- abdomen
- portion of body between thorax and pelvis
- acceleration
- v/t
- actin
- protein forming thinfilmanets in muscle fibers that are pulled on by myosin
- active transport
- movement of materials across membranes by means of chemical activity to admit otherwise impermeable molecules against a concentration gradient
- what is adenosine triphosphate
- an adenine nucleotide containing three phosphate groups esterified to the sugar moeity. In addition to its crucial roles in metabolism, ATP is a neutrotransmitter
- Where is an adipocyte found?
- fat storing cells found mostly in the abdominal cavity and subcutaneous tissue. Fat is usually stored in the form of triglycerides
- The process by which suspended bacteria, cells, or other particles are caused to adhere and form into clumps; similar to precipitation, but the particles are larger and are in suspension rather than being in solution.
- agglutination
- A type of simple protein, varieties of which are widely distributed throughout the tissues and fluids of plants and animals; albumin is soluble in pure water, precipitable from solution by strong acids, and coagulable by heat in acid or neutral solution.
- albumin
- genome
- The total genetic material of an organelle, cell or organism
- allele
- One specific form of a gene, differing from other alleles by one or a few bases only and occupying the same gene locus as other alleles of the gene
- gene
- An heritable factor that controls a specific characteristic, consiting of a length of DNA occupying a position on a chromosone known as a locus.
- Gene Mutation
- A change in the base sequence of a gene
- meiosis
- is a reduction division in terms of diploid and haploid numbers of chromosomes
- Codominant allele
- Alleles which have a partial effect on the phenotype when present in heterozygotes but a greater effect in homozygotes
- locus
- The particular position on homologous chromosomes of a gene
- carrier
- An individual that has a recessive allele of a gene that does not have an effect on the phenotype
- test cross
- Testing a suspected heterozygote by crossing with a known homozygous recessive
- An antiporter (also called exchanger or counter-transporter)
- is an integral membrane protein which is involved in secondary active transport of two or more different molecules or ions (i.e. solutes) across a phospholipid membrane such as the plasma membrane in opposite directions.
