Bio 1201 Flashcards
of Neutrons
Atomic Mass - Protons
Atomic Mass

Ionic Bonds
Electrons lost or gained
Electronegativity: 1.7 or greater
(polar)
Covalent Bonds (Nonpolar)
Equal sharing of electrons
Electronegativity: less than 0.5
(carbon bonded to anything)
Polar Covalent Bonds
Non equal sharing of electrons
Electronegativity: 0.5 - 1.7
Functional Groups
groups of atoms attached to carbon backbone
Hydroxyl
-OH
Carbonyl
C = O
Carboxyl
HO - C = O
**ACIDIC
Amino
H - N - H
Phosphate

O=P-O

4 Classes of Organic Molecules
- carbohydrates
- lipids
- proteins
- nucleic acids
Carbohydrates
C, O same
Double H
Lipids
Mainly C & H with few O’S
Proteins (Amino Acid)
Central carbon attached to a amino group, carboxyl group, hydrogen group, and something else
Nucleic Acids
5 carbon sugar, phosphate group, nitrogen base
Spontaneous Reaction
Can occur without outside help (Exergonic)
-release free energy - ΔG
Non-Spontaneous Reaction
Needs outside help (Endergonic)
-require free enegy + ΔG
Free Energy Equation
ΔG = ΔH - T ΔS ΔG: free energy ΔH: Change in enthalpy T: Temperature in Kelvin ΔS: Change in entropy (disorder)
Enzymes
Almost all are proteins, they speed up the rate of the reaction by lowering the activation energy
Induced Fit Model
Substrate binds to active site and this alters shape of enzyme by creating fit that promotes a reaction
Why do cell membranes exist?
- They keep contents of the cell from leaking out
- Maintain concentrations
- Creates free energy gradients
Isotonic
Equal concentration, normal
Hypertonic
Less concentrated, shrivel
Osmosis
Net movement of water across a semi permeable membrane
Diffusion
Movement of molecules from hi concentration to low concentration
Where and how is most of the ATP produced in the cells?
Mitochondria, and ATP synthase
Cellular Respiration:
Breakdown glucose, releases energy, captures energy in the form of ATP
Photosynthesis
6CO2 + 12H20 + LIGHT —-> 6O2 + C6H12O6 + 6H20
Two stages of Photosynthesis
- Light dependent reactions (light reactions)
- cyclic
- noncyclic - Light independent reactions (dark reactions-Calvin Cycle)
Cyclic Photophos
Light + ADP —> ATP
Non Cyclic photophos
Light + H20 + ADP + NADP+ —-> O2 + ATP + NADPH+ + H+
Calvin Cycle
CO2 + NADPH + H20 + ATP —> G3P + H+ + NADPH+ + ADP
CDK + Cyclin
MPF
Karyokinesis
Division of the nucleus (mitosis and meiosis)
A cell in G2 of interphase will have how much DNA compared to the same cell when it was in G1 of interphase?
Twice as many
Mitosis
Produces identical daughter cells
if the haploid number is 44, what is the diploid number
88
Prophase
Chromosomes attach to spindle
Metaphase
Chromosomes allign in center
Anaphase
Chromosome begin to pull apart
Telophase
Chromosomes most to spindle post
What genes are located on the Y(male) chromosome
Hairy ears
What genes are located on the X chromosome
color blindness, hemolphilia
Phenotype
Physical expression of alleles (ex. purple flowers)
Genotype
Listing of alleles
Ex: AA or Aa
Mitosis
Prophase: 4, 8 replicated Metaphase: 4, 8 replicated Anaphase: 8, 8 un-replicated Telophase: 8, 8 un-replicated Cytokinesis: 4, 4 un-replicated
Meiosis I
Pro: 4, 2, 8 Meta: 4, 2, 8 Ana: 4, 2, 8 Telo: 4, 2, 8 Cyt: 2, 0, 4 (ALL REPLICATED)
Meiosis II
Pro II: 2, 0, 4 Meta II: 2, 0, 4 Ana II: 4, 2, 4 (un-replicated) Telo II: 4, 2, 4 Cyto II: 2, 0, 2
DNA to DNA
Replication
DNA to RNA
Transcription
RNA to protein
Translation
DNA Replication process
- Topoisomores- breaks backbone
- DNA Helicase - unwinds DNA
- SSBP - keep strands of DNA apart
- DNA Polymerase - makes DNA
- RNA primer- starts DNA synthesis
- DNA ligase - connects fragments
DNA Replication deals with
Leading and Lagging strand
Transcription
DNA to RNA
mRNA: messenger
tRNA: transfer
rRNA: ribosomal
RNA Processing
Occurs in Eukaryotes mRNA, the 5’ end gets capped, poly A tail added to 3’ end, and splicing occurs (taking out introns)
Translation
RNA to Protein
Small Subunit: binds to 5’ end and finds AUG (start codon)
Large Subunit: Binds at AUG
- tRNA comes in and binds to nucleotides
What makes peptide bonds?
Amino Acids
What does RNA not contain?
Thymine
Explain hydrogen concentrations in relation to the cell
More hydrogen ions should be inside cell in order to make ATP, when you decrease pH then the concentration goes up
where does photosynthesis occur in plants
Thylakoid
Rough ER
involved in protein synthesis
Golgi Apparatus
Packaging and manufacturing for things leaving the cells
Mitochondria
Cellular Respiration, can make own proteins, contains DNA
Chloroplast
Photosynthesis, can make own protein, contains DNA
Higher Concentration (more people in room)
Lower entropy, higher free energy
The Electron Transport chain is part of the
Inner mitochondrial membrane
