What is
Necrosis Cell swelling Nuclear disintegration Dissolution of cell membranes Inflammation Involves whole organs or large part of the organ Apoptosis Cell shrinkage Chromatin condensation Cytoplasmic blebbing, apoptotic bodies No inflammation Single or small groups of cells
Explain the differences between apoptosis and necrosis. (22.1.4)
|
What is This mutation in ras, which helps cause cell proliferation and division, permanently activates it.
Explain why the RasG12V is an oncogene (19.1.7)
This mutation in ras, which helps cause cell proliferation and division, permanently activates it. |
What is phosphorylation or GTP binding/hydrolysis
Two most common form of protein regulation is… (3.3.14)
|
What is Conservation of gene order in chromosomes despite shuffling.
Define synteny. (10.2.15)
|
What is Cytochrome c
Which has a higher redox potential, ubiquinone or cytochrome c? (16.21)
|
What is False
True/False: A gene duplication of N-myc would reduce the likelihood of cancer. (24.24)
|
What is During development, a randomly selected x chromosome gets inactivated (heterochromatin) in females.
Males have one x chromosome and females have two. How come females don't have superpowers that give them double the ability as males in x-linked genes? (one could argue that they do have superpowers)(4.43)
|
What is Remember to draw your replication fork!
Name 5 components of DNA replication and their function (5.2)
|
What is
Ligand gating Voltage gating Stretch or pressure gating Phosphorylation gating
Name some of the different types of gated ion channels. (13.28)
|
What is MAP kinase
What pathway does ras activate? (19.1.9)
|
What is Flippases
What maintains the composition of the plasma membrane? It makes sure the specific phospholipids are on the correct side of the plasma membrane. (22.2.8)
|
What is The energy gets stored in the carrier molecules in oxidative phosphorylation (NADH, FADH), if you just burn it, all the energy gets released as heat.
Why is stepwise oxidative phosphorylation of glucose so much more efficient than burning the glucose all in one step? (15.1.3)
|
What is Kuru Eating brains of deceased people
How is kuru (a transmissible prion disease) contracted? (3.2.3)
|
What is
RNA Poly I - most rRNA genes RNA Poly II - protein-coding genes, miRNA genes, plus genes for some small RNAs (e.g., those in spliceosomes) RNA Poly III - tRNA genes, 5S RNA gene, genes for many other small RNAs
Name the type of genes that each eukaryotic RNA polymerase transcribes. (7.29)
|
What is When cholesterol is high, it binds to SCAP in the ER membrane. Nothing happens. When it is low, a vesicle containing SCAP and SREBP breaks off from the ER membrane. It fuses to the golgi where proteases cleave a portion of SREBP, which then goes into the nucleus and acts as a transcription factor for genes that produce cholesterol biosynthesis enzymes
How do SCAP and SREBP regulate cholesterol levels? (14.24)
|
What is
IF Biochemically heterogeneous (many subunits exist) Great tensile strength, flexible Not polar No motor proteins More stable A&T Homogeneous (monomers) More rigid Polar [(+) and (-) ends] Motor proteins More dynamic
Name some differences between intermediate filaments and actin & tubulin fibers. (20.11)
|
What is Cytochrome C gets released from the mitochondria. It binds to the adaptor proteins which form the apoptosome and recruit procaspase 9.
How does the mitochondria regulate cell death? (22.1.13)
