Q

what does electron transport chain explain?

A

mechanism of ATP synthesis

during oxidative phosphorylation, which is the final stage of cellular respiration, the ETC creates a proton gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane. this gradient drives the synthesis of ATP through the action of ATP synthase

Q

antigens

Q

lymphatic vessels

A
  • help transport a clear fluid called lymph throughout the body
  • help maintain fluid balance, remove toxins and cellular waste, and support immune response by filtering out harmful substances

31
Q

where do the lymphatic vessels of the body empty lymph into the bloodstream at?

A

subclavian veins (located near the collarbone area)

32
Q

where do the lymphatic vessels of the body empty lymph into the bloodstream at?

A

subclavian veins (located near the collarbone area)

33
Q

pre-capillary sphincters

A

adjust the flow of blood in the capillaries, by constricting and contracting, based on tissue needs

34
Q

difference b/w capillaries, arteries, and veins

A

capillaries: responsible for the exchange of substances between blood and tissues

arteries: carry oxygenated blood away from the heart

veins: carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart

35
Q

osmotic pressure

A

pressure exerted by a solution when it is separated by a semi-permeable membrane from pure water

36
Q

respiratory surfaces exhibit which characteristic?

A

permeability

(respiratory surfaces, such as alveoli in the lungs, must be permeable to allow the exchange of gases through diffusion)

37
Q

gram-negative bacterial cell wall

A

a protective outer layer that some types of bacteria have

  • protect bacteria and help maintain its shape
  • consists of 2 layers
38
Q

gram-positive vs. gram-negative bacteria

A

gram-positive: often associated with infections like throat infections, pneumonia, and certain types of food poisoning

gram-negative: linked to infections like urinary tract infections, respiratory infections, and some gastrointestinal infections

39
Q

Nitrifying bacteria

A

special types of bacteria that help turn harmful substances called ammonia and nitrite into safer forms called nitrate

40
Q

each human testes contains _______ lobules

A

250-300 lobules

lobules = small compartments for responsible for producing and storing sperm

Q

what is NOT found in skeletal muscle fibers in human

A

large amount of hemoglobin

45
Q

hinge joint

A

type of joint that allows movement in just one direction, back and forth

  • present in elbows and knees, move back and forth and not to the side
46
Q

test cross

A

used to check the genotype of a trait

unknown x tt

47
Q

hypophosphatemic rickets + inheritance pattern

A

rare condition where the bones in the body don’t develop properly due to low levels of phosphorus, leading to weak and soft bones

  • X linked dominant
48

A

average energy associated with the movement of particles (atoms or molecules) as they move in a straight line in a given substance

57
Q

average rotational kinetic energy

A

average energy associated with the spinning or rotational motion of particles (atoms or molecules) within a substance

58
Q

kinetic vs potential energy

A

kinetic energy: energy of motion

potential energy: energy stored in an object due to its position or condition

59
Q

vapor pressure

A

pressure exerted by the vapor (gas) of a substance when it’s in equilibrium with its liquid or solid form

(like the “push” of gas molecules escaping from a liquid or solid into the air above it)

60
Q

unit cell

smallest repeating unit of a crystal lattice that contains all the information about the crystal’s structure

(kinda like a building block that’s repeated over and over to make up a larger crystal)

61
Q

atomic solid

A

individual atoms that are tightly packed together and arranged in a repeating pattern, like a grid

62
Q

common ion effect

A

decrease in solubility of a salt in a solution that already contains an ion common to the salt

63
Q

precipitation occurs if the ionic concentration is

A

more than ksp

(ionic concentration exceeds solubility product, so then excess ions come together and form solid precipitate)

64
Q

Le Chatelier’s principle helps with

A

predicting the direction in which a system at equilibrium will shift in response to a change in conditions

65
Q

to find overall order of a reaction

A

add up the individual orders

66
Q

state function

A

properties that depend only on the current state of a system and are independent of the path taken to reach that state

67
Q

an electrochemical cell is based on which reaction

A

redox reactions

(redox reactions involve the transfer of electrons between species, which is facilitated through the separation of oxidation and reduction half-reactions, which occur at different electrodes)

68
Q

ionic character

A

the extent to which atoms share electrons (the extent that one atom takes electrons)

  • high ionic character: giving and taking electrons, larger electronegativity difference
  • low ionic character: sharing electrons equally, lower electronegativity difference
69
Q

coordinate bonds

A

one atom provides electrons to another to form bond. like sharing electrons but one atom is providing both electrons

70
Q

freon is commonly known as

A

refrigerant

refrigerant: substances used in refrigeration systems and air conditioning units to transfer heat from one area to another
