Lecture Test 2 Flashcards
Why is the sun a source of energy?
Plants store it’s radiant energy in the covalent bonds of monosaccharides
Where to we get energy to keep us alive?
Breaking C-C and C-H bonds
Catabolic
Reactions that break bonds
Anabolic
Reactions that make bonds
Oxidation
The loss of electrons by a molecule
Reduction
The gain of electrons by a molecule
ATP
Energy source of a cell
ATP = ADP + energy + PO4
ADP
Empty battery, Charged in mitochondria by cellular respiration
ADP + energy + PO4 = ATP
C6H12O6 + 6O2 =
6CO2 + 6H2O +38 ATP
Glycolysis
Happens in Cytoplasm
Glucose + 2NAD = 2 pyruvic acid + 2 ATP + 2NADH2
NAD functions
Pick up a pair of H atoms that are removed from glucose and takes them to the ETS for further processing.
Anaerobic; NADH2 used to reduce 2 pyruvic acids into lactic acid
Aerobic; in mitochondria 2 pyruvic acids attached to Coenzyme A to become acetyl CoA
NADH2 = 1H2O + 3ATP
Kreb’s Cycle
2 Acetyl CoA drop off an acetyl group and enzymes squeeze energy out
Acetyl group + Oxaloacetic Acid = Citric Acid
2 Acetyl CoA = 6NADH2 + 2FADH2 + 2 ATP + 4CO2
Formation of Acetyl CoA
In Mitocondria
2 Pyruvic Acids = 2 Acetyl CoA + 2NADH2 + 2CO2
Electron Transport System
Proton pumping = Chemiosmosis
Oxygen = terminal electron acceptor of ETS
10NADH2 + 2FADH2 + 4ATP = 10H2O + 38ATP
NADH2 and FADH2 lose H during ETS to become NAD and FAD
FAD functions
FADH2 = 1H2O + 2ATP
DNA bases
Double Stranded Polymer Adenine Guanine Cytosine Thymine
RNA bases
Single Stranded Polymer Adenine Guanine Cytosine Uracil
monomers of DNA and RNA
called nucleotides -phosphate: PO4 -sugar: deoxyribose(DNA), ribose(RNA) -bases AGCT(DNA), AGCU(RNA) sugar phosphate backbone with bases sticking out
DNA replication
During S phase
- DNA unwinds/unzips
- Exposed bases attract their opposites
- DNA polymerase polymerizes new nucleotides to form new strand held to old strand by H bonds, new sugar-phosphate backbone held together by covalent bonds
DNA
-stores instructions for manufacture of all proteins
Gene
Code for 1 protien
Transcription
process of RNA copying off a DNA template
RNA Transcription
- DNA unwinds (1 side transcribed)
- Nucleotides base pair
- RNA polymerase covalently links sugar-phosphate backbone to form a strand of RNA
3 types of RNA
mRNA: The plan, actual instruction for particular protein, made in nucleus of eukaryotes and travels to cytoplasm to work
tRNA: Amino acid bringer, small piece that brings amino acids to the ribosome, has anticodon
rRNA: Part of the assembler, structural part of the ribosome
Exons
when mRNA is spliced, the sections that are kept
Introns
whne mRNA is spliced, the sections that are removed
Codon
mRNA base code for each amino acid
the one that attaches directly to DNA
Anticodon
tRNA base code
the one that attaches to the mRNA
Epithelia Location
cover all body surfaces and line all body cavities.
Epithelia Structure
- has a free side and tissue side
- Basement membrane between epithelia and next tissue
- packed tight, epithelial cells touch
- No blood vessels, receive nutrients from underlying connective tissue
- Mitotically active, they divide alot
Epithelia Function
Varies with type and location
protect, secrete, absorb, excrete, some act as sensory receptors
Epithelia Classifications
Shape: squamous, cuboidal, columnar
Layers: simple, stratified, pseudostratified
Simple Squamous
Function: allow diffusion and filtration
Location: alveoli, blood vessels, kidneys, serous membranes
Simple Cuboidal
Function: Secretion, Absorption
Location: ducts of glands, kidneys
Simple Columnar
Function: protection, secretion(goblet cells), absorption(microvilli aide absorption)
Location: digestive tract from stomach to rectum, uterus
Ciliated simple columnar
Function: Goblet cells make mucous, cilia move them
Location: Uterine/Fallopian tubes
Pseudostratified ciliated columnar
Function: Protection, secretion(goblet cells), movement of mucous
Location: respiratory system
Stratified squamous
2 types: Keratinized(outer layer of skin) and Mucousal (mouth, throat)
Function: protection
Transitional Epithelium
Stretched: looks like stratified squamous
Relaxed: looks like stratified cuboidal
Function: lets organs stretch, protects from urine
Location: bladder, ureters, part of urethra
Glandular Epithelium
Cells that make up glands
Function: secrete
Exocrine glands
secrete outside or into body cavities
Merocrine, Apocrine, Holocrine
i.e. sweat glands, digestive glands, salivary glands
