Question
Answer
Ingestion   acquisition of food  
🗑
Assimilation   building of new tissues from digested food  
🗑
Monosaccharide   (carb) single sugar subunit  
🗑
Polysaccharide   carb) polymer, insoluble in water; ex: glycogen / cellulose Lipids  
🗑
Proteins   polymers of AA joined by peptide bond / 1* = AA sequence, 2* = folding (alpha beta) · Hormones (ACTH & insulin), Enzymes, structural pro (collagen), transport (hemoglobin), antibodieS  
🗑
Enzymes   lower activation E & inc. rate of rxn / do not affect overall E · Higher temp = inc enzyme action / optimal pH = 7.2 (except pepsin & pancreas)  
🗑
Competitive inhibitors   compete w/ substrate for binding at ACTIVE site; can be overcome by adding more substrate; Vmax not affected  
🗑
Noncompetitive inhibitors   bind at allosteric site; diminishes Vmax  
🗑
Prokaryotes   bacteria, cell wall, NO nucleus, NO memb-bound organelles, ribosomes (no mem), mesosomes (invaginations of membrane)  
🗑
Eukaryotes   cell wall in fungi & plants, nucleus, membrane-bound organelles  
🗑
Centrioles   microtubule involved in spindle organization during cell division/ NO membrane  
🗑
Centromere   near middle of eukaryotic chromosomes where spindle fibers attach  
🗑
Lysosome   membrane bound, involved in ingestion / hydrolytic enzymes  
🗑
Mitochondria   exhibit maternal inheritance  
🗑
desmosomes   “spot welds”; attach cells together and give cells mechanical strength (ex. skin cells)  
🗑
Tight junctions   seal the spaces b/w cells and prevent cell leakage (ex. intestinal cells)  
🗑
Gap junctions   allow cells to exchange nutrients and for molecular communication  
🗑
Endosymbiotic Theory   mitochondria and chloroplasts originated as independent unicellular organisms living in symbiosis with larger cells  
🗑
Fluid Mosaic   lipids and proteins are free to move back and forth fluidly; diffuse laterally ‑Integral Membrane are embedded in membrane by hydrophobic interactions ‑Peripheral are stuck to integral membrane proteins by H bonding  
🗑
Cell surface Receptors   type of integral membrane protein; three types: ligand-gated (open ion channel), catalytic, and G-protein  
🗑
G-Protein   use secondary messengers such as cAMP which amplify signal  
🗑


   

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.
