Question
Answer
What are desmosomes/hemidesmosmes?   adhesion molecules (cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix), which anchor cells  
🗑
What are tight junctions?   cell-cell occluding junctions and form an impermeable barrier  
🗑
What are gap junctions?   allow communication between cells (connexin subunits)  
🗑
What are G proteins?   Intramembrane proteins, transduce signal from receptor to response enzyme  
🗑
What is ligand-triggered protien kinase?   Receptor and response enzyme are a single transmembrane protien  
🗑
What is a cell membrane?   A lipid bilayer that contains protiens, enzymes, and receptors, cholesterol increases membrane fluidity  
🗑
True or False: cells are negative on the inside compared to the outside.   True, based on Na/K ATPase (3Na out/2 K in)  
🗑
What are the major cations?   Na, K, Ca, Mg  
🗑
What are the major anions?   Cl, HCO3, SO4, HPO4, protien, organic anions  
🗑
What are ABO blood type antigens?   Glycolipids on cell membrane  
🗑
What are HLA type antigens?   Glycoprotiens (Gp) on cell membrane  
🗑
What is osmotic equilibrium?   Water will move from an area of low solute concentration to high solute concentration  
🗑
G1 phase of cell cycle   Cell contents duplicate, Protein synthesis, most variable, determines cell cycle length  
🗑
S phase of cell cycle   Chromosomal duplication  
🗑
G2 phase of cell cycle   Metabolic changes, prepare for mitosis  
🗑
M phase of cell cycle   nucleus divides (Mitosis) followed by cell division (cytokinesis)  
🗑
What is the restriction point?   In G1 phase, cell is commited to division and moves on to S phase, or goes to G0 cell cycle arrest  
🗑
What are the phases if mitosis?   Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase  
🗑
What is Prophase?   Centromere attachment, spindle formation, and nucleus disappears  
🗑
What is Metaphase?   Chromosome alignment  
🗑
What is Anaphase?   Chromosome pulled apart  
🗑
What is Telophase?   Separate nucleus re-forms around each set of chromosomes  
🗑
Nucleus   double membrane, outer membrane continuous with rough endoplasmic reticulum  
🗑
Nucleolus   inside the nucleus, no membrane, and produces ribosomes  
🗑
Transcription   DNA strand is used as a template by RNA polymerase for synthesis of a mRNA strand  
🗑
Transcription factors   bind DNA and help the transcription of genes Steriod and thyroid hormones, AP-1, NFKB, STAT, NFAT  
🗑
Steriod hormones role in transcription   bind receptors in cytoplasm, then enters nucleus and acts as transcription factor  
🗑
Thyroid hormone role in transcription   bind receptors in nucleus, then acts as transcription factor  
🗑
Initiation factors   bind RNA polymerase and initiate transcription  
🗑
DNA polymerase chain reaction   oligonucleotides used to amplify specific DNA sequences  
🗑
Purines   guainine and adenine guanine forms 1 hydrogen bond with cytosine adenine forms 2 hydrogen bonds with either thymidine or uracil  
🗑
Pyrimidines   cytosine and thymidine(DNA) and uracil(RNA)  
🗑
Translation   mRNA is used as a template by ribosomes for synthesis of protein  
🗑
Ribosomes   have small and large subunits that read mRNA, then bind appropriate tRNAs that have amino acids, and make proteins  
🗑
Products of glycolysis   1 glucose= 2 ATP and 2 pyruvate molecules  
🗑
Pyruvate is used in what other cycle?   Kreb cycle  
🗑
Mitochondria   have 2 membranes, Kreb cycle on inner matrix, create NADH/FADH2  
🗑
Products of Kreb cycle   2 pyruvate= NADH and FADH2  
🗑
NADH and FADH2 are used in what?   electron transport chain to create ATP  
🗑
1 glucose molecule produce how many ATP?   36 ATP  
🗑
Gluconeogenesis   process by whch lactic acid and amino acids are converted to glucose (in liver)  
🗑
Cori cycle   gluconeogenesis (in liver) produces glucose that is transported to glycolysis (in muscle) to produce pyruvate and then lactate, where lactate is then transported to liver to be used for gluconeogenesis  
🗑
True or False: Acetyl CoA can be converted to pyruvate.   False, fats and lipids are not available for gluconeogenesis b/c acetyl CoA can NOT be converted back to pyruvate  
🗑
Rough endoplasmic reticulum   synthesizes proteins that are exported, increased in pancreatic acinar cells  
🗑
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum   lipid/steriod synthesis,detoxifies drugs, increased in liver and adrenal cortex  
🗑
Golgi apparatus   modifies proteins with carbs; proteins are then transported to the cellular membrane, are secreted, or are targeted to lysosomes  
🗑
Lysosomes   digestive enzymes that degrade engulfed particle and worn out organelles  
🗑
Phagosomes   engulfed large particle; then fuse with lysosomes  
🗑
Endosomes   engulfed small particles; fuse with lysosomes  
🗑
Protein kinase A   activated by cAMP, phosphorylates other enzymes  
🗑
Protein kinase C   activated by calcium and diacylglycerol(DAG), phosphorylates  
🗑
Myosin   thick filament, uses ATP to slide along actin to cause muscle contraction  
🗑
Actin   thin filament, interact with myosin  
🗑
Intermediate filaments   keratin (hair/nails), desmin (muscle), vimentin (fibroblasts)  
🗑
Microtubules   form specialized cellular structures such as cilia, neuronal axons, and mitotic spindles, also transport organelles in the cell  
🗑
Centriole   specialized microtubule involved in cell division  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
