Describe the relationship between biological psychology and other fields in psychology and neuroscience.
This is to be a philosophical discussion.What are the characteristics of life? There are some things, like planets, stars, viruses and prions that have many of the characteristics of life.
A 5.0 mL aliquot of a stock tryptophan solution was diluted by adding 95 mL of water. The absorbance of that diluted solution was measured at 280 nm as 0.055 absorbance units.
If you wanted to make 100 mL of a 5mM ascorbic acid solution and you have on hand a 35mM ascorbic acid solution, how would you make it.
What is needed for photosynthesis and what is the wast product of photosynthesis? Also, given what you know about photosystems and how plants use visible light in photosynthesis.
Data from enzyme kinetic studies of an enzyme at specific substrate concentration. Data below also include from studies with town different inhibitors.
A drug impairs oxyegen consumption on liver mitochondria at a buffer of 7.4pH, Mg, and adp. It inhibits O2 uptake if isocitrate, 2-ketoglutarate and malate were substrates, but it will NOT is succin
An experiment was performed to determine the effects of an inhibitor on the breakdown of glycogen by an enzyme. In an accompanying experiment.
You have isolated a factor from the blood of a space alien and named it XFF (for X-files factor). Based on preliminary data, you think that XFF could be one of three compounds normally found in huma
What is the role of the urea cycle, and what are the effects on an individual of a deficiency in one of the required enzymes.
The same domains and/or motifs are found in many proteins. In fact, a protein's tertiary structure is more conserved (stays the same or similar over many generations) than its amino acid structure.
Describe in your own words how Christian Anfinsen's ribonuclease renaturation experiments showed that amino acid sequence determines tertiary structure.
Bisphenol A (BPA) binds to estrogen receptor with a Kd of 2.1 x 10-7 M and an association rate of 1.3 x 106 M-1s-1. Calculate the dissociation rate, kd, including appropriate units.
If you were offered a procedure that allowed you to acquire this ability, would you accept? Why or why not.
I would also like to know how DDT is transported through the cell membranes. Is it passive diffusion, facilitated diffusion, filtration, active transport, etc. I know it is lipid soluble.
A paragraph description is included that tells in relative detail the various steps, and then a brief numbered list of events is given for quick reference in order to improve understanding of this c
Since all action potentials are identical, the intensity of a sensation depends on.
I thought if a positively charged residue was the c-terminal end of the primary peptide, then I should have seen fragments from carboxypeptidase B, since there is no blocking proline by either the A
Draw the structure of butanol and show water molecules in hydrogen bonds to the butanol. How many should there be? remember the H bonding rules.
Name the three major components of a homeostatic control system and tell briefly the function of each component.
Based on the H bonding you showed above, do you expect dihydroxyacetone to be quite water soluble or not -- in either case, explain your answer.
plan the structure of ribose-5-phosphate (draw out ALL bonds including the bonds within the alcohol FG).
In a prolonged fast, plasma glucagon levels are elevated. Describe how this hormone leads to an activation of fatty acid oxidation and explain why this adaptation leads to a gradual but pronounced r
LDL particles have a higher percent content of cholesterol and cholesterol esters than VLDL particles. Describe the catabolism of the VLDL particles that occurs in the circulation and how this accou
answer the question, consider how each system would do some simple job normally done by the other system (it can be done). You can assume that any neurotransmitter could be a hormone (stored and rel
