Q

Reaction formation

A

Reacting the OPPOSITE WAY to how you REALLY feel

(Is a Defense Mechanism)

Ex:

  • Reacting sarcastically (as if you DO know what it is) about something that you really know NOTHING about

Ex:

  • “What? You dont know about astrophysics? You’re a moron! I know everything!!”)

Q

Define “Social Constructionism”

  • Give an example
A

​WE create the world we live in,

and the world we live in creates US

In other words:

Anything that is created is as a result of a social activity

Example:

  • Technology built up by humans with certain values or beliefs

Q

“wobble” in genetic code

A

AA’s coded for by 3 bases (“codons”) in mRNA. A single AA may correspond to several different codons. Third base is BY FAR the most common variation. ex: GGG,GGC most likely code for the same AA.

Q

A _____ at the 5’ position is required for RNA splicing to occur. What happens if you have a different NT?

A

Guanine. If you had a different NT, the exon and intron wouldnt get cleaved, and the intron wont be spliced out from the mRNA transcript

Q

∆G=? What will you always get taking the log of a (positive) decimal less than 1?

A

∆G= -RTln(Keq). taking the log of a positive decimal that’s greater than 1 always gives you a NEGATIVE number. This would make ∆G positive, since there’s a (-) before R

Q
  • Draw Fisher Projections for:
    • D- and L- Glyceraldehyde
      • ​Where are COOH and R groups going to be located?
        • What happens to the D/L config if the only thing you swap is the location of COOH & R groups?
A
  • COOH- and R groups are on TOP and BOTTOM
  • If you swap their positions, it changes D to L and vice versa

Q

Describe the CENTRAL DOGMA in Eukaryotic cells

  • How do Retroviruses VIOLATE this?
A

DNA⇒RNA⇒Proteins

In eukaryotes (organisms with a nuclear membrane):

  • DNA undergoes replication and transcription in the nucleus, and proteins are made in the cytoplasm

RNA must therefore travel across the nuclear membrane before it undergoes translation

  • This means that transcription and translation are PHYSICALLY SEPARATED
  • The primary transcript, heterogeneous nuclear RNA (hnRNA), undergoes extensive post-transcriptional processing to make:
    • a messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule
      • …that can pass through the nuclear membrane

Retro viruses (e.g., HIV) have RNA as their genetic material

  • When infecting host cells, retroviruses use an enzyme called “reverse transcriptase”
    • to produce DNA which is then inserted into the host’s DNA

∴, RNA⇒DNA (Violates Central Dogma)

28
Q
  • In a NEURON, where can HISTONES be found?
A
  • In the SOMA
    • “Soma-“ means “body”
  • ​The Soma is the main portion of the neuron, where the nucleus is
    • ∴ DNA is there
    • ∴ Histones are there as well
29
Q
  • DNA has a _____ charge, and Histones have a_____ charge
  • How does this affect HELICASE?
A
  • DNA has a NEGATIVE charge
  • Histones have a POSITIVE charge

Histones make DNA more neutral, and this allows Helicase to get in an unzip the DNA strands

30
Q

When you see “Methylation,” think?

A

32
Q
  • Insulin vs. Glucagon
    • Which is ANABOLIC?
    • Which is CATABOLIC?
A

Insulin is ANABOLIC

  • (builds up things)

Glucagon is CATABOLIC

  • (breaks things down)
33
Q
  • HIGH affinity transporters are able to uptake their respective molecules at….?
    • In other words when the thing they are transporting is…?
A
  • …at LOW CONCENTRATIONS
    • aka when the thing they are transporting is SCARCE!

Q

Chromatography

  • Hydrophobic Interaction Chromatography (HIC)
