Biology concept taught by Dr.Trusha
The Student reviewed cell structure and organelles, focusing on the Golgi apparatus and protein transport. The session involved drawing and labeling diagrams, and answering questions on vesicle formation and function, and the structure of the cell membrane. The student was assigned further questions on the same topics for the next class.
Nucleus and DNA
Cell Organelles
Integral vs. Peripheral Proteins
Diffusion Across Cell Membranes
Phospholipid Bilayer
Functions of Vesicles
Vesicles and Clathrin
Golgi Apparatus
The Tutor and Student reviewed enzyme function, including induced fit binding, molecular motion, and the effects of denaturation. They discussed metabolic pathways and enzyme inhibition, working through questions to prepare for a quiz. The Student was assigned to review the material in preparation for their quiz the next day.
Induced Fit Binding
Molecular Motion in Enzyme Catalysis
Enzyme Action Summary Equation
Enzyme Denaturation
Activation Energy and Enzymes
Intracellular vs. Extracellular Digestion
Competitive and Non-Competitive Inhibition
The session involved a discussion of fatty acid metabolism, including triglyceride structure, energy storage, and enzymatic breakdown. The student and tutor reviewed the enzymes and hormones involved in releasing fatty acids from triglycerides, and the activation of free fatty acids. They planned to continue the discussion and finish the remaining questions in the following sessions.
Triglyceride Structure and Energetic Advantage
Lipolysis: Releasing Fatty Acids from Triglycerides
Gibbs Free Energy in Fatty Acid Activation
Energy Coupling and Reaction Irreversibility
Fatty Acyl-CoA Synthetase: Activating Fatty Acids
Hormonal Control and Signal Transduction
The Student and Tutor discussed chromosome mutations, ploidy levels (haploid, diploid, polyploid), mitosis vs. meiosis, and different types of polyploidy (autopolyploidy, allopolyploidy). They also covered aneuploidy and the effects of nondisjunction. The Student was assigned homework to read about chromosome rearrangement, deletion loops, and segregation pairing configurations.
Gene Balance and Dosage Effects
Aneuploidy and Nondisjunction
Autopolyploidy vs. Allopolyploidy
Mitosis vs. Meiosis
Ploidy: Haploid
Diploid
and Polyploid
Chromosome Mutations
The session involved a review of cell cycle regulators, specifically CDH1 and Cyclin F, and their roles in cell cycle progression and genomic stability. The Student and Tutor discussed experimental evidence supporting their functions and the consequences of their dysregulation. The Tutor highlighted the importance of understanding the interplay between CDH1, Cyclin F, and other cell cycle components like APC/C and cyclins A, B, and E for the upcoming exam.
Cyclin F and CDH1 Antagonistic Relationship
CDH1 as a Haploinsufficient Tumor Suppressor
Spindle Assembly Checkpoint (SAC) and EMI1 in Preventing Premature APC/C Activation
Cyclin F's Role in Cell Cycle Regulation and Genomic Integrity
Cyclin F Level Fluctuations Throughout the Cell Cycle
CDH1 and APC/C Regulation of the Cell Cycle
The session focused on revising key concepts in chemistry of life, including water properties, biological molecules, monomers, polymers, and nucleic acids. The Student practiced explaining the structure and function of carbohydrates and lipids. The Tutor assigned the Student to remind them about creating a study guide and planned further review and testing in upcoming sessions.
