Physio Weeks 1-6

Physio Weeks 1-6 Midpoint Study Guide

QuestionAnswer
Four components of a feedback loop are: 1. Sensor: Detects change, 2. Control center: analyzes info 3. Effector: carries our respnse 4. Feedback; continuous info flow.
Name the three levels of homeostatic control: Intracellular: regulation within cells (genes/enzymes). Intrinsic: regulation within organs (local chemical signals). Extrinsic: between organs (nervous/endocrine systems)
DNA structure is made up of A double helix of nucleotides (deoxyribose, phosphate, bases A-T, C-G. Stores heredity info.
RNA structure is made up of SIngle strand (ribose, phosphate, bases A-U, G-C. Makes proteins and regulates genes.
Protein's four structural levels are Primary (sequence), secondary (coils/sheets, tertiary (3D folding), and quaternary (multiple chains.
Examples of passive transport where no energy is required are: Diffusion: movement down a concentration gradient. Simple diffusio: directly through a bilayer Osmosis: water moves across a semipermeable membrane; Facilitated diffusion: transport proteins, channel or carrier mediated
Examples of active transport (requires energy) Pumps substances against gradients (Na+/K+ pumps, Ca2 pumps) Vesicle trasport moves bulk substaces.
The roles of passive and active transport are: Passive transport naintains homeostasis by moving molecules down gradients. Active transport concentrates substances, enables secretion and uptake.
Enzymes are catalysts that lower activation energy and regulate metabolism.
The steps of transcription of mRNA are as follows 1. DNA molecue unzips the region of the gene to be transcribed. 2. RNA nucleotides temporarily attach to exposed DNA bases along one strand of unzipped DNA. 3. As nucleotides attach, they bind to each other and form chainlije RNA strand called mRNA.
Mitotic cell division has four phases: Prophase: "before phase" nuclear envelope falls apart. Metaphase: "position changing phase" chromosomes align in the middle. Anaphase: "apart phase" centromere splits into two chromosomes, pulled to opposite poles. Telophase: "end phase: mature cell

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
