Questão Responda
What is the monomer DNA is made up of? Nucleotide
What are the parts of a DNA nucleotide? Phosphate Deoxyribose sugar Nitrogenous base
What are the bases in DNA? Adenine===Thymine Guanine===Cytosine
What are the base pairs in RNA? Adenine===Uracil Cytosine===Guanine
What are the main differences between RNA and DNA? DNA has deoxyribose sugar but RNA has ribose sugar DNA is double starnded RNA is single stranded DNA is a longer chain but RNA is shorter
Where is a phosphodiester bond formed? Between the phosphate group and the sugar in a polynucleotide chain
Where are hydrogen bonds formed in DNA? Between the nitrogenous bases
What are three monosaccharides? Glucose Galactose Fructose
What three elements do all carbohydrates contain? Carbon Hydrogen Oxygen
Glucose + Glucose= Maltose
Maltose= Glucose+Glucose
Glucose + Galactose= Lactose
Lactose= Glucose + Galactose
Glucose + Fructose= Sucrose
Sucrose= Glucose + Fructose
What is the difference between α glucose and β glucose?
What reaction is involved in the formation of disaccharides? Condensation reaction
What is eliminated in a condensation reaction? A molecule of water
What reaction would split a disaccharide? Hydrolysis reaction
What is DNA Helicase? The enzyme that splits the DNA double helix into two strands
What is DNA polymerase? The enzyme that catalyses the addition of nucleotide substatates
How does DNA replicate itself? Semi-conservative replication
What proof is there for semi-conservative replication of DNA? Meselson and Stahl experiment
What does DNA polymerase? Joins the nucleotides together via a condensation reaction (phosphodiester bond)
What does DNA Helicase do? breaks the hydrogen bonds and causes polynucleotide chains to unzip
What bond joins nucleotides together? Phosphodiester bonds
What makes up the nucleus? Nuclear pores Nuclear envelope Chromatin Nucleolus Nucleoplasm
What is the difference between smooth and rough ER? Smooth ER does not have ribosomes attached Rough ER does
What is the function of smooth ER? Lipid, steroid and carbohydrate synthesis, storage and transport
What is the function of rough ER? Protein synthesis and transport
What is the function of chloroplasts? Makes glucose via photosynthesis Key defence against pathogens
What is the function of mitochondria? Converts energy from the breakdown of glucose into ATP via aerobic respiration
How is energy stored in ATP? In the phosphate bonds
What is resolution? The smallest distance between two particles which allows them to be distinguished as separate articles
What is the equation for magnification?
What is a TEM? Transmitting electron microscope Best resolution Beam of electrons pass through substance detected on fluorescent screen produces a 2D image
What is SEM? Scanning electron microscope Specimen coated in heavy metals Thicker structures can be seen 3D image
What is a globular protein? Metabolic functions Tertiary structure compact shape Not stable
What is a fibrous protein? Structural functions Long chains wound into a helix linked by cross bridges very stable
What is the primary structure of a protein? A Linear sequence of amino acids
What is the secondary structure of a protein? Polypeptide chain coiled or twisted into an α helix or β sheet
What is the tertiary structure of a protein? Compact globular chain
What is the quaternary structure of a protein? More than one polypeptide chain
What is the monomer in protein and what is its structure? Amino acid Contains amino group and carboxyl group
What is an enzyme? Biological catalyst
What is the structure of the active site? A specific pattern of amino acids that is complementary to a specific substrate
What is the name of a protein digesting enzyme secreted by the pancreas to act in the small intestine? Tyripsin
What is the name of a protein digesting enzyme produced by the stomach? Pepsin
What does the enzyme lactase do? Breaks down lactose to glucose and galactose
What does the enzyme sucrase do? breaks down sucrose into glucose and fructose
What does the enzyme maltase do? Breaks down maltose into two molecules of glucose
What enzyme acts on triglycerides and is stored in bile Pancreatic lipase
What is a diploid cell? A cell with two sets of chromosomes
What is a haploid cell? A cell with half the number of chromosomes
How does meiosis bring about genetic variation? Independent segregation of homologous chromosomes Recombination of homologous chromosomes by crossing over
What is crossing over in meiosis?
What is independent segregation in meiosis? The random way in which each chromosome lines up alongside it's homologous pair
What happens in prophase? Chromosomes condense and the nuclear envelope disintergrates
What happens in metaphase? The chromosomes line up at the equator of the nucleus and become attached to spindle fibres
What happens in anaphase? The chromatids of each chromosome are pulled and separated by the spindle towards opposite poles of the nucleus
What happens in telophase? Nuclear envelope reforms and two daughter neuclei are made
What is interphase? The resting phase between mitosis or between meiosis I and meiosis II
What happens in cytokensis? The cell organelles and cytoplasm is repliated.
