Anticodon - The three bases of the mRNA codon are complementary (i.e., they base-pair) to three bases on the tRNA known as the anticodon Antiparallel - ~ The opposite arrangement of the sugar-phosphate backbones in a DNA double helix. ~ complementary sequence ~ Whenever 2 strands base pair, they are antiparallel to one another. ~ RNA is always antiparallel to the template strand Base Excision Repair (BER) - DNA damage repair mechanism where a single nucleotide is replaced, 1. DNA repair e...

1 - How many nucleotides does base excision repair remove? 2 - How many fatty acid tails do Phospholipids have? A 6 carbon sugar that fuels our tissues - What is Glucose? A chemical reactant that binds with an enzyme to generate a product. - What is a substrate? A condition that prevents the body from converting certain fats to energy, particularly during periods without food (fasting). - What is MCAD Deficiency? (Medium-Chain Acyl-CoA Dehydrogenase) A molecule SIMILAR to a substrate that ...

counting carbons in a zig-zag struture? - more simplified; carbons at the points (or bends) of zig-zag structure difference between fetal and adult hemoglobin? - fetal hemoglobin has higher affinity for oxygen than maternal hemoglobin. fetal has alpha and gamma forms of hemoglobin while adults have alpha and beta example of cis fat? - unsaturated natural oils example of trans fat? - margarine; raises blood cholesterol levels and increases risk of heart disease examples of disaccharides - ...

Bohr effect): Ph is the signal for hemoglobin to let go of O2 - CHART C: Increase Co2 H: Increase in H A: Acidic R: Release O2 T: Tense Tissues • Feedback inhibition (non-competitive) - KNOW WHAT PICTURES OF INHIBITION LOOK LIKE AND RECOGNIZE STRUCTURES - once end product builds up it will bind to the allosteric site on the first enzyme and stop the pathway! - it binds to the enzyme slowing the product. 2,3 BPG and O2 affinity for fetus - Affinity= stickiness for 02, a human fetus nee...

Alternative Splicing - Post-translational RNA modification process in which some exons are removed or joined in various combinations. Anticodon - Group of three bases on a tRNA molecule that are complementary to an mRNA codon Antiparallel - The opposite arrangement of the sugar-phosphate backbones in a DNA double helix. Bases of DNA - Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, Thymine Bases of RNA - Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, Uracil Central Dogma - DNA->transcription->RNA->translation->prote...

Asylum - Safety that a country grants to refugees barriers to migration - Barriers that prevent migration including physical, economic, financial, cultural, and political brain drain - The emigration of a country's best-educated people and most-skilled workers carrying capacity - The population that can be supported by a given resource, as in the number of people that can be supported by agricultural land chain migration - A migration pattern resulting when migrants follow the paths of pr...

Area of Influence - Area in which a phenomena is relevant Bioregion/Biome - Region that plants, animals and humans have adapted to in a specific environment, such as a tropical savanna; transitional and measurable Central Place/Node - Geographical centers of activity. A large city, such as Los Angeles, has numerous nodes; point of origin Culture Region - Formal region that shares similar culture; an area in which people have many shared culture traits; tend to have fuzzy borders because it...

0-2 Degrees latitude - Tropical 20-35 Degrees latitude - Subtropical 45-60 degrees latitude - Continental 5 themes of geography - Location, place, movement, region, human environment interaction 60 degrees and higher latitude - Tundra Absolute location - Exact acid deposition - Commonly known as acid rain. Occurs when sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides are discharged into the atmosphere. Kills fish and plants and harms soil adiabatic cooling - Term for the decrease in temperature that res...

Absolute Direction - Actual direction you're heading Absolute Distance - Exact distance. (Miles) Absolute Location - Your exact location. (Longitude and latitude) Agricultural Density - Shows the level of efficiency of agricultural production in an area and the degree of reliance on human labor versus technology Anti-Natalist Policies - Policies that are created to help decrease a society's birth rate Arable Land - Land that is suitable for growing crops Arithmetic Density - Commonly us...

Absolute Location - - Exact location of a place on the earth described by global coordinates - EX: determine the absolute location of the Western Governors University administration building in Salt Lake City, Utah Age of High Mass Consumption - - 5. At the time of writing, Rostow believed that Western countries, most notably the United States, occupied this last "developed" stage. Here, a country's economy flourishes in a capitalist system, characterized by mass production and consumeri...
