What is 7.35 - 7.45.
Major excitatory neurotransmitter.
What is glutamate?
The net number of ATP produced during glycolysis.
What is two?
This pump expels 3 Na+ and brings in 2 K+ in order to maintain the resting potential.
What is the sodium potassium pump?
Myosin binds to the myosin binding site on actin.
What is cross-bridge formation?
The formation and breakdown of creatine phosphate is catalyzed by this enzyme.
What is creatine kinase?
When two or more atoms transfer electrons.
Maintenance of blood pH mechanism.
What is the carbonic acid-bicarbonate buffer system.
Primary neurotransmitter at the NMJ.
What is acetylcholine?
During cellular respiration, oxygen is needed.
What is the Kreb Cycle and Electron Transport Chain?
Water can passively travel across the plasma membrane by simple diffusion or through a particular channel.
What are aquaporin channels?
Allow action potentials to quickly spread across a muscle fiber.
What is the function of transverse tubules?
This ion binds to troponin to expose myosin-binding sites on actin.
What is Ca2+?
The smallest unit of matter.
What are atoms.
A patient is experiencing acidosis, and they have a buildup of a specific molecule.
What is hydrogen (H+)?
Regulates mood, sleep, and appetite.
What is serotonin?
Products are created during the Citric Acid/ Kreb Cycle.
What are FADH2, NADH, ATP, and CO2.
During an action potential, voltage-gated Na+ channels open and Na+ rushes in.
What is the depolarization phase?
This layer of the epidermis contains stem cells.
What is the stratum basale?
When blood calcium levels are low, osteoclasts can harvest calcium from this tissue.
What is bone tissue?
Water is added to a reaction to break down larger molecules into smaller molecules.
What is hydrolysis reaction?
Chromosomes unravel and nuclear envelope forms.
What is telophase?
Major inhibitory neurotransmitter.
What is GABA?
Glycolysis occurs in this gelatinous matrix.
What is the cytoplasm?
Doesn't require ATP and moves down its concentration gradient.
What is passive transport?
This bone cell is responsible for bone resorption.
What is osteoclast?
This hormone is released when blood calcium levels rise above homeostatic range.
What is calcitonin?
The loss of electrons.
What is oxidation?
Chromosomes are pulled toward opposite poles.
What is anaphase?
Neurotransmitter for motor control and euphoria.
What is dopamine?
A majority of ATP is created during this phase of cellular respiration.
What is the electron transport chain?
A blood cell will shrivel in this type of solution.
What is a hypertonic solution?
The contraction cycle is composed of four stages.
What is ATP hydrolysis, crossbridge formation, power stroke, and detachment?
7-dehydrocholesterol is converted into this vitamin when the skin is exposed to UV rayes.
What is Vitamin D3 (choleocalciferal)?
