MICR221 EXAMINATION QUESTIONS WITH ALL CORRECT ANSWERS AB toxins - Answer-A has toxic enzymatic activity and B binds to receptors on host cells so A can be internalised by endocytosis botulinum toxin - Answer-blocks release of acteylcholine from stimulatory motor neurons so no muscle contraction and flaccid paralysis tetanus toxin - Answer-blocks release of glycine (stops acetylcholine release) from inhibitory interneurons stimulating muscle contraction (uncontrolled) how botulinum an...

Key part of peptide / protein biosynthesis Correct Answer increase in gene expression of the cellular genes that encode for these proteins (hormones) Proteins & peptides might be ______ and/or ______ to generate their full biological activity Correct Answer glycosylated ; dimerized Proteins & peptides are (hydrophobic or hydrophilic)? Correct Answer hydrophilic - therefore can be stored in vesicles & won't diffuse through lipid membrane. Are peptides / proteins stored in vesicles or se...

Eukaryote - ACCURATE ANSWERS An organism whose cells contain complex structures enclosed within membranes. The defining membrane bound structure thats sets them apart from prokaryotic cells is the nucleas or nuclear envelope within which the genetic material is carried. All species of large complex species are eukaryotes, including animals, plants and funghi. Euchromatin - ACCURATE ANSWERS This shows as pale areas in the nucleas under electro magnification. It is a less densly packed form of ...

Eukaryote : An organism whose cells contain complex structures enclosed within membranes. The defining membrane bound structure thats sets them apart from prokaryotic cells is the nucleas or nuclear envelope within which the genetic material is carried. All species of large complex species are eukaryotes, including animals, plants and funghi. Euchromatin : This shows as pale areas in the nucleas under electro magnification. It is a less densly packed form of chromatin; 10% is even l...

QUIZ QUESTION: In an example of inflammation-mediated antibody damage to cells, Ig binds to self antigen on epithelial cells → complement binds Ig and is activated → pro inflammatory fragments of complement proteins are produced → the fragments bind to vessel walls → neutrophils move out of vessels → neutrophils bind to ____________ via receptors → neutrophils are triggered to release granules that damage cells. 1. complement proteins 2. Ig Fc portion 3. infected cells 4. sel...

hydrostatic pressure - Answer pushing force exerted by water in the bloodstream. osmotic pressure - Answer pressure exerted by the solutes in solution. Most often electrolytes Oncotic pressure (colloid osmotic pressure) - Answer a form of osmotic pressure exerted by proteins, notably albumin, in a blood vessel's plasma (blood/liquid) that usually tends to pull water into the circulatory system. Normal albumin levels - Answer 3.1-4.3 g/dL osmolality - Answer the concentrati...
