Biochem
This type of reaction involves the transfer of electrons
Redox reactions
Cellular respiration in the absence of oxygen
Anaerobic respiration
The anticodon for the mRNA codon CGA is
GCU
What part of the nephron descends into the medulla and then rises back into the cortex:
What is the Loop of Henle
Name two types of interspecies interaction benefits one organism, and harms the other
predation and parasitism
Sodium ions use this form of transport through a cell membrane, requiring a protein pump
Active transport
The usefulness of fermentation as a means of deriving energy is limited because:
What is fermentation cannot generate enough ATP (it only generates 2 ATP per 1 glucose?)
This type of mutation would result in the change of only one amino acid in a polypeptide
Missense mutation because of a substitution
This branch of the nervous system controls unconscious life-sustaining activities.
Autonomic nervous system
What is an S-shaped curve model that describes limited population growth often due to limited resources or predation
What is Logistical Growth?
This type of transport involves the engulfing of large particles by pseudopods
Phagocytosis
The ETC is located on this
Inner mitochondrial membrane
DNA which has been combined to come from more than one source is called
Recombinant DNA
These are released from one neuron into the synapse in neural transmission
neurotransmitters
What is a way of dealing with competition by using different resources within a habitat
What is resource partitioning?
These functional groups are found in all amino acids
Carboxyl and amino
This molecule is an electron "carrier" that ultimately results in the production of 2 ATP during oxidative phosphorylation
FAHD2
(Bonus - why does it only result in the production of 2 ATP unlike NADH?)
Initiation or transcription begins when the ______________ binds to the __________________
What is RNA polymerase, and promoter region
The type of feedback loop used to describe contractions that increase in strength during pregnancy
Positive feedback look
(Bonus - identify and describe a negative feedback loop in the body)
what system is effective in getting an estimation of population for a stationary species?
quadrat sampling
When an enzyme is inhibited due to the action of a chemical at its active site, this is called
Competitive inhibition
This compound is ONLY produced in anaerobic respiration by microorganisms
Ethanol
These must be removed prior to translation
Introns
(Bonus - what else happens during the processing stage?)
Which hormone is primarily involved in altering the water permeability of the collecting duct?
ADH
(Bonus 100 - if someone is dehydrated will the collecting ducts receive more or less ADH?)
On friday you went fishing. You caught an tagged 20 perch, and threw them back. On Sunday you caught 40 perch and 5 had your tags on them.... how many perch are in the pond?
