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 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
