Study Notes
Cellular Processes
- Filtrate from the distal convoluted tubule goes to the collecting duct.
- Anaerobic cellular respiration occurs without oxygen.
Molecular Biology
- RNA Primase is an enzyme that synthesizes short RNA primers.
- Telomeres are repetitive DNA sequences at the end of chromosomes that shorten with each cell division.
- DNA differs from RNA in that DNA is double-stranded, has thymine, and is stable, whereas RNA is single-stranded, has uracil, and is less stable.
Energy and Respiration
- Energy from solar radiation is most dependent on photosynthesis.
- During pyruvate oxidation, pyruvate is converted into acetyl-CoA.
- Redox reactions involve the transfer of electrons, resulting in oxidation and reduction of reactants.
Cell Structure
- Insulin is produced in the pancreas, specifically in beta cells of the islets of Langerhans.
- The lipid bilayer's fluidity increases with higher temperatures, higher cholesterol, and shorter or unsaturated fatty acid tails.
General Knowledge
- Water is a universal solvent, dissolving a wide range of substances.
- The pituitary gland is considered the 'master gland' due to its role in regulating other endocrine glands.
Eukaryotic Gene Expression
- In eukaryotes, introns are removed before mRNA leaves the nucleus because they contain non-coding regions.
Photosynthesis
- When light energy absorbed by P700 (PS1) energizes an electron, it is used to generate ATP and NADPH.
