CSU Monterey Bay - Bio 241 - Introduction to Cell & Molecular Biology Fall 2008 Henrik Kibak Coursework for Second Exam

Chapter 7 - Inside the Cell

Vocabulary:

Bio majors in the pre-health concentration should actually read this entire chapter thoroughly. In this course there is not the time to give this chapter the detailed look it deserves, especially for those of you planning to take the MCAT. Much of this material will be "assumed knowledge" in the upper division Cell & Molecular Biology course. For example, Figures 7.14 and 7.15 alone will receive an entire lecture.

Key Figures: 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 7.6, Table 7.1, 7.14, 7.15, Table 7.2, Box 7.1, 7.24, 7.25, 7.26, 7.28, 7.29, 7.30, Table 7.3, 7.31, 7.32, 7.34, 7.35, 7.36, 7.37
Key Media: Chapter 7 Slides From Class (PowerPoint), Actin-Myosin, Nuclear "Zip Codes," Pulse-Chase (Flash Animations), Inner Life of Cells (huge Quicktime animation)
Test Your Knowledge: #1-6
Test Your Understanding: #1, 2, 4, 5
Applying Concepts to New Situations: #1, 3

• You should be able to draw and label a typical plant and animal cell.
• You should be able to describe how proteins are secreted out of the cell.
• You should be able to provide experimental evidence for nuclear localization signals.
• You should be able to describe how actin and myosin work together in muscle fibers.

Chapter 8 - Cell-Cell Interactions

Vocabulary:

Key Figures: 8.1, 8.3, 8.4, 8.5, 8.7, 8.8, 8.9, 8.10, 8.11, 8.12, 8.13, 8.14, 8.15, Table 8.1, 8.16, 8.17, 8.18, Table 8.2, 8.19
The 2nd Edition of Freeman had an essay at the end of this chapter titled, "How Do Viagra®, Levitra®, and Cialis® Work?" It was an excellent example of how the general story in Figure 8.19 is applied, and was particularly easy for students to remember. For some reason, this essay has been dropped in the 3rd edition of Freeman. Please remind me to hand this out in class to those of you with the new textbook.
Key Media:

• You should be able to draw how the extracellular matrix connects to the cytoskeleton
• You should be able to describe the principle of selective adhesion in cells and be able to describe an approach to identifying which proteins are involved.
• You should be able to draw and describe the cell-cell signalling pathway during erections that is initiated by nitric oxide.
• You should be able to describe how Viagra, Levitra, and Cialis function.

Chapter 9 - Cellular Respiration

Vocabulary:

Key Figures: ALL FIGURES, Especially 9.3, 9.11, 9.13, 9.19, 9.22, 9.23, 9.24, 9.25, & 9.26

Test Your Knowledge: #1 - 6
Test Your Understanding: #1, 4, & 5
Applying Concepts: #1 & 4

• You should know glycolysis well enough to identify where ATP is consumed and where it is generated. You should know glycolysis well enough to identify where NADH is generated.
• You should know the number of carbons and phosphates in each of the glycolytic intermediates.
• You should be able to draw the structure of pyruvate.
• You should be able to describe what happens to pyruvate as it enters the Krebs Cycle.
• You should know the number of carbons in each of the Krebs Cycle intermediates, where CO2 is given off, where NADH is generated and where FADH2 is generated.
• You should be able to illustrate the organization of the Electron Transport Chain, including the four complexes and Cytochrome C.
• You should be able to detail the source of the electrons that are fed into the electron transport chain, the work that they do, and the ultimate electron acceptor.
