A definition of acids as producers of excess H+ and bases as producers of excess OH- in aqueous solutions.
What is Arrhenius Definition
100
The minimum of stimulus energy needed to activate a sensory system.
What is Absolute Threshold
200
States that a body that is fully or partially immersed in a liquid will be buoyed upwards by a force that is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced by the body.
What is Archimedes' Principle
200
An enzyme devoid of the prosthetic group, coenzyme, or cofactor necessary for normal activity
What is Apoenzyme
200
A hormone synthesized and released by the thyroid gland that decreases plasma Ca2+ concentration.
What is Calcitonin
200
States that the number of moles of a gas present is proportional to its volume, assuming constant pressure and temperature.
What is Avagadro's Principle
200
The simultaneous presence of two opposing thoughts or opinions.
What is Cognitive Dissonance
300
States that for any process, the entropy of the universe either increases (for irreversible processes) or remains constant (for reversible processes).
What is the Second Law of Thermodynamics
300
A three nucleotide sequence on a tRNA molecule that pairs with a corresponding mRNA codon during translation.
What is Anticodon
300
Describes a situation in which an organism heterozygous for a trait will have a phenotype that expresses both alleles in full.
What is Codominance
300
A molecule or carbon atom bonded to four different groups and without a plane of symmetry; thus, is not superimposable upon its mirror image and has an enantiomer is said to be...
What is Chiral
300
In Jungian psychoanalysis, the part of the unconscious mind that is shared among all humans and is the result of our common ancestry.
What is Collective Unconscious
400
What is the speed of light in m/s?
What is 3.00x10^8 m/s
400
The production of multiple different but related mRNA molecules from a single primary transcript of hnRNA.
What is Alternative Splicing
400
A hormone that is secreted by the duodenum in response to the presence of chyme. This hormone stimulates the release of bile and pancreatic enzymes into the small intestine and promotes satiety.
What is Cholecystokinin (CCK)
400
A type of diastereoisomer with different arrangements of substituents about an immovable bond.
What is Cis-Trans Isomer
400
A theoretical framework that emphasizes the role of power differentials in producing social order.
What is Conflict Theory
500
Law that states that the voltage drop across a resistor is proportional to the current flowing through it.
What is Ohm's Law
500
Enzymes that experience changes in their conformation as a result of interactions at sites other than the active site. Conformational changes may increase or decrease enzyme activity
What are Allosteric Enzymes
500
Portion of the nephron permeable only to water. The filtrate becomes more concentrated as it travels through this structure due to the increasing concentration of the interstitium.
What is Descending Limb of the Loop of Henle
500
Nonsuperimposable stereoisomers that are mirror images of each other. These stereoisomers differ in configuration at every chiral center but share the same chemical properties in a nonstereospecific environment. Their optical activities are exactly opposites of each other.
What are Enantiomers
500
The general bias toward making dispositional attributions rather than situational attributions when analyzing another person's behavior.
