T/F - The glomerulus can be considered a high-pressure filter.

Solutes and water move from the nephron back into the blood

Reabsorbtion of water and solutes in the kidney is regulated by ___________________

T/F - The rate of diffusion depends on the concentration difference, or concentration gradient, that exists between two areas or across a membrane. The larger the gradient,

the faster the rate of diffusion is.

________________________________ means that some molecules can diffuse very rapidly across a membrane while other molecules are unable to transit the membrane without assistance.

Two major factors, _________ and __________, determine the

ease with which a molecule or ion can move across a membrane.

Channel proteins form _______________________ pathways in the membrane through which water and certain ions can pass

The property of a solution that has a lower solute concentration than another solution

_______________ moves aggregate molecules into the cell.

Fatty acids are long hydrocarbon chains containing a single __________________ at one end.

T/F - The genetic information in DNA codes specifically for the production of proteins and nothing else.

T/F - For any given polypeptide chain it will always have an amino group at one end, called the amino terminus (A-terminus), and a carboxyl group at the other, called the carboxyl terminus (C-terminus).

All copies of a particular polypeptide have the same sequence of amino acids, this sequence being coded for by a particular ______________.

describes the interactions that occur between polypeptide strands in proteins composed of two or more polypeptides

describes the unique sequence of amino acids in

a polypeptide chain

type of polypeptide secondary structure characterized

by a tight coil that is stabilized by hydrogen bonds

T/F - Chemical and physical environmental factors also help

to determine the final shape of the molecule.

The entire polypeptide forms a three-dimensional structure

The relationship between kidneys and blood pressure is

Renin, a protein that is important in blood pressure regulation is released by the

Induced mutations are caused by

A _________________________ mutation that does not result in a change in the amino acid coded for and, therefore, does not cause any phenotypic change

A ________________ mutation arises when a change in the base

sequence of DNA alters a codon, leading to a different amino acid being placed in the protein sequence.

One or two nucleotide insertions or deletions will results in a frameshift mutation however, a deletion or insertion of three nucleotides does not have this effect.

The separation of the two single strands of DNA creates a ‘Y’ shape?

A short piece of RNA ?

T/F - All homeostatic control systems have three functional components: a monitor, a coordinating centre, and a regulator.

________________ feedback mechanisms trigger a response that reverses the changed condition.

During lactation (milk production), the suckling by the baby stimulates the production of oxytocin, which in turn causes contraction of smooth muscle surrounding the milk duct, causing milk to flow. The flow of milk increases the suckling by the baby and more oxytocin is produced.

Controls involuntary actions under stressed conditions.

The nerve cells in your body are called neurons. From the picture which part of the neuron is most likely responsible for carrying signals between the dendrite and axon terminal?

These neurons are considered to be efferent in location.

A type of Metabolism that builds up molecules into bigger things is

Anything added to a system that speeds up or starts a reaction
