Fluid movement across them measured by Starling equation. Discontinuous endothelial cells allow for higher permeability. Can be just one cell thick. Form vasa recta. Formations known as beds. Smallest of 3 major animal blood vessels. | Capillaries |
SNARE proteins facilitate reassembly of Golgi bodies. Results in several karyomeres. Creation of cell plate in plants, cleavage furrow in animals. Formation of nuclear envelopes. Between anaphase and cytokinesis. | Telophase |
Some heterozygotes resistant to Salmonella typhi. Affords some carriers protection against cholera. Abnormality in namesake transmembrane conductance regulator. Recessive disease characterized by disruption of chloride ion transfer across cell membranes. | Cystic fibrosis |
Means "middle leaf." Located between upper and lower epidermis. Contains palisade cells. | Mesophyll |
Similar to mitochondria. Found in plants, contain chlorophyll. Fluid inside is called stroma. | Chloroplast |
These are the interconnected, sac like structures found in chloroplasts. When they are stacked, they are called grana. | Thylakoids |
Catecholamine. Triggers vasocontriction in smooth muscle, dilates blood vessels in skeletal muscle. Causes glycogen to be broken down into glucose. Used to treat anaphylactic shock. Secreted by gland above kidneys. Responsible. Fight or flight response. | Adrenaline |
Process. First part sees formation of tetrads. Produces 4 haploi cells called gametes. | Meiosis |
Mediate interactions between nervous system and rest of body. GABA is chief inhibitory one. Signaling chemicals. Example=acetylcholine. | Neurotransmitters |
Gap between neuron and other cell. Neurotransmitters travel across to open ion channels. | Synapse |
Neurotransmitter. Modulates anger, body temp, metabolism, sleep cycle. Some antidepressants inhibit reuptake. | Seratonin |
Cardiolipin that bind these can cause Barth syndrome. Kearnes-Sayre syndrome is due to 5000 base pair deletions. Home to electron transport chain. | Mitochondria |
Undifferentiated cells. Come in totipotent and pluripotent varieties. Blastocysts have embryonic ones. | Stem cells |
Members of this phylum can regenerate from totipotent stem cells. Includes sponges. Skeletal elements called spicules. | Porifera |
Hemolythic F4+ strains of one variety cause spticemia. Entero-hemorrhagic variety produces Shiga toxins. Most strains facilitate digestion and produce B12. | E. coli |
Heterotrophic and have a cell wall of chitin. Mushrooms, mildews, and yeasts are these. | Fungi |
This molecule was used to show that type II-R pneumococci could become virulent. Meselson-Stahl experiment was about these. Hershey-Chase experiment confirms this molecule's purpose. | DNA |
Transports sperm from testicles to the urethra. Duct that's sealed off during a vasectomy. | Ductus or vas deferens. |
Lotus effect represents adaptation of this to moisture. Floccose and bearded used to describe their hairs. Analogous to the frond of the fern. Has guard cells and stomata. | Leaves |
