which transport flows from high to low? passive transport
function of gap junctions is to communicate between cells and allow tiny molecules to pass through
function of tight junctions? block, prevent leakages of fluid
phagocytosis ingestion of solid particles SOLID
pinocytosis ingestion of liquid particles LIQUID
receptor mediated endocytosis receptors on the cell bind substances and ingest them
first law of thermodynamics energy is not created or destroyed

catabolic reactiions break things down
anabolic reactions build things, use ADP and Pi to make ATP (endergonic)
endergonic reactions require ____ of energy input
exergonic reactions ___ energy release
what is free energy? delta G. amount of energy available in a system to perform work
what is the energy carrier of the cell ATP
what are enzymes and what do they do? enzymes are catalysts and they stimulate reactions
what is the active site of an anzyme restricted region of the enzyme where the substrate binds
difference between competitive and noncompetitive inhibition competitive inhibition- inhibitors mimic substrate, competing for active site noncompetitive inhibition- inhibitor binds to enzyme, changes shape of active site
end product of a metabolic pathway. switches off the process by blocking the active site negative feedback
a substrate with a phosphate group joins its phosphate to ADP with an enzyme's help substrate level phosphorylation
oxidative phosphorylation produces? ATP derived from redox reactions
what is oxidized to yield energy in cellular respiration? glucose
where is H2O produced as a waste product in cellular respiration? The ETC
what does the ETC yield 36 or 28 ATP and O2 as waste product
where do light reactions take place? thylakoids of chloroplast
what do light reactions produce? O2
where do dark reactions take place? stroma
what do dark reactions produce sugar (CH20)
why are plants green? they absorb violet-blue and red and reflect green light
cell cycle. shortest, mitosis or division M
cell cycle. first growth phase of the cell cycle consisting of the portion of interphase before DNA synthesis begins. makes proteins and replicates organelles G1
cell cycle. copies chromosomes/replicates DNA S
second growth phase of cell cycle, portion of interphase after DNA synthesis occurs. inventory of errors G2
cell cycle. what occurs between G2 and G1? checkpoints within the cell
cell cycle. where is the restriction point? G1
which cells never divide? nerve and muscle
division of somatic cells chromosome number does NOT change consists of four phases (PMAT) mitosis
chromatin condenses mitotic spindle begins to form nucleus and nucleolus are still intact chromosomes move toward the center of the cell prophase
spindle is complete chromosomes are aligned at the metaphase plate metaphase
chromatids of each chromosome have separated daughter chromosomes are moving to poles of cell anaphase
daughter nuclei are forming cytokinesis has begun chromosome becomes less condensed telophase
division of sex cells consists of meiosis I and meiosis II cell goes from diploid to haploid meoisis
___ is the point where the chromosomes cross over chiasma
____ the number of chromosomes in meiosis one and _____ the chromosomes in meiosis II reduce, divide
ratio for dihybrid crosses if BOTH parents are heterozygous for BOTH traits 9:3:3:1 (nine dominant for both, three dominant for one recessive for other, three recessive for one dominant for other, one recessive for both)
complete dominance one allele expressed over other
codominance both alleles are expressed in some way (i.e spotted snapdragon)

jacobs syndrome not bad. normal male ends up being XYY
turner's syndrome also called monosomy X produces XO females sterile only known in monosomy humans

what is genetic drift? change in the gene pool of small populations due to chance
bottleneck effect a genetic drift attributed to colonization of an area by limited number of individuals from the parent population
