APHY 201 Physiology Lecture Exam 1 2024 Questions and answers Themes in Physiology - Answer>>Homeostasis and Control System: how variables are regulated and monitored. Input-control-output; how the body systems work together to maintain a constant environment Biological Energy Use: where energy comes from and how it is used. Energy is the capacity to do work. • Chemical work-making or breaking of chemical bonds so cells and organisms grow, maintain suitable environment and store information for reproduction and other activities. • Transport work-moves ions, molecules • Mechanical work-movement (cilia, flagella, cytoskeleton)

How many phospholipid bilayers will a substance cross passing into a cell? Passing from one side to the other of the pericardial epithelium? - Answer>>A substance crosses one phospholipid bilayer to enter a cell and two passing the pericardial epithelium. What is the function of motor proteins? - Answer>>They convert stored energy into directed movement.
Where are Na, Cl, HCO3-, K, Ca found in the body? - Answer>>Concentrations of Na, Cl, HCO3- are higher in ECF. K and Ca in ICF. Proteins and other large anions are almost absent from the interstitial fluid because they are unable to cross the endothelium. Proteins are concentrated in the plasma. Knowing... Plasma concentration will tell you ECF concentrations, so it cannot tell you ICF concentration. Water concentration won't tell you much because body is in osmotic equilibrium. Protein concentration can be determined knowing plasma concentration, but not ECF nor ICF. Passive transport - Answer>>movement across a membrane that does not depend on outside source of energy. Active transport - Answer>>movement across a membrane that requires outside source of energy. What properties of a molecule influence its movement across cell membranes? - Answer>>size and lipid solubility Small size and lipid soluble pass through easily. Larger size and lesser lipid soluble need specific membrane protein for transport. Very large lipophobic molecules cannot be transported on proteins and must enter and leave cells in vesicles. Fick's law of diffusion - Answer>>equation that shows relationship of rate of diffusion involves 3 factors. Predicts simple diffusion across membrane rate of diffusion = surface area x concentration gradient x membrane permeability / membrane thickness
Name two ways channels differ from carriers. - Answer>>channel proteins form continuous connections between inside and outside of cell and they transport molecules more quickly. GLUT transporters - Answer>>move glucose in and out of cells (facilitated diffusion) Na+ K+ ATPase - Answer>>Sodium Potassium pump maintains concentration gradient so that ECF is more positive than ICF; pumps out 3 Na+ for 2 K+ into the cell Carrier-mediated transport properties - Answer>>• specificity - ability to move only one molecule or group of closely related molecules. eg. GLUT
osmolarity - Answer>>number of particles (ions or intact molecules) per liter of solution. osmol/L or OsM convert Molarity to Osmolarity: mol/L x # particles/molecule = osmol/L normal osmolarity of human body ranges from 280-296 mOsM osmosis - Answer>>movement of water across semi-permeable membrane in response to a concentration gradient. osmotic pressure - Answer>>force needed to counteract the flow of water in osmosis Types of osmosity - Answer>>• isoosmotic: initial condition that show no net difference in osmolarity
Net water movement will be into the compartment with the higher concentration of nonpenetrating solutes. Non-penetrating solutes - Answer>>NaCl sucrose fructose KCl CaCl Penetrating solutes - Answer>>urea glucose Types of tonicity - Answer>>• isotonic: no net concentration gradient
Nervous & Endocrine - coordinate body functions Immune - intercepts foreign material that enter through exchange surfaces and protects internal environment Name the organ systems of the body. - Answer>>Exchange systems:
What is the control group? - Answer>>It is the group where the variables are not applied. Initial values do not change and the other experimental groups are compared to the control group's result. What is the control group? - Answer>>It is the group where the variables are not applied. Initial values do not change and the other experimental groups are compared to the control group's result. Pathway from experiment to theory. - Answer>>Experiment replication - hypothesis working model - scientific theory Pathway from experiment to theory. - Answer>>Experiment replication - hypothesis working model - scientific theory Cross-over study - Answer>>Experimental study where participants are both experimental and control subjects. Effective when there is a wide variability within a population. Cross-over study - Answer>>Experimental study where participants are both experimental and control subjects. Effective when there is a wide variability within a population. Blind study - Answer>>Used to control placebo and nocebo effects. Study wherein the subjects do not know if they are receiving the treatment or the placebo. Effective control for psychological factor of experimentation. Blind study - Answer>>Used to control placebo and nocebo effects. Study wherein the subjects do not know if they are receiving the treatment or the placebo. Effective control for psychological factor of experimentation.
Van der Waals (weak) - nonspecific attraction between nucleus of any atoms and electrons of nearby atoms. What are the different types of chemical bonds? - Answer>>Covalent (strong) - 2 atoms share electrons.
catabolism - Answer>>reactions that release energy and result in the break down of large biomolecules law of mass action - Answer>>For a reaction at equilibrium, the ratio of substrates to products is always the same. kinase - Answer>>an enzyme that adds phosphate group to the substrate activation energy - Answer>>energy needed to initiate a chemical reaction enzyme - Answer>>protein catalysts that speed up reactions by lowering their activation energy anabolism - Answer>>metabolic pathways that require a net input of energy and that synthesize small molecules into larger ones Competitive inhibitor - Answer>>molecules that bind to the active site of the enzyme, preventing substrate binding coupled reactions - Answer>>reactions where energy released by one reaction drives the coupled reaction that requires energy Specificity - Answer>>ability of an enzyme or receptor to bind to a particular molecule or a group of closely related molecules addition reaction - Answer>>chemical reaction that adds a functional group to a molecule deamination - Answer>>removal of an amino group from a molecule insulin - Answer>>pancreatic hormone that decreases plasma glucose concentration
isozyme - Answer>>related forms of a single enzyme amination - Answer>>addition of amino group to a molecule coenzyme - Answer>>organic cofactors that act as receptors and carriers for atoms or functional groups that are removed from substrates during the course of reaction synthetase - Answer>>enzyme that joins two molecules together using ATP urea - Answer>>nitrogenous waste product from amino group free energy - Answer>>amount of energy stored in the chemical bonds of a molecule and available to perform work substrate - Answer>>ligand that binds to an enzyme or a membrane transporter This type of enzyme catalyzes oxidation reaction in which electrons and H+ ions are removed form a molecule. - Answer>>dehydrogenase This type of enzyme catalyzes reactions that digest proteins into polypeptides. Splitting each bond utilizes one molecule of water, therefore this is a specific type of hydrolase. - Answer>>protease This type of enzyme catalyzes reactions in which a phosphate group is exchanged between two molecules. - Answer>>phosphatase This type of enzyme catalyzes reactions in which a phosphate group is removed from a molecule. - Answer>>phosphatase
