Carotenoids
Lipid derivative carbon chains with sixmembered rings at the end that are pigments which produce color in plants and animals

Carotenes & Xanthophylls
Porphyrins
aka tetrapyrroles are lipid derivatives that contain four pyrrole rings often complexed with metal such as porphyrin heme with Fe
Cofactors
Non protein molecule that an enzyme requires to function some can be metals or coenzymes. Most cannot be synthesized by body
Prosthetic groups
Cofactors that are covalently bonded to enzyme
Resolution
Differentiation between two closely spaced objects
Type of microscope that doesn't kill specimen
Phase contrast microscopy
rRNA synthesis occurs where?
Nucleolus
Plasmolysis
Shrivleling of cell in a hypertonic solution
Brownian Movement
Movement of particles due to kinetic energy
Karyokinesis
Nuclear Division
Cell phases & characteristics
Interphase - Chromosome duplication. Most of cell life
Prophase - Chromosomes condense & spindles form
Metaphase - Metaphase plate
Anaphase- Chromatids split
Telophase- cleavage furrow
Parthenogenesis
Ability for unfertilized egg to become adult
Nondisjunction
Failure of chromosome to separate during meiosis I or II causing trisomy and monosomies
Inducible System
Repressor binds to operator always and needs an inducer to bind to repressor in order to trancribe
Repressible system
Repressor doesn't bind unless a corpressor binds to repressor first. so translation always oocuring
Bacteriophage Cycles
Lytic is lysis and release of virus

Lysogenic is incorporation into bacterial chromosome as provirus and replicates with bacteria. Stays dormant till something triggers it
3 Primary germ layers & their development
Ectoderm - Integument, eye, & nervous system, nose mouth anus

Endoderm - Digestive & respiratory, parts of liver, pancreas, thyroid & bladder lining

Mesoderm - Skeletal & muscle systems, circulatory, excretory, connective tissue, gonads

Mesoderm
Chorion
Lies inside of shell and is moist membrane that permits gas exchange
Allantois
Sac-like structure that is involved in respiration, excretion and has blood vessesl to transport O2, CO2, water, salt and nitrogenous bases
Gastrin
Secretin
CCK
Gastrin - HCl
Secretin - Bicarbonate
CCK- Bile
Curare

Botox

Nerve gases & insecticides
Blocks ACH receptors resulting in paralysis

Prevents release of ACH resulting in paralysis

Anti cholinesterase
Spiracles & Tracheae
Respiratory parts of arthropods
Origin & Insertion
Origin is not moving bone
Insertion is moving bone
Temperate Deciduous Forest Biome
Cold winters, Warm suppers and moderate rainfall

Characterized by beech, maple, oak, willows
Temperate Coniferous Forest Biome
Cold and dry inhabited by fir, pine, spruce which evolved for water conservcation
Taiga
Tundra
Polar
Spruce, moss, lichens
Treeless, frozen plain
frozen area with no vegetation & terrestial animals
Zones of a marine biome
Tidal Zone
Littoral Zone
Pelagic Zone - Photic & Aphotic
Geometric Isomers
Cis Trans isomers
Conformational isomers
not even mirror images just rotation
