Name all of the parts of a basic glycolipid
Sphingosine, long fatty acid chain, polar headgroup (sugar)

Name 3 pieces of evidence for why we believe the endosymbiotic theory for mitochondria.
Mitochondrial Genome, Circular DNA, RNA, Ribosomes, Splitting by Fission, Double Membrane

What is the name of this (Red Box)
Granum/Grana

(T/F) Intermediate Fillamets grow at the plus end
False. Intermediate fillaments are not polar.

How would we make a membrane more gel-like? Consider only saturation state.
Make the fatty acid tails more saturated/Add H+/Get rid of double bonds
200
What is the location of the Electron Transport Chain
CRISTAE of the Mitochondria
200
Water is split at (PS1/PS2)
PSII

What is the “dynamic instability” of microtubules?
Rapid growing and shrinking of MT’s by GTP hydrolysis rates. Over stabalizing or understabalizing are both bad.
200
What are the name of the gap junctions in plants?
plasmodesmata
300
Membranes are described as fluid mosaic. What example did we learn in class that prevents transporters and signaling molecules in the membrane from going totally will-nilly through the membrane?
Spectrin

FADH2 is (oxidized/reduced), and at which Complex (1/2/3/4/5/6) , its redox potential is (lower/higher) than NADH
Oxidized; Complex 2; Lower
300
When the special pair hands off its electrons it is (oxidized/reduced) and the mobile electron carrier is (oxidized/reduced)
Oxidized; reduced

You have a structure with 6 connected microtubules, 2 doublets, and 2 singlets, how many protofilaments do you have?
63 + 46 + 13 + 13 = 135
300
Plant cells can stretch because their microfibrils are (parallel, perpendicular, beside, underneath) the direction of elongation.
Perpendicular to

How many times does this membrane protein pass through the membrane?
8

This image shows pyruvate being turned into Acetyl-CoA. Give the names of the processes happening in the red boxes (must give scientific terms):
Decarboxylation of Pyruvate/ Reduction of NAD+
400
Explain photorespiration
Rubisco binds oxygen instead of CO2, creating only 1 3 carbon molecule, and one 2 carbon molecule
400
What is the nucleator of MTs. What special tubulin attached to this nucleator
gamma y-TuRC. gamma tubulins, followed by alpha then beta repeating

What happens if you have too much collagen in your skin
Your skin would be ultra stretchy/strong
500
Explain the Post and Jolly experiment and its findings.
Should list:
- 3 to 2 pump ratio of Na+ to K+
- Na+ is pumped out against the gradient. K+ is pumped in against the gradient.

List the outputs (include amounts) of the TCA Cycle if we input 4 acetyl CoA
12 NADH, 4 FADH2, 8 CO2, 4GTP
500
In the first step of the calvin cycle ___ is added to ___ using ____ to get ____ which is later split into 2 ______
CO2; Ribulose 1,5 Bisphosphate(RuBP), Rubisco, 6 carbon intermediate, 2 3 carbon molecules (3 phosphoglycerate)
500
If cofilin isn't present in a cell what would happen.
f-actin would grow out of control and not be depolymerized efficiently

A neutrophil is on its way to a chemoattrant. Describe the movement of the neutrophil
actin polymeryzation at the front end, myosin motors at the back end
