| during the follicular phase, estradiol levels are | initially low, inhibiting LH, until growth and subsequent LH surge |
| In luteal phase, estradiol and progesterone levels: | estradiol levels are low, progesterone levels high |
| Rise in progesterone levels during luteal phase | inhibits LH and FSH, causes thickened uterine lining |
| the corpus luteum secretes | progesterone |
| High progesterone causes...(high or low LH) | Low LH |
| No fertilization- | progesterone levels fall as corpus luteum degenerates, fall in progesterone causes lining to shed |
| whats bigger- ovary or ovule | ovary |
| POllen grain includes | tube cell nucleus and generative cell |

| What is photorespiration | reverse of photosynthesis, occurs when Rubisco adds O2 to Rubp rather than Co2 increases in hot and dry conditions |
| C3 pathway | "classic" rubisco catalyzes CO2 to RuBP @ bundle sheath cells |
| C4 pathway | CO2 is first fixed by Pep carboxylase @mesophyll cells, 4C product is transported to bundle sheath cells for Calvin |
| C4 is more efficient because | releases C at bundle sheath cells near Rubisco, higher affinity than O2 |
| CAM | Like C4, uses Pep carboxylase, acts as a CO2 concentrator before calvin cycle, make 4C compund. Stomata open at night, let in CO2 into CAM cycle, Calvin happens during the day with stomata closed |

| Who digests protein in the stomach | Pepsin- stored as inactive form pepsinogen, activated by acid |
| Pancreatic lipase | digests lipids in SI, but needs bile salts to first emulsify fats |
| What cells secrete HCl | Parietal cells. Pump out H using ATP. Carbonic acid is exchanged for Cl at the basolateral side. CL diffuses into lumen |
| What secretes pepsinogen | chief cells |
| Proteases function where | the SI, they are made in inactive form in the pancreas |
| enteropeptidase activates | trypsin from trypsinogen, activates all other proteases |
| secretin hormone | in response to food arrival in stomach |
| Insulin | secreted by pancreas when blood glucose is too high. Acts by binding to receptors on cells and increasing their glucose uptake |
| When blood glucose is too low, pancreas secretes | glucagon. stimulates liver cells to beak down glycogen into glucose |
| Type 1 diabete | dont synthesize insulin bc insulin producing cells of pancreas are self-destroyed Type 2 - cells resistant to insulin |
| Acid growth hyporthesis | proton pumps out, cell is neg inside so K+ enters, water follows |
| Phytochrome | A pigment protein with two conformations. When Pr absorbs red light it converts to Pfr, when Pfr absorbs far red light it converts back to Pr. Pfr form activates seed germination because it means there hasnt been any Far red light. |
| Which phytochrome conformation encourages germination? | Pfr |

| parthenogenesis | asexual repro, identical DNA |
| lymphocytes are | B and T cells, mature in bone marrow and thymus |
| Each B cell makes | one specific kind of antibody |
| Antibodies vs B cell receptors | identical, but secreted rather than transmembrane |
| BCRs | cover the surface of B cells. recognize specific antigen epitope. |
| Once the BCR contacts epitope of antigen | B cell will display antigen via class II MHC protein on its surface. Complementary TH2 will bind to MHC protein-antigen complex, and activate the B cell via cytokines, activated B cell will divide and make antibodies |
| TH2 vs TH1 | TH2 activates B cells. TH1 activates cytotoxic T cells |
| BCR can bind | directly to antigen epitope |
| TCRs cannot bind | directly to antigen. The need other cells like dentritic cells to process antigen into peptide fragments and display via MHC proteins |
| cross linking | On a B cell, BCRs will bind many epitopes at once- activates B cell kind of. once activated, cloning happens |

| CD8 t cells become | cytotoxic t cells, will destroy infected cells |
| CD4 t cells become | helper t cells. TH1-activate cytotoxic t cells. TH2-activate B cells |
| B cell displays antigen fragments and needs permission from | TH2 cell to activate. |
| humoral response | especially effective for antigens outside cells. involves TH2 cells activating B cells that make antibodies- opsonization, neutralization, agglutination, lethal proteins |
| cell mediated response | target infected host cells (intracellular antigens). involves TH1 cells that activate phago and cytotoxic t cells |
