Biochemistry
A reaction in which two molecules form covalent bonds and release H2O as waste.
What is dehydration synthesis?
This substance is the main component of the cytosol that helps to create fluidity and regulates temperature of the cell.
What is H2O?
Color that is least efficient in absorbing light.
What is Green?
Cell signaling that only affects the secreting cell.
What is Autocrine?
Direction in which DNA Polymerase reads/integrates DNA.
What is from 3' to 5'?
Why do unsaturated fats have a greater fluidity than saturated fats?
They have double bonds / less Hydrogen.
This describes the path that a cell uses to create and transport a protein outside of the cell.
What is Nucleus --> RER --> Golgi --> Vesicle --> Exocytosis?
True or False: During anaerobic respiration in both plants and animals, CO2 is produced as a waste product.
False
This period describes the transition from the hyper polarization of an axon to its polarized state; no action impulse can take place during this period.
What is the Refractory Period?
Helps in cytokinesis of the cell by creating a cleavage furrow or a cell plate; moves membrane for exo/endocytosis.
What are microfilaments?
2 properties of water allows it to travel up a vascular structure via capillary action.
What is Adhesion and Cohesion?
The liver is an organ that plays a primary role in the detoxification. This is the most abundant organelle present in liver cells.
What is Smooth ER?
Describes the combination of Oxidative Phosphorylation and the proton gradient in the ETC.
What is Chemiosmosis?
A type of immunity that occurs when a person is given an injection of antibodies to help fight an infection.
What is artificially passive immunity?
The amount of this chemical element differentiates the molecules of DNA and RNA.
What is Oxygen?
If 2 molecules of triglyceride were each individually synthesized by combining one fatty acid and three glycerol, how much total water would be released as a waste product.
6 H2O
True or False: A protein pump can only allow for the transportation of molecules and ions in a single direction.
True
These 2 are the first and last electron acceptors (respectively) during light independent reactions.
What are NAD+ and O2?
This type of enzyme activation is used by cyclins to activate CDK in order to carry out the cell cycle.
What is Allosteric Activation?
This is a nucleotide base that is both a pyrimidine and has a triple hydrogen bond with its base pair.
What is Cytosine?
A degree of structure that determines 3D shape in a protein.
What is Primary Structure?
This describes the separation of cellular function to promote metabolic efficiency.
What is Compartmentalization?
This powers the ETC to pump hydrogen from the stroma in the chloroplast into a thylakoid to create a proton gradient.
What is light hitting Photosystem II?
M@C and G1 of a cell takes 15 minutes to complete. The total amount of time it takes to complete the cycle is 32 minutes and it takes half the time to complete M@C than it takes to complete G2. If cellular replication takes 5 minutes for DNA to replicate, how much time is the duration of G2 and M@C together?
18 Minutes
During Prophase, there are 46 chromosomes present in a cell. How many chromosomes will be present during Metaphase?
46
