1946193155RNA Modifications after transcriptionImmature RNA becomes mature due to protein splicing3
1946193156mRNA____in the nucleus that encodes the DNA code, writes it down, has U's instead of T's, only one strand4
1946193157RNA PolymeraseAn enzyme that produces primary transcript RNA by attaching to the promoter region of the DNA, after it's unwound(by helicase).5
1946193158poly(A) TailA sequence of 50 to 250 adenine nucleotides added onto the 3' end of a pre-mRNA molecule6
19461931595' Capspecially altered nucleotide on the__end of some eukaryotic primary transcripts -guanine cap which serves to protect the RNA and attach the ribosomes.7
1946193160TranslationWhen mRNA and tRNA(anticodon) translate the code, by transferring the correct amino acid for the codon(mRNA) There is a change of "language" from nucleotides to amino acids8
1946193161Protein Synthesisthe process by which amino acids are linearly arranged into proteins by mRNA writing down the code from the DNA template, tRNA transferring the correct amino acid, and then they bond to form the protein.9
1946193162Ribosome (large vs small)A molecule consisting of 2 subunits that fit together and work as 1 to build proteins according to messages in mRNA. Using mRNA as a template, it traverses codon and pairs with the right amino acid. Interacting with tRNA.10
1946193163A siteribosome binding site. holds tRNA carrying amino acid for polypeptide chain11
1946193164tRNATransports specific amino acids to ribosome to add to polypeptide chain on the ribosome12

1946193175Elongation...Aminoacyl tRNA brings a new amino acid to the A site. And the binding occurs due to cod an/anticodon recognition23
1946193176Termination...tells the polymerase to stop by Release Factors which bind with stop codons in the A site; add water to release the chain from final tRNA, mRNA is released and free24
1946193177promoterDNA sequence where RNA polymerase attaches and initiates transcription, contains the TATA box25

1946193182intronsintervening sequences that do not code-stay in the nucleus, refer to both the DNA and RNA sequences that encode them30
1946193183exonsEXIT the nucleus, because they will be coded31
1946193184wobblepairing with tRNA -can be different anticodons synonymous for a given amino acid; allows 45 rRNA molecules to service all the different types of codons on the mRNA32
1946193185point mutationsingle base pair of a gene, can be harmful, not fatal, a disease for instance, only affects one amino acid33
1946193186insertions and deletionsadd or loss-causes a frame shift-can be disastrous34

1946193200lytic cyclethe cell produces many viral offspring which are released from the cell and kill the host cell in the process48
1946193201lysogenic cyclethe virus falls dormant and incorporates its DNA into the host DNA as an entity(provirus). Viral DNA is reproduced every time, staying alive, never killing the host. Can enter into a lytic cycle49
1946193202plasmidscircular DNA in bacteria, with only a few genes, replicate independent of the main chromosome50
1946193203binary fissionbacteria's reproductive process, replicates DNA and pinches in half, so identical to parent51

2118290408PsychotherapyAn interaction between a trained therapist and someone who suffers from psychological difficulties or wants to achieve personal growth.0
2118290409Psychoanalysis(Sigmund Freud) Uses patients free associations, resistances, dreams, and transference, and therapist interpretations of them, releasing previously repressed feelings and allowing the patient to gain self-insight.1
2118290410Eclectic ApproachAn approach to psychotherapy that, depending on the client's problems, uses techniques from various forms of therapy.2
2118290411Psychodynamic Therapytherapy deriving from the psychoanalytic tradition that views individuals as responding to unconscious forces and childhood experiences, and that seeks to enhance self-insight.3
2118290412Insight TherapiesA variety of therapies which aim to improve psychological functioning by increasing the client's awareness of underlying motives and defenses4
2118290413Client-CenteredA humanistic therapy, developed by Carl Rogers, in which the therapist uses techniques such as active listening within a genuine, accepting, empathetic environment to facilitate clients' growth.5
2118290414Active ListeningEmpathic listening in which the listener echoes, restates, and clarifies. A feature of Rogers' client-centered therapy.6
2118290415Unconditional Positive RegardA caring, accepting, nonjudgmental attitude, which Carl Rogers believed would help clients to develop self-awareness and self-acceptance7
2118290416Behavior TherapyA form of psychotherapy in which disruptive behaviors are changed and human functioning's improved based on learning principles via Classical and/or Operant Conditioning. Focuses more on changing particular behaviors than possible unconscious/underlying factors. (Sometimes called behavior modification or cognitive-behavior therapy)8
2118290417Counter-conditioningA behavior therapy procedure that uses classical conditioning to evoke new responses to stimuli that are triggering unwanted behaviors (pairs trigger stimulus with fear-incompatible response); includes exposure therapies and aversive conditioning.9
2118290418Exposure Therapiesbehavioral techniques, such as systematic desensitization, that treat anxieties by exposing people (in imagination or actuality) to the things they fear and avoid10
2118290419Systematic DesensitizationA type of exposure therapy associating pleasant relaxed state (progressive relaxation) with gradually increasing anxiety-triggering stimuli. Commonly used to treat phobias.11
2118290420Virtual Reality Exposure TherapyAn anxiety treatment that progressively exposes people to simulations of their greatest fears (when anxiety-rousing situations are too expensive, difficult, or embarrassing to recreate)12
2118290421Aversive ConditioningA type of counter-conditioning that associates an unpleasant state with an unwanted behavior (think: Clockwork Orange)13
2118290422Cognitive Therapytherapy that teaches people new, more adaptive ways of thinking and acting; based on the assumption that thoughts intervene between events and our emotional reactions (deals with less specific psycho-cognitive problems, like depression of general anxiety, which make forming hierarchy of anxiety-triggering situations tough). Includes REBT (rational emotive behavior therapy) and CBT (cognitive behavior therapy)14
2118290423Rational-Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT)Confrontational Cognitive therapy developed by Albert Ellis, that vigorously challenges peoples illogical self-defeating attitudes and assumptions15
2118290424Cognitive-Behavioral Therapypopular integrative therapy combining cognitive therapy (changing self-defeating thinking) with behavior therapy (changing behavior). Focus on maintaining awareness of irrational negative thoughts and the practice of the replacement thoughts with prevention of relapses.16
2118290425Group Therapytherapy conducted with groups; benefits: saves therapist's time/clients' money; offers social lab ti explore social behaviors and develops social skills; enables understanding others' share problems; feedback provided for newly developing behaviors17
2118290426Meta-AnalysisA procedure for statistically combining the conclusions of many different research studies (provides bottom-line results of lots of studies)18
2118290427Evidence-Based PracticeClinical decision-making that integrates the best available research with clinical expertise and patient characteristics and preferences19
2118290428Resiliencepersonal strength helping most people cope with stress and recover from adversity and even trauma20

2118290432Anti-anxiety Drugsdrugs used to control anxiety and agitation24
2118290433Antidepressant DrugsTreat depression, anxiety disorders, OCD, PTSD/ utilize SSRI (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors)25
2118290434Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT)A biomedical therapy for severely depressed patients in which brief electric current's sent though anesthetized patient's brain26
2118290435Psychosurgerysurgery removing/ destroying brain tissue to alter behavior27
2118290436LobotomyA now-rare psychosurgical procedure once used to calm uncontrollably emotional or violent patients. The procedure cut the nerves that connect the frontal lobes to the emotion-controlling centers of the inner brain28

Need Notes?

While we strive to provide the most comprehensive notes for as many high school textbooks as possible, there are certainly going to be some that we miss. Drop us a note and let us know which textbooks you need. Be sure to include which edition of the textbook you are using! If we see enough demand, we'll do whatever we can to get those notes up on the site for you!
