to end
81
fibronectin
Fibronectin is a glycoprotein found in the ECM that binds to integrins. These fibronectin-integrin connections pass extracellular signals from the ECM to integrins. Even though fibronectin helps in signal transduction, it is not a transmembrane protein.
82
nitric oxide
When nitric oxide (NO) is produced, it activates the formation of cyclic GMP (a secondary messenger). Activated cGMP relaxes smooth muscle cells, causing blood vessels to dilate, which reduces blood pressure.
83
IP3 pathway
In response to a membrane-signaling molecule, phospholipase C is activated and cleaves PIP2 into two fragments: DAG and IP3. These fragments can both act as secondary messengers. DAG stays in the plasma membrane and can activate protein kinase C (PKC), allowing PKC to phosphorylate its targets. IP3 diffuses into the cytoplasm and binds to ligand-gated calcium channels in the endoplasmic reticulum, releasing Ca2+
84

emulsifies fats to lipases can digest them
85
DNA microarray

90
genetic drift
bottleneck founder effect random changes in allele frequencies. The founder effect (a type of genetic drift) occurs when a small number of migrating individuals express different allele frequencies from the original population.
91
gene flow
Gene flow involves the transfer of alleles between populations due to the migration of individuals. This transfer typically results from interbreeding among different populations, introducing genetic variation
92
types of sympatric speciation
genetic mutations, sexual selection, or ecological niches
93
examples of parasitic diseases
malaria trichinosis
94
examples of fungal diseases

95
citrate rearrangements
During these rearrangements, citrate will lose two of its carbon atoms as two carbon dioxide molecules. NAD⁺ undergoes reduction to form NADH each time a carbon dioxide leaves. The remaining four-carbon molecule then progresses through the remainder of the Krebs cycle, generating ATP, FADH2, and more NADH before reentering the beginning of the cycle.
96
chemosynthesizers
