2027 ) Medical-Surgical Nursing II Review | Questions & Answers | 100% Correct (Verified Solutions) | Grade A - Galen What does it mean for a carrier protein to be saturated? saturated carrier proteins means all the binding that the protein can do is used * when all sides are bound up What are the types of active transport? part 1 sodium potassium pump and cotransport mechanism What are the types of active transport? part 2 explanation Sodium Potassium Pump - process of moving sodium and potassium ions across the cell membrane involving the hydrolysis of ATP to produce necessary ENERGY What are the types of active transport? part 3 explanation Co-transport Mechanism- 2 substances are simultaneously transported across a membrane by 1 protein or complex protein with NO ATP activity Describe the type of endocytosis phagocytosis, pinocytosis, receptor-mediated
2027 ) Medical-Surgical Nursing II Review | Questions & Answers | 100% Correct (Verified Solutions) | Grade A - Galen Endocytosis: Phagocytosis "cellular eating" - engulfs a particle in a vacuole Endocytosis: Pinocytosis "cellular drinking" - molecules are taken up when extracellular fluid is "gulped" into tiny vesicles Endocytosis: Receptor- mediated binding of ligands (any molecule that binds specifically to a receptor site) to receptors triggers vesicle formation how does receptor - mediated endocytosis differ from the other types of endocytosis? It differs because it is more specific Explain exocytosis Exocytosis is the evacuator of substances out of the cell - transport vesicles migrate tot he membrane and fuse with it and release their contents
2027 ) Medical-Surgical Nursing II Review | Questions & Answers | 100% Correct (Verified Solutions) | Grade A - Galen Building blocks of nucleic acids are polynucleotides and each polynucleotide consists of monomers called nucleotide. a nucleotide is composed of 3 parts: 5 carbon sugar (pentose), a nitrogen (nitrogenous base), one or more phosphate groups what are the 4 types of nitrogen bases found in DNA and RNA? DNA = Cytosine and Thymine and Adenine and Guanine RNA = Uracil and Thymine and Adenine and Guanine What is the sugar found in DNA and in RNA? DNA = deoxyribose RNA = Ribose What are the three main differences between DNA and RNA? DNA = 2 stands of double helix, sugar, thymine RNA = single stranded, sugar, uracil what is complementary base pairing and how does it work? bases only bind to specific bases

2027 ) Medical-Surgical Nursing II Review | Questions & Answers | 100% Correct (Verified Solutions) | Grade A - Galen Shape: alpha helix or beta pleated sheet Describe protein tertiary structure. Part? Bond? Shape? Amino acids R-groups reacting with each other. Bond: hydrogen/ionic bonds - hydrophobic/hydrophilic, disulfide bridges Shape: 3-D, R group Describe protein quaternary structure. Part? Bond? Shape? interactions of R groups of 2 or more different polypeptides bound together using all interaction/bonds giving a fibrous or globular shape. last stage of a protein being built. ex: hemoglobin What conditions can affect protein structure? Temperature, pH, contractions Define R group in proteins the side chains are attached to the alpha carbon atoms of the amino backbone. different with each amino acid
2027 ) Medical-Surgical Nursing II Review | Questions & Answers | 100% Correct (Verified Solutions) | Grade A - Galen basic unit of life all organisms are composed of 1 or more cells the life process of metabolism and heredity occur, cell arise only by division of previously existing cells put the following metric units in order from biggest to smallest (nm, M, mm, cm, um) M, cm, mm, um, nm approximately how big are eukaryotic cells? prokaryotic cells? Eukaryotic - 10 - 100 um diameter prokaryotic - 1 - 5 um diameter what are the functions of the cell membrane> enclose and protect cell compartmentalization of biochemical activity maintains structure defines inside and outside of the organelles intercellular interaction and respond to external signals ** selectively permeable **
2027 ) Medical-Surgical Nursing II Review | Questions & Answers | 100% Correct (Verified Solutions) | Grade A - Galen what are the main difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells? eukaryotic: cells with nuclear membrane, cells with membrane bound organelles complex organelles, has nucleus Prokaryotic: no membrane bound organelles no organized nucleus no nuclear membrane Picture: half plant and half animal cell what organelles are through to have arisen from endosymbiosis?
