Q

Nucleus

A

Chief executive of cell, DNA in cell contain genes, these store info to produce protein

21
Q

Endomembrane System

A
  1. Nuclear Envelope
  2. ER (endoplasmic reticulum)
  3. Golgi
  4. Lysosomes
  5. Vacuoles
  6. Plasma Membrane
22
Q

Not a part of endomembrane

A
  1. Chloroplasts

2. Mitochondria

23
Q

Laws of Thermodynamics

A
  1. It can be changed from one form to another

2. Each time it converts, some energy is lost as heat

24
Q

ATP

A
  • Stores energy obtained from food
  • Release’s it later as needed
  • Acts as an energy shuttle
25
Cellular respiration
Animals get energy from their food through this process, converts chemical energy into food Glucose + Oxygen →Carbon Dioxide & Water + ATP c6h12o6+6o2 → 6co2+6h2o
26
Photosynthesis
Plants convert solar energy into chemical energy (stored in the bonds of sugars, we consume these molecules as food) Carbon Dioxide + Water → Glucose & oxygen 6co2+6h2o → c6h1206+6o2
27
Function of DNA
Cells genetic blueprint. | DNA is packaged as chromosomes
28
Diploid (2n)
Somatic cell, in mitosis genetically identical
29
Hapolid (1n)
sex cell (gametes), genetically unique
30
Cell cycle
interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, G1, S, G2, cytokinesis Flow of genetic info – DNA→RNA→Protein
31
Transcription
Transfer of genetic information from DNA to RNA (initiation, elongation, termination)
32
Translation
Transfer of info from RNA to protein
33
DNA THIS ---AGTC
TO THIS ---TCAG
34
RNA AAACCGGCAAAA
UUUGGCGUUUU
35
Recombinant DNA
Combine 2 different pieces of DNA from 2 different sources (usually different species) to form a single DNA molecule
36
PCR(Polymerase Chain Reaction)
A segment of DNA can be targeted and copied quickly and precisely
37
GEL electrophoresis
Sorting Molecules by electrical charge and size
38
Gene Therapy
A gene from a normal individual is cloned and inserted into a non-harmful virus, bone marrow cells are taken from infected patient and infected with recombinant virus the virus inserts itself into bad cell.
39
GMO’s
Genetically modified organisms, one or more genes by artificial means
40
Variation
Traits are genetically controlled & vary within populations
41
Inheritance
Genetic traits are inherited and passed to offspring
42
Selection
Organisms with traits that enhance survival live and pass on their genes to the next generation.
43
Time
Evolution takes a long time
44
Genetic Drift
Change in Gene pool due to chance
45
Gene Flow
– a Population may gain or lose alleles when fertile individuals move into or out of an area
46
Natural Selection
1) species produce excessive #’s of offspring | 2) Variation among individuals of a population
47
Major Evolutionary Branch points
* True Tissue s * Body symmetry * Body cavities
48
Major Invertebrates Phyla
* Sponges * Cnidarians * Flatworms * Round worms * Annelids * Arthropods * Molluscs * Echinoderms
49
Vertebrate Evolution and diversity
* Tunicates * Lancelets * Hagfish * Lampreys * Cartilaginous Fish * Boney Fish * Amphibians * Reptiles * Mammals
