Term

 

 

The breakdown of gylcogen into glucose is an ____ reaction.

 

a. endergonic

b. exergonic

c. entropic

Definition

 

 

b.) exergonic

Term

The gaining of glucose into glycogen is an____reaction.

 

a. endergonic

b. exergonic

c.entropic

 

 

Definition

 

 

a. endergonic

Term

What type of inhibition involves a change in enzyme conformation induced by inhibitor binding to a site distinct from the active site?

 

 

What type of inhibation does an inhibitor directly bind and block substrate access to the active site? 

Definition

Allosteric regulator

 

 

 competitive inhibitor.

Term

The metabolism of one molecule of glucose can yield as many as 36 ATP. How many of these are directly produced by glycolysis?

 

 

Definition

 

 

2 ATP

Term
Where are the electron carriers involved in the electron transport chain found?
Definition
Inner mitochondrial membrane
Term
What two molecules produced by light reactors are required for the Calvin Cycle
Definition
NADPH and ATP
Term
How does cytokinesis differ in plant and animal cells?
Definition

in animal cells the contractile actin ring pinches the daughter cells apart

 

in plant cells the membrane vesicles accumulate at the equator and fuse to form the cell plate

Term

label each one:

 

·         homologous chromosomes form tetrads, nonsister chromatids trade DNA

·       tetrads align randomly at the metaphase plate

·          homologs separate and move to opposite poles

·         cytokinesis creates 2 haploid cells, no DNA replication occurs

·         23 chromosomes each with 2 sister chromatids

·          - chromosomes align on metaphase plate

·         - sister chromatids separate and move to poles

 - nuclei form, cytokinesis creates 4 haploid cells

Definition

prophase 1

metaphase 1

anaphase 1

telaphase 1

prophase 11

metaphase 11

anaphase 11

telaphase 11

Term
If two parents are heterozygous for a recessive trait, what is the probability that their child will exhibit that trait?
Definition
1/4  or 25%
Term
What non-mendelian mode of inheritence is involved in determination of blood type ?
Definition
codominance
Term

what non-mendalian mode of inheritance is involved in determination of flower color?

Which non-mendalian mode of inheritance is involved in when one gene has more than one phenotypic event?


a. incomplete dominance

b. codominance

c. pleiotrophy

Definition

1st one is a.) incomplete dominance

 

second one is c.) pleiotrophy

Term

Name one way in which the daughter cells of mitotic and meiotic cell division differ?

 

Definition

Mitosis: diploid and genetically identical

 

Meiosis: haploid and genetically unique
