Rock your Body! (Reference Planes)
How do the Sagittal and Medial plane divide the body?
BONUS: What is the difference between them?
Left and Right
BONUS: Medial is symmetrical
the Mitochondria
Organisms like plants and algae that make their own food through photosynthesis are known by this name.
Autotrophs/self-feeders
What are the two main parts that make up protein synthesis, in order?
Transcription and Translation
What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?
Carbon + water --Sunlight--> glucose + oxygen
C2 + H2O --Sunlight--> C6H12O6 + O2
What do you call the type of anatomy that studies branches like the nervous system, skeletal system or urinary systems...
Systemic Anatomy
This selectively permeable barrier is made of a phospholipid bilayer with hydrophilic heads and hydrophobic tails...
Plasma (Cell) Membrane
This type of metabolic pathway breaks large molecules into smaller ones, releasing energy in the process.
Catabolism
This structure is where translation occurs and is sometimes called the “protein factory” of the cell...
the Ribosome
These specialized proteins act as catalysts, speeding up reactions more than a million times without being consumed.
Enzymes
The femoral artery found in cats is on this aspect of the leg...
Medial Aspect
Known as the cell's control centre, it holds all the genetic material and helps manage cellular actives...
the Nucleus
The main energy source of the cell...
ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate)
3 nucleotides in a row on DNA could also go by this name...
Codon
Aerobic respiration produces up to 36 ATP per glucose molecule, while anaerobic respiration produces only this much.
2 ATP (gives 2 ATP makes 4 ATP)
Palmer
This organelle is like a post office, packaging and delivering proteins.
the Golgi Apparatus
One fatty acid chain broken down through lipid metabolism can yield this staggering amount of ATP.
148 ATP
this is the part that pairs with mRNA codons to bring the correct amino acid.
tRNA (transfer RNA)
In RNA, this nucleotide base replaces thymine found in DNA...
Uracil (U)
When describing planes of reference on the head of an animal, you use this term rather than cranial...
Rostral
These enzyme-filled sacs are responsible for breaking down waste and can even cause autolysis.
Lysosomes
The process of creating glucose from non-carbohydrate sources like pyruvate, lactate, or glycerol is called this.
Gluconeogenesis
During protein metabolism, this toxic byproduct is formed, making protein a less ideal energy source.
Ammonia
If a mutation occurs during transcription in protein synthesis, is it always fatal?
