7077012472My spirit is too weak—mortality Weighs heavily on me like unwilling sleep, And each imagined pinnacle and steep Of godlike hardship, tells me I must die Like a sick eagle looking at the sky. Now, read the passage from "Ode on Intimations of Morality," another poem from the romantic period. The rainbow comes and goes, And lovely is the rose; The moon doth with delight Look round her when the heavens are bare; Waters on a starry night Are beautiful and fair; The sunshine is a glorious birth; But yet I know, where'er I go, That there hath past away a glory from the earth. What theme do both passages share? Life is bleak. Life is precious. Death is inevitable. Death is an illusion.Death is inevitable.4
7077015278Read the passage from "Ode on a Grecian Urn." Fair youth, beneath the trees, thou canst not leave Thy song, nor ever can those trees be bare; Bold Lover, never, never canst thou kiss, Though winning near the goal—yet, do not grieve; She cannot fade, though thou hast not thy bliss, For ever wilt thou love, and she be fair! The word from the passage that best defines the topic is "youth." "song." "kiss." "love."love.5
7077016589What he told me in the next hour, I cannot bring my mind to set on paper. I saw what I saw, I heard what I heard, and my soul sickened at it; and yet now when that sight has faded from my eyes, I ask myself if I believe it, and I cannot answer. My life is shaken to its roots; sleep has left me; the deadliest terror sits by me at all hours of the day and night; and I feel that my days are numbered, and that I must die; and yet I shall die incredulous. As for the moral turpitude that man unveiled to me, even with tears of penitence, I can not, even in memory, dwell on it without a start of horror.

7077018562Here's a snatch of the letter from the president of the United States that Perry delivered to the Japanese emperor: Many of the large ships-of-war destined to visit Japan have not yet arrived in these seas, and the undersigned, as an evidence of his friendly intentions, has brought but four of the smaller ones, designing, should it become necessary, to return to Edo in the ensuing spring with a much larger force. But it is expected that the government of your imperial majesty will render such return unnecessary, by acceding at once to the very reasonable and pacific overtures contained in the president's letter . . . This was textbook gunboat diplomacy, and it worked. Japanese resistance melted, and very quickly the Japanese embraced the new economic model, becoming energetic players in the international markets they had been forced to join. They began to think differently about the sea that surrounded them, and their awareness of the possible opportunities in the world beyond grew fast. What is the purpose of the outside source used in this excerpt? to show how strongly the American president insisted Japan participate in international trade to show how the Japanese government isolated the country from trade with other nations to educate readers about traditional art in Japan to educate readers about American ships near Japanto show how strongly the American president insisted Japan participate in international trade8

"Well, but since we have touched upon this business, and for the last time I hope," continued the doctor, "there is one point I should like you to understand. I have really a very great interest in poor Hyde. I know you have seen him; he told me so; and I fear he was rude. But I do sincerely take a great, a very great interest in that young man; and if I am taken away, Utterson, I wish you to promise me that you will bear with him and get his rights for him.

7077024934Read the excerpt from "Early Victorian Tea Set." Among the upper classes, tea had been popular since before 1700. It received celebrity endorsement from Charles II's queen, Catherine of Braganza, and from Queen Anne. It came from China, it was expensive, refreshingly bitter and drunk in tiny cups without milk or sugar. People kept their tea in locked tea caddies, as if it were a drug; for those who could afford it, it often was. In the 1750s Samuel Johnson confessed himself a happy addict: A hardened and shameless tea drinker, who has for twenty years diluted his meals with only the infusion of this fascinating plant, whose kettle scarcely has time to cool, who with Tea amuses the evening, with Tea solaces the midnights, and with Tea welcomes the morning. Which is the best summary of this excerpt? The author explains how tea was popular among the upper class. He quotes Samuel Johnson to illustrate its popularity. The author explains how addictive tea can become. He quotes Samuel Johnson to warn against tea addiction. Tea is bitter but can be improved with milk and sugar.

7077025534Read this sentence from a report on Oscar Wilde. Oscar Wilde uses humor to critique society and show that there is too much concern about coming from a proper family. Which line from The Importance of Being Earnest best makes this point? "Where did the charitable gentleman who had a first-class ticket for this seaside resort find you?" "Yes, Lady Bracknell. I was in a hand-bag—a somewhat large, black leather hand-bag, with handles to it—an ordinary hand-bag in fact." "To be born, or at any rate bred, in a hand-bag, whether it had handles or not, seems to me to display a contempt for the ordinary decencies of family life . . ." "May I ask you then what you would advise me to do? I need hardly say I would do anything in the world to ensure Gwendolen's happiness.""To be born, or at any rate bred, in a hand-bag, whether it had handles or not, seems to me to display a contempt for the ordinary decencies of family life . . ."18
7077025911Read the excerpt from chapter 4 of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. This last, however, was not so easy of accomplishment; for Mr. Hyde had numbered few familiars—even the master of the servant maid had only seen him twice; his family could nowhere be traced; he had never been photographed; and the few who could describe him differed widely, as common observers will. Only on one point were they agreed; and that was the haunting sense of unexpressed deformity with which the fugitive impressed his beholders. This excerpt creates suspense by making the reader wonder how Mr. Hyde had managed to be seen by so few people. why people who had seen Mr. Hyde could only agree on one point. when Mr. Hyde would see any of his family members again. what people would do if they actually got a long look at Mr. Hyde.how Mr. Hyde had managed to be seen by so few people.19
7077026257Read the lines from "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud."

7077028513Read the excerpt from Act III of The Importance of Being Earnest. Lady Bracknell. [With a shiver, crossing to the sofa and sitting down.] I do not know whether there is anything peculiarly exciting in the air of this particular part of Hertfordshire, but the number of engagements that go on seems to me considerably above the proper average that statistics have laid down for our guidance. I think some preliminary inquiry on my part would not be out of place. Mr. Worthing, is Miss Cardew at all connected with any of the larger railway stations in London? I merely desire information. Until yesterday I had no idea that there were any families or persons whose origin was a Terminus. [Jack looks perfectly furious, but restrains himself.] How can Lady Bracknell asking Miss Cardew (Cecily) if she is "at all connected with any of the larger railway stations in London" be seen as a reflection of Victorian social codes? Knowing that Jack was found as a baby in a railway station, she is excited that Cecily may also be connected to a railway family because it suggests wealth. Since she already knows about Jack's background, she is angry that Algernon may marry someone who is not as educated as he is. Knowing that Jack was found as a baby in a railway station, she is concerned that Algernon wants to marry someone who may be of a lower social ranking. Since she already knows about Jack's background, she is curious to know about Cecily's because it is considered mannerly to show interest in others.Knowing that Jack was found as a baby in a railway station, she is concerned that Algernon wants to marry someone who may be of a lower social ranking.22
7077029235Read the excerpt from Act III of The Importance of Being Earnest. Cecily. Gwendolen, your common sense is invaluable. Mr. Moncrieff, kindly answer me the following question. Why did you pretend to be my guardian's brother? Algernon. In order that I might have an opportunity of meeting you. Cecily. [To Gwendolen.] That certainly seems a satisfactory explanation, does it not? Gwendolen. Yes, dear, if you can believe him. Cecily. I don't. But that does not affect the wonderful beauty of his answer. What does this excerpt most clearly convey about Cecily? She values truth over creativity. She values romance over truth. She values logic over romance. She values creativity over logic.She values romance over truth.23
7077030066Read the excerpt from Act III of The Importance of Being Earnest. [Gwendolen and Cecily are at the window, looking out into the garden.] Gwendolen. The fact that they did not follow us at once into the house, as any one else would have done, seems to me to show that they have some sense of shame left. Cecily. They have been eating muffins. That looks like repentance. What do you learn about Gwendolen and Cecily from this excerpt? They value honesty and are angry that the men have lied to them. They value romance and are willing to make excuses for the men they love. They value wisdom and refuse to admit that they were wrong. They value commitment and are willing to marry anyone who will marry them.They value romance and are willing to make excuses for the men they love.24

Remember the basic structure and nomenclature of each amino acid, understand their chemical properties and classification,

Hello! This is an amino acid set by Fadil Nohur, aka fiddle_n. Here are a list of the 20 amino acids coded in the genome. Amino acids vary in their difficulty for learning. Some amino acids are easy to learn, whilst some defy memorisation (yes, tryptophan, I'm looking at you!). All amino acid pictures have been painstakingly edited and uploaded by none other than me, for your learning pleasure! Have fun learning, and maybe give me a high five if you feel like it ;)

8721614282Hill CoefficientTells you if protein exhibits cooperativity. If it is greater than 1 yes, if at 1 no.118
8721614283Gel ElectrophoresisUses to separate macromolecules, such as proteins (kDa) and DNA (#base pairs, kilobases), based on size and charge. For DNA, use agarose gels because it weeds out large molecules because larger pores. Negative ions to cathodes, while positive ions to anode. Shows bands with smaller sizes farther away and larger sizes closer.119
8721614284Michaelis Menten ExperimentKeep enzyme concentration level, manipulate substrate concentration (by adding usually) to get Km and Vmax in the presence or absence of inhibitor.120

8721614288km decreases and the vmax decreasesIn Mixed Inhibition if the inhibitor favors the enzyme substrate more than the enzyme the km_______ and the vmax ___________124
8721614289km decreases and the vmax decreasesIn uncompetitive inhibition the km________ and the vmax_________125
8721614290Competitive inhibitionThe lineweaver burke plot shows km gets larger (line shifts to right of non inhibitor), but crosses the same point on the y axis (vmax)126
8721614291Noncompetitive InhibitionThe lineweaver burke plot shows the inhibitor present and inhibitor not present lines intersect at x axis and for the inhibitor present line it is higher than the inhibitor not present line (vmax gets smaller)127
8721614292Mixed InhibitionThe lineweaver burke plot shows an intersection somewhere in the plot not on an axis128
8721614293Uncompetitive InhibitionThe lineweaver burke plot shows no intersection only parallel lines.129
8721614294Kmat 1/2vmax it is the substrate concentration at which half of the enzymes active sites are full. High km means that theres more substrate not bound to enzyme, so enzyme has low affinity for substrate. At low km means there is not a lot of substrate unbound to enzyme so the enzyme must really like the enzyme.130
8721614295Enzyme Saturation KineticsAt substrate concentrations below km adding more substrate greatly increases the rate of the raction, but at concentration higher than km the reaction rate does not increase that much faster as it reaches vmax.131
8721614296SDS PAGEIt is a way of separating proteins due to only their mass. It uses SDS a detergent to denature the protein. It is best for determining small size differences in proteins. We expect smaller protein fragments to travel farther (might be considered more compact)132
8721614297Native PAGEIt is a protein isolation technique that analyzes proteins in their native states. Separation is based off of charge and mass. Smaller/more charged/more compact proteins are more mobile than larger/not charged/less compact proteins.133
8721614298mutarotationIt is the rapid conversion of different anomers of a sugar. So in glucose it goes from alpha to beta.134
8721614299Tollens ReagentUses Ag(NH3)2 to detect reducing sugars by using the aldehyde of the sugar to reduce Ag+ to a metallic silver135
8721614300Benedicts Reagentused to detect reducing sugars by oxidizing the aldehyde, which is indicated by a red precipitate.136

8721614310TriglycerideStorage form of fatty acid146
8721614311Fatty AcidFuel source for the body that consist of carboxylic head and hydrocarbon tail. Synthesis (from Acetyl CoA) occurs in the liver and in the cytoplasm of those liver cells. They are oxidized in the mitochondria to provide energy.147
8721614312Beta oxidationIs the reverse of fatty acid synthesis. Occurs in the liver in the mitochondria of cells. Purpose is to make Acetyl coA that will drive gluconeogenesis.148
8721614313ChromatographyUsed to separate proteins and other macromolecules, like nucleic acids. Forms bands of different compounds in column149
8721614314High Performance Liquids Chromatography (HPLC)used to separate proteins based on polarity for small amounts. Stationary phase is silica beads and mobile phase is organic solvent. Compound will stick to silica/aluminum if polar, will move quickly down if nonpolar with organic solvent.150
8721614315Size ExclusionChromatography where proteins are separated based on size. The beads (stationary phase) have pores in them to let small proteins go through, so less retention rate, while larger proteins get stuck higher up the stationary phase.151
8721614316Ion exclusionChromatography where proteins are separated based on charge. Beads are charged, and so compounds with opposite charge are attracted to them, while those with the same charge are repelled and move down column quickly152
8721614317AffinityChromatography where beads are coated with antibody or enzyme that has high affinity for a protein, so compound gets lodged in the stationary phase and the rest of the mixture goes down the column.153
8721614318Peptide HormonesType of hormone that does not require transport proteins to remain soluble in the blood stream because they are hydrophilic and soluble in blood.154
8721614319Positive controlControls where a phenomenon is expected.155

8721614327D-riboseAldopentose. Everythings All Right163
8721614328Denaturing GelFor mRNA and DNA that are large and single stranded, this type of gel causes them to move like long rods (like double stranded DNA) instead of their clumped 3D structures.164
8721614329melting temperaturetemperature at which a protein is 50% denatured or unfolded165
8721614330Nuclear LocalizationSignaling that tells proteins (such as nuclear factors) that they can enter the nucleus of the cell166
8721614331Transcription FactorsAlso known as nuclear factors that have a DNA-binding site, so bind to response elements or specific nucleotide sequences. Also have activation domain, which is also known as the protein binding domain because they bind to other transcription factors.167
8721614332DNA Binding SiteSite in transcription factors that bind to response elements168
8721614333Activation DomainSite that allows transcription factors to bind to other proteins or transcription factors169
8721614334Signal sequence domainIts the sequence that tells the cell that a protein will be secreted out of the cell. This sequence makes ribosomes translating in the cytoplasm to move to the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum.170
8721614335HydrophobicTypes of amino acids that are best for protein-protein interactions, such as dimerization.171
