Molecular Biology ⚛️
In this type of hydrophobic molecule, all carbons in the hydrocarbon chain are linked by single bonds
What is a Saturated fatty acid?
A diploid nucleus divides to form four haploid nuclei
What is meiosis?
What is evolution?
A pulmonary function test that measures the amount and speed of air that a person can exhale.
What is spirometry?
This is roughly the percentage of Czech land covered by forests, making it one of the most forested countries in Europe.
What is about one‑third (≈ 33 %)?
all proteins produced by a cell, tissue or individual
What is a proteome?
Naked DNA vs histone-associated DNA; Circular vs linear; Free in the cytoplasm vs contained in nucleus
What is a detritivore?
This type of circulatory system allows blood to be pumped to the lungs and body separately, maintaining higher pressure and more efficient oxygen delivery.
What is a double circulatory system?
In this graph, x axis has different wavelenght (of the visible spectrum) and y axis has amount of light that chlorophyll molecules absorb
What is the absortion spectrum?
The process by which pyruvate is converted to acetyl CoA before entering the Krebs cycle.
What is the link reaction?
Nuclear envelope disappears, homologous chromosomes pair up, crossing over occurs, chromosomes condense.
What happens during Prophase I, (in meiosis I)?
This form of polyploidy occurs when chromosomes from two different species combine, creating a hybrid with multiple sets of chromosomes from each parent.
What is alloploidy?
This type of membrane protein opens only when a specific chemical messenger binds to it, allowing ions to flow across the cell membrane.
What is a ligand gated channel?
E. coli, zebrafish, and rats are commonly used in labs to study biology and medicine. They are all examples of these.
What are animal models or model organisms?
The conversion of inorganic carbon (carbon dioxide from the atmosphere) to organic carbon by a living organism.
What is carbon fixation?
A type of cell junction wherein adjacent cells are linked together by intracellular channels.
What are gap juctions?
States that if two species with identical niches compete, then one will inevitably drive the other to extinction.
What is the competitive exclusion principle?
they block the binding of ACh; they are not broken down by acetlycholinesterase; they kill insects due paralysis.
What are neonicotinoid pesticides (effects)?
This vertebrate group is often used as an indicator of environmental health because their permeable skin makes them sensitive to pollution — and Colombia is a global hotspot for them.
What are amphibians?
The process of producing ATP through the transfer of electrons from reduced NAD and reduced FAD to oxygen, which creates a proton gradient that drives ATP synthase.
What is oxydative phosphorylation?
A chemical in the cell the concentration gradient of which determines the fate of surrounding cells.
What is a morphogen?
are organisms that can acquire nutrients through both autotrophic and heterotrophic means.
What are mixotrophs?
These freely movable joints, such as the knee and shoulder, contain fluid-filled cavities that reduce friction between articulating bones.
What are synovial joints?
Used for thousands of years in Andean rituals to reduce fatigue and altitude sickness, this plant (Erythroxylum coca) contributes only a small natural part of the illegal drug linked to it.
What is the coca plant?
