BIOL 1001 Study Guide - Antibody, Hydrogen Peroxide, Phenolphthalein
Document Summary
Plasma: water, plasma proteins, dissolved ions and molecules, serum albumin: main plasma protein, other proteins include antibodies, glucose and other simple sugars, amino acids, communication molecules (cyclic amp, steroid hormones, vitamins, dissolved gasses. : a form of hemoglobin used to identify the plasma glucose: glucose sticks to hemoglobin, formed in a non-enzymatic pathway by hemoglobin"s normal exposure to high plasma levels of glucose, normal range (that found in healthy persons) is 4% to 5. 9%, increased in persons with poorly controlled diabetes. B and t lymphocytes: operation during immune response. Factors that affect oxygen binding: concentration- high oxygen tension promotes binding to hemoglobin, ph- neutral ph rather is best, temperature- lower temperate. Oxygen transport: oxygen binds to heme group (heme group has iron molecule that binds oxygen, oxygen binding is cooperative, forms oxyhemoglobin. Kastle-meyer phenolphthalein test: hemoglobin iron has catalase activity, blood + h2o2 + pt = pink color, indicating the oxidation of phenolphthalein.
