    Course Resources are available on \\facstaff\biology [Restricted to CBU]
    • To use the image files on \\facstaff\biology you will want to use an image browser such as ACDSee (ACDSee is  installed on all the biology lab PC’s).
    • To use \\facstaff\biology 
      • Anyone can access this shared volume from any CBU networked PC on campus that can handle file sharing.  This includes all the PCs in the Computer Center, the Science Building, Buckman, the Library, and Nolan Hall.  A person could also connect to this from their CBU dorm room. 
      • You can access the volume using \\facstaff\biology even if you don't use your username and password when logging into windows networking.  [For username enter b2 and password win9598]   You can leave the password blank.]
      • Use Windows Explorer (or ACDSee) and look for the Drive listing:  'BIOLOGY on Samba'.  If it is not listed on the PC you wish to use, then go to Windows Explorer, pull down the menu under Tools. Select Map Network Drive and map a drive to \\facstaff\biology .  (Be sure the "Reconnect at logon" box is checked and you won't have to repeat this step.)
      • If you use a valid CBU username and password when you login to windows networking, you can map a network drive to  \\facstaff\biology.
    • What's Available: Open the Resources folder for your Biology course.  Lecture Resources include PowerPoint lecture slides for each course Unit.  Lab Resources include Digital Images and tutorials sorted by lab topic. (Use the ACDSee image browser.)
    • The image files will load quickly from within the CBU Network.  These files are NOT designed to be accessed via modem!

    Diffusion and Active Transport Definitions  (modified from Dr. James S. Miller)
    1. Simple diffusion - transport through the lipid phase of the membrane; rate dependent on lipid solubility and concentration gradient; does not require ATP, passive.
    2. Facilitated diffusion - transport through a protein carrier/pore; rate dependent on concentration gradient and carrier/pore efficiency (and of course also the number of proteins carriers); does not require ATP, passive.  (Some authors use "facilitated diffusion" for carrier mediated transport but not for channel mediated transport, as for ions.  However, most prefer to include both under "facilitated" diffusion".)  Note that the rate of facilitated diffusion can be no faster than that of simple diffusion.
    3. Active transport - transport via a protein that is linked to energy use; transportation can be against a concentration gradient and can create a concentration gradient 

    1 & 2 (simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion) can both be referred to as "passive transport" - no energy consumption is directly involved
    2 & 3 (facilitated diffusion and active transport) can both be referred to as "carrier mediated" - a carrier protein/pore is involved, and transport exhibits properties of saturation and competition

  • Cell Metabolism: Text Ch. 4 PowerPoint Lecture slides are available on \\facstaff\biology and WebCT.
  •  
    Q:  Why are fats the primary stores of energy, as opposed to carbohydrates?
    A:  The main advantage is that fats are a lower density energy supply; 5 grams of fat contain the same amount of bond energy as 9 grams of carbohydrates. Fat molecules also don't have the hydration shell that surrounds carbohydrates. -- Ruth Buskirk, University of Texas  NABT
    • "...gram for gram, fats provide more energy than carbohydrates."
    • "When you weigh a carbohydrate, more oxygen is included in that weight. When you weigh a fat, you get more carbon atoms per gram and therefore, gram for gram, the fats will give even more energy (over twice as much) than will the carbohydrates. Generally, fats provide about 9 kilocalories per gram and carbohydrates provide about 4 kilocalories per gram. (Using nutritional units, that is 9 Calories/gram for fats and 4 Calories/gram for carbohydrates.)"

    Human Hamstring Muscles:  Here's a suggestion on how to remember the relative positions of these three muscles... The "Semi's" go together:  Semitendinosus has a long tendon and Semimembranosus is more medial.  The Biceps femoris is "by" itself on the lateral aspect of the thigh.  (Source:  Krieger, Paul.  20004.  Using creative analogies to teach A&P.  HAPS Educator, Fall 2004: p. 27.)

    "Rigor mortis seems to be due to the final absolute depletion of ATP in the muscles, which then stops the cycle of actin-myosin activity at the point at which new ATP would be used:  namely, the detachment of myosin from actin.  This leaves all the myosin crossbridges in a permanent state of attachment to actin, with no possibility of relative movement between any of the thick and thin filaments.  With all the sliding filaments 'frozen up,' the muscle becomes quite rigid.  The subsequent loss of Rigor Mortis is then due to the breakdown of the muscle tissue that follows."  Dr. Steven N. Trautwein
    Also see:  Medico-legal problems of establishing the time of death:
    ... "corpses can usually be divided into those, still warm, in which no rigor is present, indicating death within about the previous three hours. Those in which rigor is progressing, where death probably occurred between 2 and 9 hours previously; and those in which rigor is fully established, showing that death took place more than 9 hours previously." "If full rigor is present, then one might assume that this is about the second day following death, depending upon the environmental conditions."

    Lactic Acid Helps Muscles  [From Science Roundup by AAAS] 

    "We've all felt it at some point -- the ache and burn of muscle fatigue after a long run or intense workout. Conventional wisdom holds that lactic acid -- generated when physical exertion deprives our muscles of oxygen and they switch from aerobic to anaerobic means to create energy -- is to blame for the pain. Now, a report in the 20 Aug 2004 Science shows that, on the contrary, accumulation of lactic acid actually helps to maintain muscle function. Using a preparation of skinned rat skeletal muscle fibers, Pedersen et al. demonstrated that the increased acidity associated with lactic acid production decreases the activity of chloride ion channels and helps muscles maintain their electrical excitability and ability to contract. These chloride channels normally help maintain the balance of electrical signals (which also involves sodium and potassium ions) that prevents spontaneous contractions in rested muscles. An accompanying Perspective by D. Allen and H. Westerblad highlighted the report and reviewed the history of lactic acid in muscle fatigue research."
