200

has osmoreceptors to regulate water potential in body

what is the hypothalmus

200

secrete glucagon

what is alpha cells

200

All glucose is reabsorbed at this tubule 

what is the proximal convoluted tubule

200

a group of capillaries in Bowman's capsule

What is glomerulus

200

surrounded by tissues that secrete enzymes

What is islet of Langerhans

400

coordinates the response to stress in plants

what is abscisic acid

400

released to lower glucose concentration in blood

what is insulin

400

break down of excess of amino acids in liver

what is Deamination

400

control of water potential in blood 

What is osmoregulation

400

the guard cells have bands called

what is cellulose microfibrils

600

ADH is released by this gland

what is the posterior pituitary gland

600

the G protein will activate this 

what is adenylyl cyclase

600

the enyme that activates glycogen phosphorylase

what is protein kinase A

600

part of nephron that leads from loop of henle to collecting duct

what is distal convoluted tubule

600

has many mitochndria to provide ATP for Na/k pumps

What is proximal convoluted tubule

800

these open to regulate water reabsorption in kidneys

what is aquaporins

800

this enzyme breaks down glycogen to glucose

what is glycogen phosphorylase enzyme

800

the membrane that filters the large molecules at Bowmans capsule

what is the basement membrane

800

a second messenger in cell signaling pathway when glucagon binds 

what is cAMP

800

arteriole leading away from glomerular capillaries

what is efferent arteriole

1000

these can not enter the guard cells when second messenger is in action

what is potassium

1000

glucose enter liver cells through these transporters

what is GLUT2

1000

the enzyme that converts glucose to gluconic acid and hydrogen peroxide

What is glucose oxidase

1000

formation of glucose from amino acid, pyruvate, lactate 

What is gluconeogenesis

1000

finger like projections with gaps in the cup shaped part of nephron

What is podocyte
