Question
Answer
stem cells   produce lymphocytes by mitosis.  
🗑
Glycine   is the only optically inactive amino acid, since it has no chiral carbons.  
🗑
pKa   half-equivalence pH. Amino acid deprotonates @ higher pH & becomes protonated @ lower pH.  
🗑
gout   uric acid crystals deposit in tissues (ex. big toe)  
🗑
Diabetes insipidus   caused by insufficient vasopressin production  
🗑
PKU disease   high amt. of the amino acid, phenylalanine, in blood; can cause mental retardation  
🗑
Hashimoto’s disease   involves thyroid  
🗑
Fatty acid and environment   In a warmer environment, the organism will want to increase its % ofunsaturated fatty acids, so that fatty acids will be more fluid and the melting point will decrease.  
🗑
Prokaryotes lack ___________in their membranes, unlike eukaryotes.   cholesterol  
🗑
hemizygous   only having one copy of a chromosome  
🗑
Barr body   inactivated X chromosome  
🗑
activity of sweat glands _______ as we age   decrease  
🗑
as body temperature increases, blood vessels ____   dilate  
🗑
fertilization membrane   tough protective envelope developed by the sea urchin as a block to polyspermy  
🗑
Arterioles offer the greatest _____ to blood flow in the circulation   resistance  
🗑
If the phenotype “skips” generations be suspicious of an _______ disorder   autosomal recessive  
🗑
- if there is no skip of phenotypes in generations, it is most likely an _______ disorder   autosomal dominant  
🗑
-Be suspicious for an _______ disorder if a father doesn’t have the phenotype and none of his daughters display it.   X-linked recessive  
🗑
Cephalopods   have high O*2 demand, giant nerve fibers, & a closed circulatory system  
🗑
Sporazoans   division of Protozoan; diverse group of parasites (ex. plasmodium), cause malaria in humans  
🗑
How many quarts of blood in an average sized adult   5  
🗑
In a typical antibody, the heavy and light chains are linked by _____bonds.   disulfide  
🗑
Erythroblastosis fetalis   Rh- mother (no Rh antigen, makes Rh antibodies), Rh+ fetus  
🗑
Founder effects and bottlenecks   occur when a population is originated or rebuilt from very few individuals = ex. of genetic drift, amt. of genetic variation is very limited.  
🗑
Genetic/Population bottleneck   result of a disaster nearly wiping out a large population  
🗑
Endocytosis   aka pinocytosis, uses ATP  
🗑
plasmolysis   shrinkage of a cell due to water loss  
🗑
Ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny   refers to embryonic stages of development of an organism repeat the evolutionary history of the species  
🗑
Streptococci   can be virulent, form chains  
🗑
staphylococci   form clusters  
🗑
Purple/green bacteria   in the anaerobic sediments of lakes/ponds, carry out photosynthesis with H2, H2S, or D as the electron donor, oxygen is not a byproduct.  
🗑
pH of lysosome is ___, pH of cytosol is ___-   5, 7-- Starch and glucose  
🗑
Peptides   can only be linear.  
🗑
Nerve gas   inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase, and cause death respiratory paralysis  
🗑
Tay Sachs disease   autosomal recessive disease; lipid buildup in brain cells from lysosomal enzyme defect  
🗑
Cells of PCT & DCT   are very rich in mitochondria because of active transport.  
🗑
Ammonia   waste product of aquatic animals; uric acid = birds, reptiles, & insects  
🗑
Dynein   motor protein; used for movement in 9+2 flagella & cilia; may also be used in chromosomal movement  
🗑
Cytoskeleton   microtubules (ex. flagella & cilia), microfilaments, intermediate filaments.  
🗑
Myoglobin curve   hyperbolic, Hemoglobin curve = sigmoidal. Myoglobin has higher affinity for O2 than hemoglobin. Myoglobin has no change in O2 binding over a pH range.  
🗑
Epidermis   has no blood supply, and depends on dermis for oxygen and nutrients.  
🗑
Higher metabolic rate   higher oxygen demand = hemoglobin not as saturated with O2  
🗑
Lower metabolic rate   lower O2demand = more saturated  
🗑
A _____ includes crossover frequencies.   genetic map  
🗑
homologues   homologous chromosomes and/or sister chromatids  
🗑
ex. of autosomal recessive disorders   PKU disease, sickle-cell anemia, and galactosemia  
🗑
parasite & host__________ mimic each other   population densities  
🗑
decrease in telomere   causes aging  
🗑
recombinant DNA   made when you modify plasmid DNA for use as a vector and inject specific DNA into a cell  
🗑
Episome   chromosome integrated with plasma DNA  
🗑
apoptosis   planned cell death (ex. diabetes)  
🗑
Necrosis   traumatic cell death  
🗑
protobionts   metabolically active protein clusters; precursor to the prokaryote  
🗑
People with Down Syndrome are prone to   leukemia and Alzheimer’s disease.  
🗑
ruminants   animals w/ stomachs of alkaline pH; usually 4 chambers capable of digesting cellulose  
🗑
