This "Father of Toxicology" emphasized the dose-response relationship, famously stating that "All things are poison and nothing is without poison; only the dose makes a thing not a poison."
Who is Paracelsus
100
The process of cell division in eukaryotic cells consists of two main stages: mitosis
and this other phase where the cell’s nucleus is divided.
What is Cytokinesis
100
Distinguish between these two types of explanations in animal behavior, one focusing on immediate physiological responses and the other on evolutionary adaptations.
What are proximate and ultimate causes?
100
hat are the three most common types of RNA?
mRNA
tRNA
rRNA
100
The role an organism has within its community.
What is a niche
200
This process describes the conversion of a non-toxic compound into a toxic one through metabolic processes.
What is bioactivation?
200
Viruses differ from cells because viruses do NOT, under any circumstances, have what?
What is Organelles
200
Proposed by Eric Charnov in 1976, this model predicts the behavior of an optimally foraging animal in a patchy resource environment.
What is the Marginal Value Theorem?
200
What is a common problem that restrictions may face causing them to be unable to cut DNA?
Methylations
200
A group of different interacting species withing a specified region.
What is a community
300
This enzyme plays a crucial role in Phase I metabolism by adding oxygen to xenobiotics, often leading to their bioactivation.
What is Cytochrome P450?
300
This is a discrete, locally folded unit of protein tertiary structure usually having a specific function
is best described as?
What is a Domain
300
This behavior benefits another individual at a cost to oneself and is explained by theories such as kin selection and reciprocal altruism.
What is altruism?
300
What are the three common disaccharide sugars and their components?
Sucrose (glucose + fructose)
Lactose (glucose + galactose)
Maltose (glucose + glucose)
300
An area of land where all flowing surface water converges to a single point.
What is a watershed
400
This phenomenon occurs when exposure to a low dose of a chemical makes the organism more resistant to the harmful effects of higher doses of the same or similar chemicals.
What is hormesis
400
Within the cell, where is calcium stored?
What is Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
400
This term describes a behavior whereby an organism acts in a manner that temporarily reduces its fitness while increasing another organism's fitness, with the expectation that the other organism will act in a similar manner at a later time.
What is reciprocal altruism?
400
What are self-splicing RNA's called?
Ribozymes
400
A visual description of all the points in which the species can grow.
What is a ZNGI (zero net growth isocline)
500
These receptors, when excessively activated by certain neurotoxins, can lead to an uncontrolled influx of calcium ions, causing neuronal damage.
What are glutamate receptors?
500
A young child dies of Tay-Sachs disease because her cells lack the hydrolase that
normally breaks down a membrane component called ganglioside Gm2, which therefore
accumulated in the membranes of her brane. Which organelle structure is underactive in this
child?
What is lysosome
500
This principle suggests that female reproduction is limited by resource access for gamete production, while male reproduction is limited by access to females.
What is Bateman's Principle?
500
What chemical is used to synthesize peptide chains (specifically the peptide bond) to make the reaction energetically favourable?
DCCD (dicyclohexylcarbodiimide)
500
What theory uses this formula?
What is the Lotka-Volterra predator-prey model
