Study Notes
Negative Feedback Loop
- Detection of a change in a critical physiological factor.
- Signal sent to effector cell.
- Effector cell causes change in physiology.
- Change in physiology drives critical physiological factor back to normal levels.
Membrane Fluidity and Fatty Acids
- Unsaturated fatty acids increase the fluidity of the cell membrane.
Lysosome and Proteasome Function
- The lysosome breaks down all four types of biomolecules using enzymes and acid.
ATP Hydrolysis
- Energy is released by ATP from the hydrolysis of the first two phosphate groups. False.
Memory and Forgetting
- Testing yourself is the best tool to offset forgetting.
Cell Signaling
- Paracrine cell signaling is seen between nerve cells.
Membrane Permeability
- Oxygen is membrane-permeable because it's small, hydrophobic, and uncharged.
Ribosome Complex
- Transcription factors are not part of the ribosome complex during protein synthesis.
Sagittal Cut
- A sagittal cut separates the body into right and left halves.
Gene Transcription and Translation
- Gene transcription produces mRNA; gene translation produces proteins.
Energy Storage
- Lipids are responsible for long-term energy storage.
Extracellular Fluid Components
- Interstitial fluid is the largest component of extracellular fluid.
Osmolarity
- When non-permeable solutes are higher outside the cell, it's called hypertonic.
Tissue Types
- Blood is one of the major tissue types.
Body Cavities
- The thoracic cavity contains both the heart and lungs.
Characteristics of Life
- Nucleic acids are not a characteristic of life.
Sodium-Potassium Pump
- The sodium-potassium pump moves 3 K+ and 2 Na+ against their concentration gradients. True.
Anatomical Position
- Anatomical position includes feet parallel, eyes forward, and standing upright.
Voluntary Muscle Contraction
- Skeletal muscle contractions are voluntary.
Hormone Receptor Signaling
- Hormones, which are small hydrophobic molecules, use nuclear receptor signaling.
Pyrimidine Bases
- The pyrimidine family includes thymine, uracil, and cytosine.
Levels of Complexity
- The correct order of increasing complexity is: organelles, cells, tissues, organs, organ systems.
Caffeine and Adenosine
- Caffeine reduces the level of adenosine in the body. False
DNA Base Pairings
- A - U pairing is not seen in DNA.
Positive Feedback Loops
- A change in a critical physiological factor in a positive feedback loop will lead to an increasing change in the factor.
Channel Proteins
- Channel proteins can be either active or passive. False.
Transmembrane Proteins
- Transmembrane proteins span the entire cell membrane.
Facilitated Diffusion vs. Active Transport
- Active transport can move solutes against a concentration gradient. Facilitated diffusion does not require ATP.
Cell Junctions
- Hemidesmosomes are not flexible attachments involving cadherins but provide attachment of epithelial cells to their underlying basement membrane.
Protein Formation
- Amino acids form proteins.
Chaperone Protein Location
- Chaperone proteins are found in the cytoplasm, Golgi apparatus, and endoplasmic reticulum.
Phospholipid Structure
- The head of a phospholipid is hydrophilic, and the tail is hydrophobic. True.
Neuroplasticity
- Neuroplasticity involves strengthening, weakening, and making new neuronal connections.
