Q

how is membrane fluidity regulated? (3)

A
  1. cells change the saturation of fatty acids
    - saturated = straight
    - unsaturated = “kinked”
    - unsaturated allows for more space between fatty acids = more fluid
  2. cells change cholesterol amount in membranes
    - cholesterol acts as a fluidity buffer
    - bulky molecule = increases fluidity
    - planar nature of rings prevent movement = lower fluidity
  3. temperature
    - high temp - more fluid

Q

why can only non polar molecules cross the membrane?

A

because non polar things are hydrophobic, things must be hydrophobic to cross

the membrane is impermeable to polar and charged things

35
Q

isotonic

A

a solution with the same concentration as as cell in it

36
Q

hypertonic

A

solution outside of the cell has a higher solute concentration compared to the inside

37
Q

crenate

A

when a red blood cell shrinks due to osmosis in a hypertonic solution

38
Q

hypotonic

A

solution outside of the cell has a lower concentration compared to in the cell

water will move into the cell, and the cell will lyse (hemolysis in RBCs)

39
Q

hemolysis

A

when a red blood cell lyses or bursts

40
Q

how to calculate if a solution is hyper, hypo, or isotonic

A
  1. add all percentages of ALL solutes (osmolarity)
  2. compared and determine what the environment is
  3. determine outcome of situation
41
Q

osmolarity and what it determines

A

osmolarity is the total solute concentration of a solution, and it determines tonicity

A

a cell with only 1 set of chromosomes

metaphase
anaphase (cytokinesis starts)
telophase

66
Q

meiosis 1

A

homologous chromosomes are segregated

crossing over happens, and recombination occurs to create genetic diversity

homologous chromosomes align at equatorial plate and separate

we are left with two nonidentical cells with a haploid set of chromosomes

67
Q

meiosis 2

A

sister chromatids are segregated

chromosomes align at plate

chromosomes split

we are left with 4 nonidentical cells with a haploid set of chromosomes

68
Q

tetrads form by synapsis of sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes

crossing over between non sister chromatids occurs

genetic recombination occurs

69

A

homologous chromosomes align at equatorial plate

70
Q

anaphase 1

A

separation of homologous chromosomes

71
Q

telophase 1

A

cell splits

nuclear envelops form

creates two haploid cells

72
Q

prophase 2

A

nuclear envelops dissolve

mitotic spindle starts to form

NO interphase between 1 and 2

73
Q

metaphase 2

A

chromosomes align at equatorial plate

74
Q

anaphase 2

A

chromosomes are pulled to either side

cytokinesis starts

75
Q

telophase 2
