Exam 1: Chapter 2 Molecules and Cells

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Proximate causation is the building block of cells. How does venom affect the the building blocks of cells?   Venom affect molecules and cells by reacting with certain functions of the system to immortalize it's functions.  
🗑
Phospholipid   a polar molecule that acts as a membrane (bi-layer) in different structures of the body (ex. cell membranes, nuclear envelope, organs, etc.)  
🗑
Phospholipid Bi-layer   composes cell membrane; a layer of the phospholipids that are embedded with different structures to help the body function  
🗑
Why do membranes exhibit a fluid motion?   this membrane has a fluid mobility due to its fatty acids tails  
🗑
What are the differences between the head and the tails of the phopholipid?   The head of the phosopholipd is hydrophilic and polar in charge. The tail of the phospholipd is hydrophobic and nonpolar in charge.  
🗑
What makes the phosphlipid amphipathic?   The phosphlipid is amphipathic because it has a both hydrophilic and hydrophobic parts.  
🗑
Saturated Fats   Single bonded carbon chain loaded with H bonds (ex. lard, butter)  
🗑
Unsaturated Fats   *Has at least one double bond in its carbon chain (ex. oil) *Works similarly to membrane fluidity  
🗑
Poly-saturated Fats   Has multiple double carbon bonds in its carbon chain  
🗑
What is the correlation to natural selection and fluidity of the tails in fish?   As some fish are found in higher temperature the percentage of unsaturated fats in their tail are seen less.  
🗑
Fluid Mosaic Model   consists of a mosaic of proteins and lipid molecules; exemplifies the structure and and function of a cell membrane  
🗑
Proteins   amino acids in a polypeptide chain are linked by peptide bonds  
🗑
Amino Acids   organic compounds that combine to form proteins; composed of amino group, carboxylic group and a side chain.  
🗑
Protein Structure: Primary   specific sequence or colvalent bonds of an amino acid chain  
🗑
Protein Structure: Secondary   due to charges and different amino acids *alpha helices * beta pleated sheets  
🗑
Protein Structure: Tertiary   folding on itself; gives the structure function; only one subunit  
🗑
Protein Structure: Quartiary   multiple subunits (ex. hemoglobin)  
🗑
Epithelia   Membranous tissue composed of one or more layers of cells separated by very little intercellular substance and forming the covering of most internal and external surfaces of the body, its organs, and lines cavities  
🗑
Simple Epithelia   single layer of cells that cover body; used to exchange material through the membrane; found in intestines, kidney tubles, blood vessels and sweat glands  
🗑
Simple Squamous   flat, simple epithelia (ex. blood vessels)  
🗑
Cell Membrane   encloses animal cells  
🗑
Intracellular Membrane   encloses cell organelles  
🗑
Phospholipid Head   polar: -P group and + Chlorine group; hydrophylic; associates with water  
🗑
Phospholipid Tail   nonpolar: chain of CH, derived from fatty acids; hydrophobic  
🗑
Leaflets   two phospholipid layers  
🗑
What does fluidity depend on?   Fluidity depends on chemical saturation. The more saturated a molecule is, the more fluid it will become.  
🗑
Integral Membrane Protein (Transmembrane Protein)   part of the membrane; cannot be removes without disassembling the membrane; amphipathic  
🗑
Peripheral Membrane Protein   within a membrane; cannot be removed without destroying the membrane; noncovalently (weak) bonded to membrane; on one side or the other of membrane  
🗑
Channels   permits diffusion of sloutes in an aqueous solution  
🗑
Transporter (Carrier)   binds noncovalently and reversibly with specific molecules or ions to move across the membrane  
🗑
Enzyme   catyllizes a chemical reaction  
🗑
Receptor   binds with molecules and initiates change in membrane permeability or cell metabolism; mediates responses of cell messages  
🗑
Structural Protein   attaches to molecules; creates junctions; establishes structural relations  
🗑
Domain   repeating structure patterns of proteins  
🗑
Carbohydrates   covalently bonded; part of intracellular membrane; hydrophilic-resides on membrane surface; attachment points for extracellular proteins and as cell recognition sites  
🗑
Apical Surface   facing into a cavity or open space  
🗑
Basal Surface   facing underlying tissue  
🗑
Basement Membrane   thin, permeable, noncellular, nonliving material; point of attachment composed of glycoproteins  
🗑
Columnar   tall, wide; line mid-gut; apical surface faces lumen  
🗑
Microvilli   finger-like projections used for absorbtion and secretion  
🗑
Brush Boarder   Microvilli collection  
🗑
REVIEW PROTEIN MODEL    
🗑
Ampipathic   has polar and non-polar components  
🗑
Ligand   general term for a molecule that binds to a protein  
🗑
Enzyme Ligand   Substrates and other molecules that bind to other enzymes  
🗑
Positive Cooperativity   allows binding of ligands (or molecules) in a substrate  
🗑
Negative Cooperativity   inhibits binding of ligands (or molecules) in a substrate  
🗑
Non-Cooperativity   Has no effect on ligands (or molecules)  
🗑


   

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.
