|
|
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| plasma membrane components | hydrophilic head, hydrophobic tail, embedded proteins
🗑
|
||||
| plasma membrane controls.... | movement of solutes in and out of cell
🗑
|
||||
| diffusion | high --> low concentration along gradient; no energy, PASSIVE
🗑
|
||||
| osmosis | moves high --> low H2O concentration; low --> high SOLUTE concentration; no energy, PASSIVE
🗑
|
||||
| facilitated diffusion | high --> low solute concentration, requires carrier protein, PASSIVE
🗑
|
||||
| active transport | moves AGAINST concentration gradient; requires ATP, ACTIVE
🗑
|
||||
| enzyme structure | = proteins; portion of enzyme binding substrate= active site
🗑
|
||||
| enzyme-substrate complex | enzyme acts upon substrate by binding to active site --> catalyze one specific reaction by lowering activation energy
🗑
|
||||
| factors affecting enzyme activity | pH, concentration of substrate & enzyme, temperature, cofactors
🗑
|
||||
| inhibition | 2 types= competitive & noncompetitive inhibition; overcome by increasing substrate concentration
🗑
|
||||
| glycolysis | ANAEROBIC catabolism of glucose --> pyruvate (doesn't require O2)
🗑
|
||||
| anaerobic respiration | occurs in absence of O2 --> 2 ATP/ glucose molecule (from glycolysis)
🗑
|
||||
| fermentation | begins w/ glycolysis, ends w/ conversion pyruvate --> LACTIC ACID (muscle cells) or ETHANOL (yeast)
🗑
|
||||
| aerobic respiration | occurs in presence of O2 --> 36 ATP/ glucose molecule
🗑
|
||||
| pyruvate decarboxylation | pyruvate --> acetyl CoA
🗑
|
||||
| Krebs cycle (citric acid cycle) | breakdown of acetyl CoA --> NADH, FADH2, ATP
🗑
|
||||
| ETC/ oxidative phosphorylation | O2= final electron acceptor --> becomes H2O
🗑
|
||||
| mitosis | prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase --> 2 identical daughter cells (somatic), 2n
🗑
|
||||
| meiosis | discontinuous in females, germ cells, 2 rounds of PMAT (cell division), n
🗑
|
||||
| spermatogenesis | spermatogonium (2n) --> primary spermatocyte (2n) --> meiosis I --> secondary spermatocytes (n) --> meiosis II --> sperm cells (n)
🗑
|
||||
| path of sperm | SEVEN UP= Seminiferous tubules, Epidymis, Vas deferens, Ejaculatory duct, Nothing, Urethra, Penis
🗑
|
||||
| oogenesis | oogonium (2n) --> primary oocyte --> meiosis I --> 1 secondary oocyte, 1 first polar body --> meiosis II --> ovum (n), second polar body
🗑
|
||||
| products of spermatogenesis vs. oogenesis | spermatogenesis 1 --> 4 sperms; oogenesis 1 --> 1 ovum, contains all organelles
🗑
|
||||
| embryogenesis: development | fertilized ovum --> MORULA (solid ball of cells) --> BLASTULA (hollow ball of cells w/ fluid center) --> GASTRULA (3 layer cell)
🗑
|
||||
| primary germ layers: ectoderm | derived from nervous system (brain/ spinal cord), epidermis, lens of eye, inner ear
🗑
|
||||
| primary germ layer: endoderm | from epithelial lining of digestive tract, lungs, liver, pancreas
🗑
|
||||
| primary germ layer: mesoderm | from muscles, skeleton, circulatory system, gonads, kidneys
🗑

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.
