44
Q

gram positive bacteria

A

Petidoglycan is in the outside and peptidoglycan is linkage occurs through a short interbridge

45
Q

What makes petidoglyan a good target for vaccines

A

It is because humans don’t have the functional groups that are in peptidogylcan

Q

What is cell-cell recognition

A

Cell identify others cells as self

Q

What is cell-cell signaling

A

Communication between other cells

51
Q

What is the izumo and juno example of cell identification.

A

During the process of a sperm cell trying to locate an egg cell, there is a glycoprotein on the surface of the sperm cell that pairs up with Juno glycoprotein and after fusion occurs

52
Q

What are lipids

A

carbon containing compounds that are insoluble in water

53
Q

Why are Lipids insoluble

A

They are soluble due to high proprtion of nonpolarhydrocarbons

54
Q

What causes lipids to store more energy

A

Lack of polar bonds between OH cause to store more energy (have more potential energy.

55
Q

What are fatty acids

A

hydrocarbon bonds bonded to carboxyl group, they have 14-20 carbon atoms and can be saturated or unsaturated

56
Q

What are saturated fats?

A

They are hydrocarbon chains consisting only between single bonds between carbon

57
Q

What are unsaturated fats?

A

They are hydrocarbon chains consisting of one or more double bond

58
Q

What are Polyunsaturated acids

A

They have more double bonds

59
Q

What state are saturated and unsaturated fats in?

A

Saturated fats are solid and unsaturated fats are liquid.

60

A

Bulky four like ring structures.

61
Q

how do steroids differ from each other?

A

they have different functional groups

62

A

Esther linkage

64
Q

Composition of Triglycerides

A

Consists of three fatty acids linked to glycerol.

65
Q

Compared to glycerol how much more energy does Triglycerides have than glycerol.

A

Triglycerides have twice as much energy as glycerol due to large number of high energy bonds

66
Q

How do fats form?

A

A dehydration reaction between a hydroxyl group of one glycerol and a carboxyl group of one free fatty acid.

67
Q

What is a dehydration reaction?

A

A dehydration reaction is a reaction that results in a loss of water

69
Q

What makes phospholipdids unique?

A

It has a hydrophilic head and a hydrophobic tail.

70
Q

What does Amphitatic mean?

A

It means something that is both hydrophilic and hydrophobic

71
Q

What does a phospolipid being Amphitatic allow it to do

A

It gives a selective permeability property meaning : smaller non polar molecules move easily across membrane while larger polar molecules move slowly or not at all.

72
Q

what is diffusion

A

Spontaneous movement of molecules across gradient.

73
Q

What is concentration gradient

A

A difference in solution concentration

74
Q

net movement

A

movement from high concen to low concen

75
Q

Equilibrium

A

when molecules are randomly disturbed throughotu solution, no net movement

76
Q

What is osmosis?

A

Water moving across bilayers

77
Q

hypertonic solution

A

Outside solution with higher concentration

78
Q

Hypotonic solution

A

Outside solution has a lower concentration

79
Q

Isotionic solution

A

Equal amount of concentration

80
Q

What are ion channels?

A

They are specalized membrane proteins the form opening or pores which allow ions to cross membrances

81
Q

what is an electrochemical gradient:

A

Occur shwne ions build up one one side of the plasma membrane

82
Q

How do ions diffuse

A

They diffuse down there electrochemical gradient(from higher concen to to lower concen)

83
Q

How are channels descibed

A

They are very selctive each channel protei permit only particular type of ion or small molecule to pass through it

84
Q

how is movement regulated

A

IF the inside of the memrbne is negatively charged relative to the outside of the nucleus, channel is closed, if assymetry is reveresed chanel opens

85
Q

What are gated chanels

A

channels that open or close in response to a a signal( change in electrical voltage across membrane

86
Q

What does cystic fribrosis affect

A

It affects cells that produce mucus, sweat and digestive juices, secretion become concetrated clogging pathways

87
Q

What is Cystic fibrosis caused by?

A

It is caused by a mutation in the transmembrane protein (CFTR) cystic fibrosis condulance transmemebrane protein

88
Q

What happens in when CFTR is mutated vs when its normal

A

In normal when activated by ATP the channel opens and allows chloride ions to move across the mebrane, in mutants the channel does not open up, preventing the movement of Chloride ions and water, which causes mucus to build up on the lung eptihelium.

89
Q

Why is CFTR so common

A

Because there are over a 1000 mutant alleles and a carrier of one mute allele can fight some infectious dieases and be more rsisited, and it takes two mutant alleles to cause someone to suffer from Cystic fibrosis
