Anatomy and Physiology!

Rock your Body! (Reference Planes)

100

How do the Sagittal and Medial plane divide the body?

BONUS: What is the difference between them?

Left and Right

BONUS: Medial is symmetrical

200

What do you call the type of anatomy that studies branches like the nervous system, skeletal system or urinary systems...

Systemic Anatomy

300

The femoral artery found in cats is on this aspect of the leg...

Medial Aspect

400

If a dog had a lesion on the bottom of its front paw, you would say the lesion is found where on the foot?

Palmer

500

When describing planes of reference on the head of an animal, you use this term rather than cranial... 

Rostral

What in the Cell!?(About the Cell)

100

This powerhouse produces ATP and even contain their own DNA...

the Mitochondria

200

This selectively permeable barrier is made of a phospholipid bilayer with hydrophilic heads and hydrophobic tails...

Plasma (Cell) Membrane

300

Known as the cell's control centre, it holds all the genetic material and helps manage cellular actives...

the Nucleus

400

This organelle is like a post office, packaging and delivering proteins.

the Golgi Apparatus

500

These enzyme-filled sacs are responsible for breaking down waste and can even cause autolysis.

Lysosomes

Skinny!!! (Metabolism)

100

Organisms like plants and algae that make their own food through photosynthesis are known by this name.

Autotrophs/self-feeders

200

This type of metabolic pathway breaks large molecules into smaller ones, releasing energy in the process.

Catabolism

300

The main energy source of the cell...

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate)

400

One fatty acid chain broken down through lipid metabolism can yield this staggering amount of ATP.

148 ATP

500

The process of creating glucose from non-carbohydrate sources like pyruvate, lactate, or glycerol is called this.

Gluconeogenesis

Bulk Up!(Protein Synthesis)

100

What are the two main parts that make up protein synthesis, in order?

Transcription and Translation

200

This structure is where translation occurs and is sometimes called the “protein factory” of the cell...

the Ribosome

300

3 nucleotides in a row on DNA could also go by this name...

Codon

400

this is the part that pairs with mRNA codons to bring the correct amino acid.

tRNA (transfer RNA)

500

During protein metabolism, this toxic byproduct is formed, making protein a less ideal energy source.

Ammonia

Wildcard! (Fun A+P)

100

What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis? 

Carbon + water --Sunlight--> glucose + oxygen

C₂ + H₂O --Sunlight--> C₆H₁₂O₆ + O₂

200

These specialized proteins act as catalysts, speeding up reactions more than a million times without being consumed.

Enzymes

300

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)

400

In RNA, this nucleotide base replaces thymine found in DNA...

Uracil (U)

500

If a mutation occurs during transcription in protein synthesis, is it always fatal?

No!
