42
light dependent reactions
Light-dependent reactions convert light energy into chemical energy as ATP and NADPH, releasing oxygen from water.
43
light independent reactions
Light-independent reactions (the Calvin cycle) use ATP and NADPH to fix carbon dioxide into glucose.
44
what is regenerated in the calvin cycle
RuBP
45
In what form is CO2 most predominantly transported in the blood?
bicarbonate HCO3-
Carbon dioxide (CO2) dissolves in the blood and is then converted by the enzyme carbonic anhydrase into carbonic acid (H2CO3), which quickly dissociates into H+ (proton) and HCO3- (bicarbonate).
Although CO2 is soluble in blood and can be carried in blood plasma, only a small amount of CO2 in the body is carried this way.
46
carboxyhemoglobin
Carboxyhemoglobin is formed when hemoglobin binds to carbon monoxide (CO).
47
rquirements for hardy weinberg equation
Large populations
Minimizes the effects of genetic drift, which can cause random changes in allele frequencies
Random mating
Ensures that alleles combine randomly without influence from allele-dependent selection, maintaining genetic diversity
No mutation
Prevents changes in allele frequencies due to alterations in the genetic code, which could introduce new alleles
No natural selection
Ensures that all genotypes have equal ability to survive and reproduce, preventing changes in allele frequencies due to differential survival or reproduction
No migration
Avoids gene flow that can alter allele frequencies by introducing or removing alleles from the population
48
what is the hardy weinberg equilibrium
Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium describes a hypothetical state in which allele and genotype frequencies in a sexually reproducing population remain constant from generation to generation, assuming that no evolutionary influences act upon the population.
49
In what order will the following structures pellet during centrifugation, from first to last
nucleus
mitochondria and lysosomes
ribosomes
50
cell fractionation
Cell fractionation is a lab technique used to separate cellular components through centrifugation. The process involves LYSING cells in a tube to release the contents and then spinning the tube at high speeds.
51
centrifugation
Centrifugation separates the cellular components by density, size, and shape. The nucleus is the largest and most dense organelle and thus will pellet first.
52
neuromuscular junction
the intersection of a motor neuron and muscle fiber; it couples a neuronal action potential to muscle contraction.
53
Release of calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum
During muscle contraction, calcium ions are released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum into the cytoplasm, triggering the interaction between actin and myosin filaments that results in contraction. The release of calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum occurs after muscle cell depolarization; it does not couple the electrical signal to the muscle's contraction.
Calcium is stored in the sarcoplasmic reticulum of the postsynaptic cell.
54
fermentation energy production
Fermentation only produces 2 ATP per molecule of glucose during glycolysis, which is much less than the 36-38 ATP per molecule of glucose that is produced from aerobic respiration. This is because the electron transport chain produces the bulk of ATP during aerobic respiration, which depends on oxygen to serve as the final electron acceptor.
55
what can be used to label DNA and proteins
Sulfur is not found in DNA. Instead, 35S can be used to label proteins because proteins contain sulfur within their disulfide bonds.
DNA's structure features a sugar-phosphate backbone, making the radioactive isotope 32P ideal for tracking DNA, especially because it is not found in substantial amounts in other biomolecules.
56
where are juxtaglomerular cells found
Juxtaglomerular cells, located near the glomerulus of the kidney's nephrons, detect blood pressure within the afferent arteriole.
57
when is cotrisol released
prolonged stress
58
when would we decrease urine production
Normal RAAS activity would decrease urine production via the production of antidiuretic hormone. However, if the juxtaglomerular cells are damaged, there would be increased urine production due to reduced RAAS activity.
59
What principle states that two species competing for the same niche will be unable to successfully coexist?
competitive exclusion
known as gauses law
60
niche
A niche is a species' unique position and role within its ecosystem, defining how it interacts with its environment and other species to survive and reproduce successfully.
61
Apparent competition
Apparent competition occurs when two species share a common predator, and an increase in the population of one prey species leads to an increase in the predator population. This increased predator population then leads to a decrease in the second prey species population due to increased predation because of the greater number of predators. The two prey species are indirectly competing in apparent competition via the shared predator.
62
Which of the following structures secretes a hormone that lowers blood glucose levels by stimulating glucose uptake in the body's cells?
pancreas
63
what hormones does the kidney secrete
The kidneys are organs in the excretory system. They secrete two hormones: erythropoietin (EPO), which stimulates red blood cell production, and renin, which regulates blood pressure.
64
what happens in the rough ER
folding and modifiaction of proteins being secreted
65
viral vs bacterial genome
Viruses can have RNA or DNA genomes, whereas bacteria have DNA genomes.
both RNA and DNA are made of nucleic acids
66
viral cell walls
they dont have cell walls they have capsids made of subunits called capsomeres
67
viruses are membrane bound organelles
they dont have any
68
allopatric speciation
Allopatric speciation is a mechanism through which a single ancestor species is separated into two populations by a geographical barrier and evolves into different species.
69
which kingdoms are entirely heterotrophic
anamalia and fungi
70
where do natural killer cells originate from
the bone marow
71
where are monocytes proliferating
bone marrow
72
difference between habitat development and ecological succession
While habitats (abiotic) are specific environments suited for living organisms, and their development is part of ecological succession, succession also involves shifts in species populations (biotic).
73
enviromental disruption
Environmental disruptions are catastrophes that destabilize ecosystems and diminish biodiversity. Ecological succession often follows environmental disruptions
74
hypothalamus and posterior pituitary
The posterior pituitary gland is a direct extension of the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus produces antidiuretic hormone (ADH, also known as vasopressin) and oxytocin, which are stored and released by the posterior pituitary.
the posteroior pituitary STORES and releases hormones
75
what does the golgi modify pakcage and sort
lipid and proteins
76
where does steroid hormone synth take place
primarily in the cells of the adrenal cortex and gonads.
77
R factors
R-factors (or R-plasmids) are plasmids that contain antibiotic-resistance genes. If a colony of bacteria has an increased number of R-factors, it suggests the colonizing bacteria are developing antibiotic resistance.
78
f plasmid
The F-plasmid, or fertility plasmid, is a specific plasmid that gives bacteria the ability to undergo conjugation. This plasmid carries genes necessary for the formation of the sex pilus and the initiation of the conjugation process. The F-plasmid does not necessarily contain antibiotic-resistance genes.
79
cyanobacteria photosynthesis
internally, they contain specialized structures called thylakoids (where photosynthesis occurs), which resemble the thylakoid membranes found in chloroplasts.
80
what supports endosymbiotic thoery
This internal resemblance between the thylakoids of cyanobacteria and the chloroplast's thylakoid membrane supports the endosymbiotic theory. According to this theory, photosynthetic eukaryotes evolved when a primitive eukaryotic cell engulfed a photosynthetic bacterium, which then became the chloroplast.
