| Diffusion | The net movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration |
| Osmosis | The diffusion of water molecules across a partially permeable membrane, from an area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration |
| Facilitated Diffusion | Moves particles down a concentration gradient, from a higher to a lower concentration, with the help of carrier proteins and channel proteins |
| Active Transport | Uses energy to move molecules and ion across cell membranes, against a concentration gradient involving carrier proteins |
| Endocytosis | The process where a cell surrounds a substance with a section of its cell membrane that pinches off to form a vesicle containing the ingested substance |
| Exocytosis | Vesicles with the substance pinches off from the sacs of the Golgi Apparatus, moving towards the cell membrane, then fusing with the cell membrane and releasing their contents outside |

| Structure of an Amino Acid molecule | |
| Formation of a Peptide Bond | Amino Acid are joined together by the removal of a water molecule (condensation) |
| How to break a Peptide Bond | Can be broken off by adding water (hydrolysis) |
| Polymerisation | Amino Acids can be joined together through a series of condensation reactions called ... |
| Primary Structure of Proteins | The sequence AA in a polypeptide chain forms the primary structure of any protein. It determines its ultimate shape and hence its function. Alter its shape -> won't function as well, if at all |
| Secondary Structure of Proteins | The polypeptide chain doesn't remain flat and straight. Hydrogen Bonds form between AAs in the chain. It makes it coil into a Alpha Helix or fold into a Beta Pleated Sheet. |
| Tertiary Structure of Proteins | This 3-dimensional structure is held in place by chemical bonds (ionic, hydrogen and disulphide) between individual amino acids by hydrophobic interactions between R Groups. |
| Quaternary Structure of Proteins | This structure arises from the combination of a number of different polypeptide chains and associated non-protein (prosthetic) groups into a large complex protein molecule. |
| Fibrous Proteins | -Little or no Tertiary Structure; -Long parallel polyp. chains; -Insolubile in water, very tough; -Found in connective tissue, tendons, collagen, struct. of muscles and keratin; |
| Globular Proteins | -Complex tertiary and smtms Q. structure; -Folded into spherical shapes; -Big protein therefore forms a colloid in water; -Antibodies, enzymes and some hormones |
| Enzymes | Use your sheet |
| How a Mononucleotide is formed and its Structure | -Deoxyribose (a 5-Carbon sugar) -A Phospate Group -An organic base (contains nitrogen) LINKED together by a condensation reaction |
| Formation of a Dinucleotide | Formed after a condensation reaction between the deoxyribose sugar of one mono nucleotide and the phosphate group of another. |
| Formation of a Polynucleotide | The continued linking of mono nucleotides by condensation reactions form a long chain known as ... |
| DNA Structure | 2 long strand of polyn. twisted around each other to form a double helix, like a spiral case. The sugars and phosphates from the "backbone" of the molecule and are on the outside. The bases point inwards and are held together by hydrogen bonds. |
| Formation of a Double Helix | 2 complementary DNA strands join together by Hydrogen bonding between bases. Each base can only join one specific partner by complementary pairing. |
| DNA Replication | DNA unzips, one strand acting as a template for a new strand. Free floating mononuc. join each original template strand by complem. base pairing. The mononuc. on the new strand are joined together by DNA polymerase, then H bonds from between bases. Each DNA molecule contains 1 original strand and a new formed one |
| Describe Semi-Conservative DNA Replication | bacteria grown - either in light or heavy nitrogen (bacteria produces - takes up N - integrates into DNA) 2, samples taken, spun in centrifuge - heavy N bacteria settled lower 3, heavy N bacteria grown light - sample taken then spun 4, IF IT WAS CONSERVATIVE - dna would separate 5, THEY FOUND - dna settled in the middle - mixture of heavy & light I.e SEMI CONSERVATIVE |
| What is a Gene? | Is a sequence of bases that codes for the sequence of amino acids in a protein. |
| What is a triplet/codon? | Each amino acid is coded for by a sequence of 3 bases called... |
| Transcription | 1: DNA helicase breaks h-bonds - DNA unwinds on the SPECIFIC triplet code for a protein... 2: One strand acts as template - free RNA nucleotides line up on template, according to complementary base pairs (U replaces T)... 3: Condensation reaction > peptide bonds form between RNA making mRNA... 4: mRNA leaves through nuclear pore to ribosome for transcription. 5: DNA polymerase coils dna back up |
| Translation | 1: mRNA attaches to ribosome 2: tRNA molecule w/ amino acids attaches > complimentary base pairing of anti-codons to codons 3: Amino acids joined by peptide bonds 4: tRNA moves away 5: attaching & moving until stop-codon reached *polypeptide (amino acid) chain moves away from ribosome |
| Structure of mRNA | Phosphate, pentose sugar, complementary base (U replaces T)... SINGLE stranded It encodes a chemical blueprint of DNA for a protein product, later to be used in the ribosome, being formed in the nucleus |
| Describe how a molecule of mRNA is made during Transcription | -DNA molecule "unzips" as H bonds between strands break -Free nucleotides line up along 1 strand of DNA- the antisense strand -The nucleotides follow the complementary base pairing pattern -RNA Polymerase, an enzyme, bonds the nucleotides together, forming phosphodiester bonds in a condensation reaction forming the mRNA strand |
| Describe tRNA structure | Single folded polynucleotide strand binding site w/ specific amino acid each tRNA has the Anti-codon > binds to codon on mRNA -Mediates recognition of the codon and provides corresponding amino acids |
| The Genetic Code | The way the DNA codes for proteins where each amino acid is coded for by a sequence of 3 bases called a triplet/codon in a gene |
| Template Strand | Also called the antisense strand, is the one that serves as a model, after it was uncoiled, for the mRNA |
| Explain how errors in DNA replication can rise to mutations | Mutations are changes in the base sequence of DNA caused by errors during DNA replication. The order of DNA bases in a gene determines the order of amino acids in a particular protein. If a mutation occurs in a gene, the primary structure of that protein it codes for could be altered, changing the final 3D shape of the protein making it not work properly. |
| Explain how Cystic Fibrosis results from one of a number of possible gene mutations | If a mutation occurs in a gene, it can cause a genetic disorder like cystic fibrosis. The protein the gene codes for is important for mucus production |
| Allele | A different version of a gene. |
| Genotype | The alleles a person has, eg. BB or bb for eye colour |
| Phenotype | The characteristics the alleles produce, e.g. brown eyes |
| Dominant | An allele whose characteristics appears in the phenotype even when there's only one copy |
| Recessive | An allele whose charact. only appears in the phenotype if 2 copies are present |
| Homozygote | An organism that carries 2 copies of the same allele, eg. BB or bb |
| Heterozygote | An organism that carries 2 different alleles, e.g. Bb |
| Carrier | If a recessive allele can cause disease, a carrier is someone who has dominant and one recessive allele. They won't have the disease but they carry a copy of the allele for the disease |
| How does Cystic Fibrosis impairs the gaseous exchange, digestive and reproductive systems? | -Mucus build up in the airways -The tube that connects the pancreas to the small intestine can be blocked with mucus, preventing digestive enzymes from reaching the small intestine. -The tubes connecting the testicles are blocked by mucus so no sperm and in women, thickened cervical mucus can prevent the sperm from reaching the egg |
| Describe Gene Therapy | It involves altering the alleles inside cells to cure genetic disorders. |
| Differ the 2 types of Gene Therapy | -Somatic Therapy: involves changing the alleles in body cells affected by a disorders. Doesn't affect one's sex cells->offsprings could inherit the disease -Germ line Therapy: involves changing the alleles in sex cells. Currently illegal |
| What is Genetic Screening? | It involves analysing DNA to see if it contains alleles for genetic disorders. Has 3 main uses: identification of carriers, PGD and prenatal testing |
| Advantages and Disadvantages of Identification of Carriers | ADV: -Couples can be tested before having children to determine the chances of any future child having the disorder. -Allows people to decide whether to have children or carry out Prenatal Testing Disadv: -The result may cause emotional stress. -The test aren't always 100% accurate. -Other genetic abnormalities can be found leading to further stress. -Results could be used by employers or life insurance companies- genetic discrimination |
| Advantages and Disadvantages of Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) | ADV: -Reduces the chance of having a baby with a genetic disorder. -Performed before implantation, avoids the issue of abortion that could be raised by prenatal testing DISADV: -It can be used to find out other charact, raising the concern that embryos might be selected for other charact. -False results could provide incorrect info |
| Advantages and Disadvantages of Prenatal Testing | ADV: -Allows parents to make informed decisions. If the test is pos, the parents decide whether to have the child or an abortion. This also provides info to prepare in advance for the baby's disorder DISADV: -It slightly increases the rate of miscarriage by 1% -False results could provide incorrect info -Some people consider it unethical to abort a fetus because it had a genetic disorder |
