Carl Woese Worshippers (MCB)
These are three organelles found in eukaryotic cells.
Any three: Nucleus, rough endoplasmic reticulum, smooth endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, mitochondria, lysosomes, peroxisomes, vacuoles, cytoskeleton, plasma membrane, cell wall.
This creature is known for its impressively organized society, its loyalty to the queen, and ability to make honey.
What are honeybees?
This type of blood vessel carries blood away from the heart.
Arteries
Although weaker than covalent bonds, these interactions allow water to have a high boiling point, stabilize protein secondary and tertiary structures, and enable complementary DNA strands to pair correctly.
What are hydrogen bonds?
What is the best organelle?
Rationale?
The central dogma of molecular and cellular biology is described as the flow of information from [blank] to [blank] to [blank].
DNA -> mRNA -> Protein
This animal is famously known for its ability to mimic human speech.
What is a parrot? (+100 for mockingbird)
These small air sacs in the lungs are the primary site of gas exchange between air and blood.
What are alveoli?
This element is famous for being the most electronegative in biological molecules.
What is Oxygen?
A p-value of less than [blank] is generally considered [blank] in scientific studies.
What are: 0.05; statistically significant?
Adding a single nucleotide pair to the open reading frame (ORF) of a bacterial gene would have this effect on the resulting protein.
What is a frameshift mutation?
Zebras are this color with this color stripes.
What is black with white stripes?
This type of muscle is involuntary, non-striated, and found in the walls of hollow organs like the intestines.
What is smooth muscle?
A cell placed in a hypotonic solution. This is the direction water moves...
Watson and Crick won the Nobel Prize for discovering the structure of DNA but did so using critical X-ray data from this scientist without their permission.
Who is Rosalind Franklin?
A cells cytoskeleton is made up of these three strutures.
What are Microfilaments, Intermediate Filaments, and Microtubules?
This is the only mammal capable of true flight.
What is a bat?
The adrenal medulla secretes this pair of hormones in response to stress.
What are epinephrine and norepinephrine?
This type of enzyme inhibition occurs when a molecule binds to a site other than the active site, changing the enzyme’s shape and reducing its activity.
What is allosteric inhibition?
Operating at around 121°C and 15 psi, this device sterilizes laboratory glassware and media by combining high heat and pressure.
What is an autoclave?
Bacteria in a petri dish detect a high concentration of glucose in one area and a harmful chemical in another. The resulting movement is called what?
What is chemotaxis?
This marine invertebrate expels its stomach out through its mouth to externally digest prey before pulling it back inside.
What is a sea star/starfish?
This part of the nephron actively reabsorbs glucose, amino acids, and most ions from the filtrate back into the bloodstream.
What is the proximal convoluted tubule (PCT)?
In an integral protein, any one of these amino acids may be a part of the region that spans the membrane. (100 per amino acid named)
Glycine, alanine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, methionine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, and proline. (+100 if "hydrophobic")
At this university, Carl Woese identified a distinct group of prokaryotes called [Blank] by comparing sequences of this essential molecule across species. Give: University, Prokaryote group, and Molecule
What are University of Illinois; Archaea; ribosomal RNA (rRNA)?
