week 6 Flashcards
is a liquid that is a homogeneous
mixture of substances.
solution
is the dissolving agent of a solution
solvent
is the substance that is dissolved.
solute
aqueous solution
is one in which water is
the solvent
substance is one that does
not have an affinity for water.
hydrophobic
hydrophilic
substance is one that has an
affinity for water.
template strand
the strand of the DNA double helix
used to make messenger RNA
the
strand of the DNA that is
complementary to the template strand
coding strand
the enzyme that
synthesises
RNA
from the DNA template
RNA polymerase
information for a trait passed from parent to offspring
gene
alternate forms of a gene
alleles
homozyguous
having 2 of the same allele
heterozygous
having 2 different alleles
total set of alleles of an individua
genotype
outward appearance of an individual
phenotype
Mendel’s 1st Law of Inheritance
principle of segregation
Principle of Independent Assortment
Mendel’s 2
nd
Law of Inheritance
ligand
the signaling molecule
receptor protein
the molecule to which the
receptor binds
intracellular receptor
intracellular receptor
located within the cell
cell surface receptor
or
membrane
receptor
located on the plasma
membrane to bind a ligand outside the cell
Reception
a signal molecule binds to a receptor
protein, causing it to change shape
signal transduction
:
the events within the cell that
occur in response to a signal
The three stages of cell signalling:
reception, – transduction, – and response
ion channel linked receptors – ion channel that opens in response to a ligand 2. Enzyme linked receptors- receptor tyrosine kinases – receptor is an enzyme that is activated by the ligand 3. G protein-coupled receptors – a G- protein (bound to GTP) assists in transmitting the signal
There are 3 subclasses of membrane
receptors:
After glucose enters a cell, insulin binding to its
receptor triggers enzymatic activity that: (3 things)
Catalyzes the oxidation of glucose for ATP production
–
Polymerizes glucose to form glycogen
–
Converts glucose to fat (particularly in adipose tissue)
a series of protein
kinases that phosphorylate each other in
succession
kinase cascade
mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases
are activated by kinase cascades
hydrophobic messengers
steroid and thyroid hormones of animals.
steroid hormones
-have a nonpolar, lipid-soluble structure
-can cross the plasma membrane to a
steroid receptor
-usually affect regulation of gene expression
what blocks the receptor from binding to DNA until the hormone is present
inhibitor blocks
steroid receptor has 3 functional domains
- hormone-binding domain
- DNA binding domain
- domain that interacts with coactivators to
affect gene expression
Cell-to-Cell Interactions
Cells can identify each other by cell surface
markers.
tight junctions
create sheets of cells
anchoring junctions
connect the
cytoskeletons of adjacent cells
communicating junctions
permit small molecules to pass between cells a. gap junctions – in animal cells b. plasmodesmata – in plant cells
Protein phosphatases
remove
the
phosphates from proteins, a process called
dephosphorylation.
This phosphorylation and dephosphorylation
system acts as
a molecular switch, turning
activities on and off.
Cyclic AMP
cAMP
is one of the most widely
used second messengers.
Adenylyl cyclase
an enzyme in the plasma
membrane, converts ATP to cAMP in
response to an extracellular signal.
Scaffolding proteins
are large relay proteins
to which other relay proteins are attached.
Apoptosis
is programmed or controlled cell
suicide.
Apoptosis can be triggered by:
–
an extracellular death-signalling ligand,
–
DNA damage in the nucleus,
–
or protein misfolding in the endoplasmic reticulum.
how man barr bodies in females ?
1
the three components of the cell theory
- all organisms are composed of cells
- cells are the smallest living things
- cells arise only from preexisting cells
what is: enclosed by a membrane,use dna as genetic info, are about reproduction, repair, growth
Cells
what conduct chemical proceses and are energy creators
enzymes
domain bacteria and archaea ?
Prokaryotes
domain eukarya ? are
Eukayotic
single celled and communites have no nucleus have an simple internal structure 0.5-5 um (do have sex)
prokaryotes
unicellular or multicellular have nucleus 10-100um
Eukaryotes
scientists classify many bacterial species into gram positive and gram negative (negative = more likely to be antibiotic resistant)
Gram stain
what is apart of the endomembrance system(a series of membrance throughtout cytoplasm, regulates protein traffic and performs metabolic functions in the cell)
- endoplasmic rectilum
- golgi apparatus
- lysosomes
smooth endoplasmic rectilum lacks or does not lack ribosomes ?
lacks ribosomes
______ enzymes to break down macromolecules, destroy cells of foreign matter that the cell has engulfed by pagocytosis
Lysosomes
in plants what turns fats into carbohydrates
glyoxysomes
what is the relationship when one cell engulfs a second cell
it is symbiotic this is the process of endosymbiosis
