Determines protein Structure 

What is Amino acid sequence 

100

Interactions that hold the substrate to the active site 

What is noncovalent bonding 

100

Number of phases in mitosis 

What is 6


100

Utilization of aerobic fermentation

What is the Warburg Effect

100

High concentration of solute in solution 

What is hypertonic solution 

200

Ways that phosphorylation changes proteins function 

What is adds charge and bulk -> changes the interactions within and between other proteins 
200

Activated by a small nonpolar signaling molecule 

What is intracellular receptor 

200

The structure that pulls and degrades the microtubules 

What is kinetochore 

200

Utilized by cancer cells to metastasize 

What is proteases 

200

Source of new muscle cells 

What is fibroblasts 

300

Signs a cell is in apoptosis 

What are blebs and nuclear collapse 

300

Ways that signaling leads to cellular responses 

What is changing existing protein function and altering gene expression 

300

Composition of contractile ring

What is actin and myosin 
300

Two ways that cause hyper-proliferation 

What is mutated oncongenes and tumor suppressor genes 

300

Professor Cohen’s ID major 

What is history 

400

Epithelial cell orientation 

What is apical surface on the lumen side and basal lateral surface attached to basal membrane 

400

Off signal for phosphorylated proteins 

What is protein phosphatase 

400

Pausing mechanism of mitosis 

What is p27 sequestering 

400

Secretion of signals that lead to growth of blood vessels 

What is angiogenesis 
400

Molecule binds to a protein and prevents the binding of another molecule at a different location 

What is non competitive inhibition 

500

Barrier that prevents fluid and other substrates from moving between membranes 

What is tight junction 

500

The signaling pathway that results in mitosis 

What is :

RTK activates Ras GEF -> activates Ras protein -> activates MAP3K -> phosphorylation cascade 

MAPK activates Cdc25 phosphatase ->dephosphorylates M-Cdk ->positive feedback on Cdc25  

500

Signaling pathway that allows for S phase 

What is mitopen -> mitogen receptor -> activated G/A-Cdk -> phosphorylation of Rb protein -> Rb protein leaves DNA strand -> gene transcription for entry into S phase 

500

The diabolical superpowers of cancer 

What is 

1. Growth even in absence of normal “go“ signals 

2. Growth despite “stop” commands 

3. Evasion of built-in autodestruct mechanisms 

4. Ability to stimulate blood vessel construction 

5. Effective immortality 

6. Power to invade other tissues and spread to other organs
