Q

what is habituation

A

when an organism gets used to a stimulus and being to stop reacting to the given stimuli. An example would when we begin ignoring background noise overtime whilst living in a loud environment (i.e. highway noise).

26
what prevents polyspermy?
fast and slow block
27
what is polyspermy
contains 3 or more copies of each chromosome
28
which part of the kidney is responsible for concentrated urine?
loops of henle
29
What happens in the descending loop of henle
water is freely absorbed | filtrate concentration increases and water is reabsorbed
30
What is gametogenesis?
production of eggs and sperm cells from precursor cells present in either the ovaries or the seminiferous tubules of the testes of females and males respectively.
31
function of oxytocin
hormone involved in labour an dlactation
32
function of aldoesterone
involved in water and ion retention
33
function of Thyroid stimulating hormone
produces T4 and T3, which influences metabolism
34
function of thyroid releasing hormone
produced and secreted by hypothalamus. this triggers the anterior pituitary gland to secrete thyroid stimulating hormone
35
acronym for the layers of the skin
Come lets grab some beer
36
What components make up the bloood?
plasma buffy coat granulocytes red blood cells
37
product of light reaction in photosynthesis?
NADPH, ATP, O2
38
what do enzymes do?
lowers activation energy does not change free energy, equilibrium state, enthalpy of fomration. increases the rate constant of forward and reverse reactions.
39
what gases were present in the miller Urey experiment of the primitive earth's atmosphere?
CH4, H2, H2O, NH3
40
Which of the following binds temporarily to an enzyme location that is NOT the active site?
Reversible non-competitive inhibitor
41
function of Irreversible competitive inhibitor
interact and bind to the enzyme via covalent bonds and prevent the enzyme from working permanently
42
function of Zymogen
precursor protein that is inactive until some sort of critical modification occurs.
43
FUNCTION OF Reversible competitive inhibitor
have similar substrate shapes and compete at the level of the active site. Both of which interact non-covalently with the enzyme.
44
Which of the following forces contribute to lipid bilayer formation?
Hydrophobic interactions and van der Waals forces
45
Which of the following is common between the formation of both glycosidic bonds and phosphodiester linkages?
Formation of a water molecul
46
