Molecular Genetics
"EXons EXpressed, INtrons IN the trash"
DNA expression into mature mRNA
Pyrimidines are "CUT" from purines.
Also, "CUT the PY"
Pyrimidines include Cytosine, Uracil, and Thiamine, and are one ring
structures. Purines are double ring structures.
Oxyhemoglobin Dissociation Curve
Think of an exercising muscle for a rightward shift:
Exercising muscle is:
hot,
acidic (lactic acid),
hypercarbic,
and has increased 2,3-DPG.
Exercising muscle benefits from increased oxygen unloading from red blood
cells.
Scientific Method
Inductive Reasoning
"IS GOHH"
Induction: specific ® general.
Or, Observation ® hypothesis ®
hypothesis-testing.
The inductive process proceeds from specific observations to a general
hypothesis.
Deductive Reasoning
"D(o)GS"
Deduction: general ® specific
The deductive process proceeds from a general hypothesis to predictions
about specific observations.
Striated Muscle
"ZIAH"
Z-line, I-band, A-band, H-zone
