Aldosterone
- effect on Na+, K+ H+, and H2O
- secreted by
- is regulated by
- triggered by … in the
- what kind of hormone is it?
Aldosterone:
- stimulates Na+ reabsorption, K+ and H+ secretion,
- increases water reabsorption, blood volume, and blood pressure
- secreted by adrenal cortex
- regulated by the renin- angiotensin-aldosterone system
Steroid hormone
Triggered by low blood volume in the afferent arteriole
Increaes Na+-K+ pump activity
Increases blood volume
ADH (Vasopressin)
- function
- affect on H2O
- secreted from where and in response to what?
- what kind of hormone is it?
Increases collecting duct’s permeability to water to increase water reabsorption
• Is secreted from posterior pituitary with high [solute] in the blood
Peptide hormone
triggered by high plasma osmolarity
Opens aquaporins; reduces plasma osmolarity

TRP operon
is repressible (normally on, but can be turned off)
impact on Km- mixed
increases = prefer enzyme decreases = prefer complex
sucrose is also known as
glucose-α-1,2-fructose
lactose is also known as
galactose-β-1,4-glucose
maltose is also known as
glucose-α-1,4 glucose
Euchromatin
less dense, transcriptionally active dNA
Central dogma
DNA -> RNA -> proteins
Explain the difference between primary and secondary active transport
primary uses ATP while secondary uses existing ion gradients
