Cards

Term

 

3 domains of life 

Definition

 

Bacteria

 Archaea

 Eukarya

 

 

Bacteria and Archaea are more different from eachother than Archaea and Eukarya are from each other

Term

 

 

 

Differences between Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic cells 

Definition

 

 

In eukary. cells DNA is in NUCLEUS

In Prokary. cells DNA is in NUCLEOID 

 

Eukary are larger  

Term
Origin and indpenedent genome of mitochondria and chloroplasts in eukaryotic cells
Definition

-Infolding of cell membrane creates endomembrane system

-Engulfing of non-photosynthetic prokary. creates mitochondria (with own DNA)

-Engulfing of photosynthetic prokary. creates chloroplasts (with own DNA)

Term

 

 

Special features of plant cells not present in animal cells 

Definition

 

 

chlorosplasts

cell wall and central vacuole

can make own food 

Term
ATP: function and principal structural features, formation, and usage in the three kinds of cellular work
Definition

-formed with energy from breakdown of energy righ food

-consists of three phosphate groups, a sugar and a nitrogenous base

-3 kinds of cellular work

-Mechanical

_transport

-chemical 

Term
Understand the role of fermentation as well as the two types of fermentation and their practical applications
Definition

 

-makes limited amount of ATP without the chain; end result is lactic acid

 

-Alcohol fermentation: yeast and bacteria, beer/wine, bread leavening

 

-Lactic Acid: fungi and bacteria, yogurt, cheese, sour cream 

Term
Differences between fast twitch glycolytic and slow twitch oxidative mucle fibers
Definition

Glycolytic: use glycoysis, quick but doesn not provide a lot of energy

 

 

Oxidative- use oxidative respiration: slower; yields more energy 

Term
understand the several classes of macrmolecules can be used as fuels in cellular respiration
Definition

 

Carbs: quick energy

 

Fats: sustained energy

 

Proteins: only used during starvation periods  

Term
Understand the energy is transferred from food molecules  to energy carriers _____ and ____ by transfer of _____
Definition

  NADH

 

FADH2

 

H (electrons and H+) 

Term
In the model of the hydroelectric dam, water stands for the _____, the turbine stands for the _________ and the lite-up bulb stands for the __________.
Definition

Protons

 

ATP synthase

 

ATP produced 

Term
Understand heat generation in metabolism and the role of uncouplers
Definition
Provide channel across membrane through which protons flow back (downhill) with out making ATP, all energy is heat
Term
Be able to relate aquaporin structure to aquaporin function
Definition

-Transport proteins allowing movement of (polar) water across (hydrophobic) lipid membranes

 

-Water channels across membranes; membrane-spanning proteins  

Term

Recognize examples of aquaporin involvment (in human kidney, lung, eye, mouth, skin) in the regulation of water movement

 

Definition

-Regulation of saliva output

-Secretion of aqueos gastrointestinal juices druing digestion

-Kidneys: 7 diff aquaporins. Ppl with defective aqauporin 2 can't concentrate urine, drink 20 liter/day. During pregnancy cause water retention

-Lung hydration: 4 diff kinds

-Generation of tears

-Increases sweating: maintain body temp  

Term

Examples of environmental oxidants

 

The process when ROS is formed in the human body 

Definition

- smoking, UV radiation, heavy metals, asbestos, silica, detoxifcation of alcohol and drugs

 

-Human body forms ROS with every breathe we take

-5-10%  of electron transport in mitochondria respiration leads to formation of ROS

Term
C3 plants
Definition

- Need LESS ENERGY since they dont run two cycles

 

-Better in LESS SUNNY, MOIST, COOL CLIMATES

 

-More COLD TOLERANT 

Term
C4 plants
Definition

-PEP carboxylase MORE EFFICIENT

 

-Can fix Co2 with stomates less open

Can get more CO2 without loosing as much water 

 

-LESS FERTILIZER/WATER

 

-Better in HOT, DRY, SUNNY climates  

Term
Fluid-mosaic model of membrane and experimental evidence for it
Definition

-mosaic of phospholipids and proteins

 

-Freeze frame membrane and observe protein bumps

 

-Human/Mouse cell

They came together and saw a migration and mixture of proteins in one cell 

Term
Factors affecting fluidity in various organisms
Definition

 

Unsaturated- fluid, tails with kinks

 

Saturated- Not fluid 

Term

-Protein needed for movement of ______ molecule

 

-ATP needed when move from ___ to ____ concentration

Definition

-Protein needed for movement of hydrophilic molecule

 

-ATP needed when move from low to high concentration 

Term
The K+/NA+ pump
Definition

-pumps against high concentration gradients

NA high outside, K high inside

 

-Oscillates between two shapes

3 NA for 2 K

 

-ATP adds phosphate group for NA; it's released with K 

Term

Role and example of proton pumps coupled with a co-transporter

 

Definition
-H+ gradient maintained by ATP-driven proton pump that concentrates H+ outside the cell, thus storing potential energy that can be used for active transport--> sucrose
Term
Six principle functions and membrane proteins discussed in class
Definition

-Transport

-Enzymatic activity

-Signal Transduction

-Cell-Cell recognition

-Intercellular joining

-Attachment to cytoskeleton

and extracellular matrix  

Term
Principal difference in signal transduction of a protein hormone vs. a steriod hormone
Definition

- water soluble protein relay message via signal transduction pathway to gene regulatory protein

 

-Steroid hormones move into nucleus and bind directly to gene regulatory protein
