Don't miss anything!
a structure composed of 2 or more tissues with a defined anatomical boundary is a(n) - ANSWER>>organ
what is alloristic regulation and what does it involve - ANSWER>>the regulation of an enzyme by binding an effector molecule to somewhere besides the active site of the enzyme
what factors impact the permeability of a phospholipid bilayer - ANSWER>>polarity, electric charge, molar mass of the molecules that diffuse through it, proteins, glycolipids or proteins, cholesterol content, temperature/kinetic energy that impacts the movement of the fluidity, and other solvents thatwill damage or denaturation of proteins in the phospholipid bilayer.
which would be the most highly selective region of the nephron - ANSWER>>the protinal tubule/bowman's capsule ( they are the filtering units of your kidney)

what is the single polypeptide seen embedded in this bilayer to the right? - ANSWER>>
much of the energy made available when ATP is converted to ADP is due to - ANSWER>>the high energy phosphoanhydride bond broken by hydrolysis in the production of a phosphodiester group in the resulting P

how to make a complimentary strand of DNA - ANSWER>>A-T
G-C
and opposite direction
from STLM see if you can determine what would happen is the communication between the SA node and the AV node became blocked out - ANSWER>>
The phosphorlyation of a sodium potassium pump in a cell membrane would be an example of - ANSWER>>active transport across a membrane
the H+ and OH- concentrations should MULTIPLY to get to the value of 10^-14 - ANSWER>>10^-
oxygen is the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain which means that - ANSWER>>it is reduced and extremely electronegative
a molecule that can dissolve easily in water would be considered - ANSWER>>polar
an amoeba, a freshwater organism is suddenly exposed to an extracellular fluid that has a higher salt concentration. at that moment, what would the cell do? - ANSWER>>it would shrivel/be plasmolesized
what are homologous chromosomes? where do they appear and when?` - ANSWER>>paired chromosomes with genes for the same traits arranged in the same order and they appear during moisis and mitosis
the primary feature that seperates a benign tumor from a malignant tumor -
of single human chromosomes - ANSWER>>
be able to explain/interpret what this diagram is demonstrating - ANSWER>>
which of the following hydrocarbons has a double bond in its carbon skeleton - ANSWER>>
acetylation of histones and methylation of histones would explain - ANSWER>>transcription and translation
Mendel's monohybrid experimental work with garden peas enabled him - ANSWER>>
a fully functional ribosome would contain - ANSWER>>
cells found in the ear contain small hairs called stereocilia. These hair cells respond to the pressure of a sound wave to either depolarize or hyperpolarize. WHich of the following hyptheses could explain the mechanism of this effect? - ANSWER>>
What sorts of structures or adaptations might increase the surface area of an organ - ANSWER>>flaps or vili or microvili
chemically-gated/ligand-gated ion channels are found at synapses and would respond to - ANSWER>>
during atrial systole - ANSWER>>Systole, period of contraction of the ventricles of the heart that occurs between the first and second heart sounds of the cardiac cycle (the sequence of events in a single heart beat). Systole causes the ejection of blood into the aorta and pulmonary trunk. Lasting usually 0.3 to 0.4 second, ventricular systole is introduced by a very brief period of contraction, followed by the ejection phase, during which 80 to 100 cc of blood leave each ventricle. During systole, arterial blood pressure reaches its peak (systolic blood pressure), normally about 90 to 120 mm of mercury in humans. In an electrocardiogram (ECG, or EKG), the beginning of ventricular systole is marked by the deflections of the QRS complex. Atrial systole occurs toward the end of
ventricular diastole, completing the filling of the ventricles. In an ECG, atrial systole is associated with atrial depolarization, or the P wave deflection. "Systole" may also refer to the contraction stage of the contractile vacuole in protozoans. Compare diastole. See also blood pressure.
with few exceptions, human skeletal muscle contains both fast and slow-twitch muscle fibers in proportions, to a degree, that are generrtucally predetermined. However, through conditioning, anyone can improve the endurance level of his or her fast twitch skeletal muscle fibers because - ANSWER>>
when insulin is moved into the blood - ANSWER>>
the statement that the genetic code is redundant but unambiguous means that - ANSWER>>multiple codons speficy one amino acid, no codon specifies multiple amino acids?
autoimmune diseases result from a breakdown in the body's ability to - ANSWER>>recognize non threatening parts of your own body that your immune system attacks
example/s below of hormones produced in the gonads would be - ANSWER>>testosterone, estrogen and progesterone
under normal circumstances in humans, if during the luteal phase, progesterone levels continue to drop - ANSWER>>
what are antibodies - ANSWER>>created by b cells and only bind to one antigen. They are Y shaped proteins that cling to antigens and mark them to be killed by T cells
which major blood vessels would you find in the systemic circulation - ANSWER>>left ventrical pumps Oxygen rich blood to the aorta to be circulated through the rest of the body
