Q

wuse a negative feedback loop model to explain how blood glucose levels are maintained

A
  1. eat food, stimulus: rising blood glucose level
  2. high blood glucose level is detected by insulin secreting cells of pancreas
  3. pancreas secretes insulin causing liver to take up glucose and store it as glycogen and cells take up glucose
  4. as body cells take up blood glucose, glucose levels in the blood decline and insulin release stops
  5. return to homeostatic blood glucose level

91
Q

major purpose of pino, receptor mediated endo, phago

A

pino: invaginates and takes stuff from extracellular fluid
receptor: brings in specific molecules cause of the receptor process
endo: to take things out
phago: eats and destroys things

92
Q

how does a lysosome function with pino, receptor med endo, phago

136
Q

why is it that most point mutations in a base result ina funcitional protein without major pathophysiology (there are multiple answers)

A

because it only affects one gene not the whole chromosome (usually the gene mutation just affects like the neding of a protein or switches amino acids)

also most mutations occur in the gray intron areas so even tho on dna its not trascnribed to protein

137
Q

where would one expect to find most mutations between individuals in mRNA

A

in the middle where you do splicing out (the introns)

138
Q

why would one expect to find most mutations between individusl in mrna

A

because that is the begning of the transcription and there are lots of places to remove stuff

cause it decides what becomes a protein

139
Q

what is the directionality of translation of the mrna

A

5’ to 3’

140
Q

what molecule provides most of the neryg to creat the new peptide bonds between the amino acids in the newly formed chain

atp

141
Q

describe a negative feedback mechanism on DNA synthesis

A

purines and pyrimidines are needed in equal amounts for dna synthesis tooccur

purines inhibit enzymes for purine formation and activates enzymes for pyrimidine (opposite of pyrimidine)

142
Q

describe a generic model for negative feedback in enzymatic synthesis of products

A

enzymes help make stuff and as more of that stuff is made,the enzyme is inhibited (allosteric conformational change)

143
Q

describe the stages of the cell cycle, what occurs during each of thediff maor stages

A

G1: normal time of cells
checkpoint: start to build up metabolites
S synthesis stage: everything in cells has doubled, dna replicated
G2 growth 2: everything is priming for division, fixing errors in dna replication
M: cell division

144
Q

how much of the cell’s life cycle is spent in mitosis

A

5%

145
Q

how does dna replication work

A

in the S phase: both strands of DNA is replicated completely and dna is exposed

146
Q

what enzymes are involved in dna replication

A 
dna polymerase
dna ligase (not in rna)
147
Q

how does dna replication differ from transcription

A

its different then transcription because it neds the entire strand replicated and nothing is deleted out and there are 2 strands being developed so there are lil gaps while replicated that are put together

148
Q

would dna ligase act in transcrtion why or why note

A

no because dna ligase puts the pieces of dna together because of the unwinding of the dna makes it hard to make a solid strand of new dna

149
Q

what enzymes are involved in dna proofreading

A

dna ligase and polymerase

150
Q

what happends when dna proofreading fails

A

mutation

151
Q

are the consequences of failed proofreading always dire or mostly negligible

A

causes abnormal proteins , can lead to cell malfunction or cell death

152
Q

majo even in prophase

A

chromosomes are condensed and paired up to form chromatids, centromeres start to line in the poles of the cell

153
Q

major even in prometaphase

A

nucleus envelope dissolves, microtubules legs go out to grab chromatids

154
Q

major event in metaphase

A

chromatids line up

155
Q

major event in anaphase

A

chromatids pulled apart

156
Q

major event in telophase

A

cytokinesis, nuclear envelope forms

157
Q

what is cytokinesis

A

cells pinch off from each other

158
Q

how is a totipotnent stem cell different tha a pluripotent stem cell

A

toitipotent stem cells: have unlimited capability of forming things, ex: embryo
pluripotent: are capable of giving rise to most tissues ex: inner mass cells but not every like toitipotent

159
Q

how is a totipotent sten cell different then a multipotent stem cell

A

toitipotent: anything
multipotent: only give rise to cells with a sepcific function like blood stem cells (the most specific stem cell of htem all)

160
Q

be able to explain how ccervical cancer can be c acused bby hpv. should involve transcription, translation, cell division (proliferation) and apoptosis

A

the virus is a nucleic acid that uses central dogma to start making proteins
hpv 16 and 18 cause it

virus invades cells genomes and becomes rna and prteins. e5-7 come together and get rid of check points in cell division

usually cell kills itself with apoptosis but virus wont let it with the e5-7 proteins

161
Q

what are some of the major ions foundi n higher intracellular concentrations relative to the extracellurlar fluid

A

intra: K+ <—- KNOW mg + phosphate atp, adp, crp

162
Q

what about higher extracell concetrations (whats more ions in extra)

A

Na+ Cl- Ca2+ <—KNOW o2

163
Q

what are some of the charges on these ions (intra and extra)

A

mainly + except for Cl- (extra)

there are some proteins with - charge intra

164
Q

charges of other molecules intra and esxtra

A

proteins - in intracellular

165
Q

what type of energy source fules the diffeusion of molecules

Why can’t ions pass through these channels

A

hydration shell (water around ions) make it too big

172
Q

What must happen for a K+ ion to become small enough to travel through a leaky K+ channel? How does this occur?

A

they have to strip their hydration shell (by the integral channel) once gets into cytosol, the hydration molecules attach back
