Which, if any, of these statements support the idea that the MMR vaccine causes autism? (You can choose more than one).

A. Sweden and UK studies found the rate of autism in the population before and after the introduction of MMR was similar.

B. UK Study: Some children show behavioral signs of autism before they receive the vaccine.

C. Denmark: The risk of autism is similar in children vaccinated vs. those not vaccinated (sample included 500,000 children).

Autism rates for a population would have increased after the introduction of the MMR vaccine.

The onset of symptoms of autism in individuals comes only after vaccination.

The rate of autism in a control group will be lower than an experimental group that had the MMR vaccine.

None of these are true. There is no evidence along any of these lines.

List the 5 themes of biology:

→ Transformations of energy and matter
→ Structure and function
→Interactions within and between systems
→ Flow of information
→ Evolution

Describe the theme:

Transformations of energy and matter

Explains how biological molecules (matter) are built, broken, cycle through a system.

Energy changing form.

Ex: Plants transform light energy from sun into chemical energy.

Describe the theme:

Structure and function

Look for examples where the structure of an organism's anatomy, a cell, an organelle, or a molecule is a good fit for the job it performs.

Ex: Hummingbird's long beak for reaching nectar.

Describe the theme:

Interactions within and between systems

Systems, at each new level, a new function emerges as parts work together.

Look for examples of processes that keep systems → like your cells, your body, or earth's ecosystems → in balance

Describe the theme:

Information pathways

Look for examples of how information flows in a system, such as how gene products from the Y chromosome cause certain hormones to be produced and testes to develop.

Also, informational pathways can break down, look for examples such a how a defect in making one protein can cause cystic fibrosis or how spraying a toxin on a plant leaf causes cell death.

Describe the theme:

Evolution

Life's unity (such as the DNA as a common informational code) and life's diversity (such as the numerous shapes a bird's beak can form) are explained by evolution.

Look for evidence of common ancestry as well as evidence for how life changes over time.

Match one statement to the theme it matches to best:

A. Red pandas share characteristics with giant pandas and raccoons but new evidence suggests they should be classified as their own family.
B. Millions of microbes live within your gut, secreting a variety of proteins that may have multiple effects on your brain physiology.

Covalent linkage.

2 structure- held together by weak hydrogen bonds between the amino group of one amino acid and the carboxyl group of another amino acid

Tertiary Structure - globular shape; stabilized by interactions between R groups

Quaternary Structure - the four identical polypeptides, or subunits are precisely associated into a functional protein

You have been hired as an illustrator for a new introductory biology textbook. The authors want you to draw a picture to demonstrate how two amino acids far apart in primary structure can interact in their tertiary structure.

Now that you have an idea of the activity and you have your first drawing, draw a second image demonstrating what a mutation in one amino acid might do to your tertiary structure. (You are making a modification to one amino acid in your first drawing).

What happens when someone has sickle cell anemia?

The amino acid change gives rise to a water-repellant, sticky patch on hemoglobin molecules.

Store it as glycogen inside cells

In type 1 diabetes, if we carry the dysfunctional factory analogy, it's as if the factory burned down.
What does this tell us about why type I diabetics have no insulin?

They don't have the beta pancreatic cells that produce insulin. (Autoimmune reaction- their body destroys these cells).

What happens when someone has type I diabetes?

Type II?

Insulin is absent.

Insulin is present; receptor is malfunctioning

What might happen if a person injected themselves with too much insulin? What might be the consequence?

The insulin would cause the person to take up too much glucose from the blood leading to hypoglycemia. This can be dangerous and can lead to collapse and coma.

Compare and contrast hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia.

Hyperglycemia → high blood sugar; unquenchable thirst, frequent urination, blurry vision, weight loss, etc.

Hypoglycemia → low blood sugar; shaking, sweating, fainting, seizure, coma

1. A loss of insulin receptors
2. Too much insulin
3. Destruction of insulin producing pancreatic cells

Unlike white fat, brown fat contains mitochondria. In brown fat there are high levels of this transport protein, thermogenin, in the inner membrane. Thermogenin is a transport protein.

How will thermogenin affect ATP synthesis? Will it be higher, lower, or stay the same. WHY?

What does brown fat do the heat during cellular respiration?

Brown fat generates heat by not capturing much of the chemical energy of glucose into ATP.

(Unlike white fat that has little metabolic activity because it doesn't have many mitochondria. White fat serves as an insulator.)

An equilibrium of H+ on both sides of the inner membrane would decrease ATP production, because...

less kinetic energy will be available to power ATP synthase.
