Geographical origin (e.g., Denver, Taiwan, etc.)
Strain number (e.g., 15, 7, etc.)
Year of isolation (e.g., 57, 2009, etc.)
For influenza A viruses, the hemagglutinin and neuraminidase antigen description in parentheses (e.g., (H1N1), (H5N1)
Definition
How is the name of an influenza strain determined by these?
Term
Reverse Transcriptase
Definition
An enzyme that catalyzes the formation of DNA from an RNA template in reverse transcription.
Term
Protons(+) and neutrons(-) in the nucleus. Electrons(0) surround.
Definition
What are the parts of an atom, their locations and charges?
Term
hydrogen bond
Definition
A weak chemical bond formed between a partially positively charged hydrogen atom in a molecule and a partially negatively charged atom in another molecule or in another region of the same molecule
Term
ionic bond
Definition
A chemical bond that results from the mutual attraction of oppositely charged ions
Term
covalent bond
Definition
A chemical bond formed when outer shell electrons are shared between atoms
Term
Polar covalent bond
Definition
A chemical bond where electrons shared by the atoms spend a greater amount of time, on the average, closer to the Oxygen nucleus than the Hydrogen nucleus.
Term
>7 more basic
=7 neutral
< 7 more acidic
Definition
what pH means and be able to distinguish acidic from basic or neutral solutions
Term
Condensation
Definition
the conversion of a vapor or gas to a liquid
Term
the basic structure of triglyceride is glycerol and three fatty acids
Definition
basic structure of a triglyceride
Term
Temporarily combining with the substrates in the reaction. The substrate molecule will combine temporarily with one enzyme type, and the active site of a particular enzyme will fit only one kind of substrate
Definition
how an enzyme works and what it does in terms of lowering activation energy, substrate specificity
Term
Ttemperature, pH, enzyme concentration, substrate concentration, and the presence of any inhibitors or activators.
Definition
factors that affect the rate of an enzymatic reaction
Term
-Smallest unit of life
-Make up living things
-Come form preexisting ells
Definition
What are the basic tenants of the Cell Theory
Term
facilitated diffusion
Definition
Movement of substances from high to lower concentration with aid from a membrane protein that either transports the substance from one side of the membrane to the other or forms a channel through which it can move
Term
osmosis
Definition
Type of diffusion in which water moves across the plasma membrane or any other selectively permeable membrane from a region of lower concentration of solute to a region of higher concentration of solute
Term
The water will flow into the cell (the inside gets less concentrated while the outside gets less dilute)
Definition
Which way water will move if a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution
Term
The water will flow out of the cell (the inside gets more concentrated while the outside gets more dilute)
Definition
Which way water will move if a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution
Term
The same amount of water that enters the cell will exit the cell
Definition
Which way will water will move if a cell is placed in a isotonic solution
Term
ATP
Definition
A nucleotide that consists of the sugar ribose, the base adenine, and three phosphate groups
Term
Glycolysis
Definition
Which step(s) in ATP production occur in the cytoplasm?
Term
Krebs cycle and the electron transport chain occur in the mitochondria.
Definition
Which step(s) occur in the mitochondria?
Term
Electron transport chain
Definition
Which steps in ATP production are oxygen dependent?
Term
Electron Transport Chain
Definition
Which step produces the most ATP?
Term
Electron Carriers
Definition
_____ donate electrons by providing an hydrogen molecule to the oxygen molecule to create water during the electron transport chain.
Term
Electron Carrier
Definition
Any of various molecules that are capable of accepting one or two electrons from one molecule and donating them to another in the process of electron transport. As the electrons are transferred from one electron carrier to another, their energy level decreases, and energy is released.
Term
Cellular respiration requires oxygen and produces more energy while fermentation can be undergone without oxygen and produces less energy
Definition
What is the difference between respiration and fermentation?
Term
Melanin gives color to the skin, hair, and iris of the eyes. Levels of melanin depend on race and amount of sunlight exposure. Sun exposure increases melanin production - to protect the skin against harmful ultraviolet rays. In addition, hormonal changes can affect melanin production.
Definition
Why do we make melanin? What is it produced in response to?
Term
The extracellular matrix of bone tissue is largely composed of collagen and inorganic salts. Collagen gives the bone its strength and resilience, and inorganic salts make it hard and resistant to crushing.
Definition
What is the ECM of bone made of?
Term
Hematoma formation
Fibrocartilaginous callus developes over a 3 to 4 week period.
Bony callus begins forming after 3 to 4 weeks after injury and is prominent 2 to 3 months following the injury. Remoldeling.
Definition
How is a bone fracture healed? (steps)
Term
Cartilage
Definition
Firm gelatinous matrix containing protein fibers. At the ends of bones.
Term
Tendons
Definition
connect muscle to bone
Term
Ligaments
Definition
Connect bone to bone
Term
Yellow marrow
Definition
A connective tissue found in the shaft of long bones that stores fat. It forms from red marrow, and, if the need arises, it can confer back to red marrow and form blood cells
Term
Red Marrow
Definition
Blood cell-forming connective tissue found in the marrow cavity of certain bones
Term
Bone marrow
Definition
The soft material filling the cavities in bones.
Term
Parathyroid glands which tends to increase blood calcium levels by stimulating osteoclasts and (thyro)calcitonin from the thyroid gland which tends to decrease blood calcium levels by inhibiting osteoclasts, thus decreasing bone resorption, and, simultaneously, increasing bone mineralization because the osteoblasts are still active
Definition
What is the role of Calcitonin in stimulating bone remodeling in response to blood calcium levels
Term
reduces pain in patients with osteoarthritis
Definition
Role in PCH in stimulating bone remodeling in response to blood calcium levels
Term
Haemagglutin
Definition
can be used to identify RBC surface antigens (with known antibodies) or to screen for antibodies (with RBCs with known surface antigens).
Term
Neuraminidase
Definition
The enzyme helps viruses to be released from a host cell.
Term
Hydrolysis
Definition
The process by which polymers are broken apart by the addition of water
Term
Active Transport
Definition
The movement of molecules across the plasma membrane, usually against a concentration gradient from a region of lower concentration to one of a higher concentration using a carrier protein and energy of ATP.
Term

Definition
How do you find the number of electrons?
Term
rounded atomic mass - atomic number
Definition
