Organic Chemistry
Contains a carboxyl group, an amine group, and a functional group
What is an amino acid?
Eukaryotic cells emerged when (once free-living) mitochondria and chloroplasts took up residence in larger cells.
What is the endosymbiotic theory?
Testosterone would bind to this type of receptor to elicit a cellular response
What is an intracellular receptor?
The name of the protein that kinase enzymes depend on to start the reactions necessary to bypass the G2 checkpoint.
What is cyclin?
the phase in which cross over occurs
What is prophase I?
Carbon atoms on opposite sides of a double bond of a fatty acid tail.
What is a trans unsaturated fat?
This organelle found in abundance in liver cells, might come in handy after grad night.
What are peroxisomes?
The name of the signalling molecule activated by adenyl cyclase in a g-protein coupled signal transduction.
What is cyclic AMP?
the state of the cell cycle in which stem cells exist in.
What is G0
The phase at which independent assortment of chromosomes is important to genetic variation
What is Metaphase I?
R-Thalidomide was a drug marketed to help pregnant women sleep. When it went to market, disaster struck as children were born with missing limbs because S-Thalidomide was used. S and R thalidomide are examples of this.
What are enantiomers?
Estrogen is synthesized in this organelle
What is the smooth endoplasmic reticulum?
A ligand binds to an extracellular receptor and is brought into the cell via an endosome.
What is receptor mediated endocytosis?
cell division will only occur when the cell is attached to a surface.
What is anchorage dependence
The location at which cross over occurs?
What is the chiasma?
Stored in skeletal muscles and the liver, it is the animal equivalent of "starch"
What is glycogen?
Helps the cell breakdown and recycle the parts for cell renewal (autophagy) and aids in apoptosis
What are lysosomes?
is equivalent to the negative of the ionization constant of the solute, multiplied by the concentration of the solute, the pressure constant and the temperature of the system.
What is solute potential?
this many chromatids line up at the metaphase plate during mitosis
what is 92
A cell is likely to be in this phase, if you 46 chromatids lined up in a row.
What is Metaphase II?
Progeria (rapid aging disorder) is caused by a leucine amino acid replacing an arginine amino acid in the LMNA gene. This is a disorder of this protein conformation.
What is primary?
diseases associated with either the transport or build up of misfolded proteins originate from this organelle
what is the rough endoplasmic reticulum?
Aquaporins which allow the free passage of water into a cell is an example of this.
Facilitated diffusion/osmosis
The indent formed between two cells during the start of cytokinesis
What is the cleavage furrow
How many different arrangements could there be for tetrads to line up during metaphase 1 in an organism that has 4 sets of homologous chromosomes?
2^4 = 16
