Q

How does DNA replication work?

A

At the beginning the DNA forms replication forks and replication bubbles. Inside the bubbles they form the semi conserved strands. (the DNA strands that are replicating the DNA). And it ALWAYS replicates from 5 prime to 3 prime (the top strand on the inside goes to the right and the bottom goes to the left).

Q

What is the photosystem and what does it do?

A

Basically it depends on light. Light hits photosystem 2 which excite the electrons and moves them through the electron transport chain to photosystem 1. As it is going through the electron transport chain hydrogens go through the membrane and chill there. Then when the electrons are in photosystem 1 they wait for light to hit photosystem 1 then they go through the electron transport chain and are picked up by nadp + which turns into nadph and are taken to the Calvin cycle.

Q

How do you number the molecules in a nucleic acid? And what elements should we only count?

A

Start with the far right molecule and the top right element. Start your counting with 1 then go around clockwise (right to left) of that molecule until every point is numbered. Then go to the next molecule to the left and do the exact same thing. (only count carbons and hydrogens or the points)

Q

What is the initiation in DNA transcription in & Eukaryotic cells?

Q

How does the PH levels affect enzyme activity?

A

PH levels need to be at the optimal level for the enzyme to be at it’s most effective point. If the PH levels are above or below the optimal level then the enzyme activity decreases.
