Q

Describe difference between kinetic and potential and give examples

A

Potential energy is the amount of work an object is able to do given its location, example is a ball on top of a hill.

Kinetic energy is the amount of energy of an object while in motion, example is when on roller coaster.

Q

Define redox reactions and recognize importance during cell respiration.

A

Redox reactions is the oxidation (losing electrons) of one molecule and the reduction (gaining electrons) of another. This is important in cell respiration because glucose is oxidized (losing H’s) and oxygen is reduced (gaining H’s).

Q

Define dehydration synthesis.

A

This occurs as a pair of monomers connect to create a larger molecule (polysaccharides). The -H at the end of 1 molecule binds with the -OH at the end of the other to form the large molecule, creating water.

Q

What is the difference between exergonic and endergonic reactions?

A

Exergonic: net release of energy, spontaneous, negative change in energy because less final energy

Endergonic: absorbs energy, not spontaneous, positive change in energy because more final energy

Q

Types of proteins:

A

Amino Acids: Make proteins. C with -NH2 (amino group), -COOH (carboxyl), and -R (radical)

Peptide Bonds: attach amino acids

21
Q

What is the structure of a nucleotide?

A
  • C-N ring (nitrogenous base)
  • Sugar
  • Phosphate groups
22
Q

What is the structure of ATP?

A
  • Adenosine (nitrogenous base)
  • Ribose (sugar)
  • 3 phosphate groups
23
Q

What is DNA?

A

Made up of nucleotides, makes up genes

24
Q

What is RNA?

A

Made up of nucleotides, gives instruction for synthesizing proteins. Makes sure amino acids are in the right order to create proteins

25
Q

What is an enzyme and how does it function?

A

An enzyme is a catalyst (usually protein) that speeds up a chemical reaction by lowering the activation energy a reaction needs to get started.

26
Q

What are the functions of the plasma membrane?

A

Surrounds the cell, giving it boundaries.

27
Q

What are the functions of the nucleus?

A

Houses the genetic material to carry out protein synthesis. Site of protein synthesis.

28
Q

What is the difference between active and passive transport?

A

Passive uses concentration gradient, doesn’t require energy input while active requires energy.

29
Q

What is simple diffusion?

A

Natural movement of particles down concentration gradient.

30
Q

What is facilitated diffusion?

A

Transport of molecules down concentration gradient through selectively permeable membrane via carrier (no direct ATP)

31
Q

What is osmosis?

A

Net flow of water through a selectively permeable membrane due to difference in solute concentration or mechanical

32
Q

What is filtration?

A

Movement of water and solutes through selectively permeable membrane due to hydrostatic pressure

33
Q

What is vesicular transport?

A

Using ATP, movement of solutes and solvents through plasma membrane via vesicles.

34
Q

What is endocytosis?

A

Vesicular transport of particles into cell

35
Q

What is exocytosis?

A

Eliminating meterial from cell by creating vesicle within cell, fusing with membrane and expelling contents outside.

36
Q

What is phagocytosis?

A

“Cell eating” where cells engulf large particles via pseudopods

37
Q

What is pinocytosis?

A

“Cell drinking”, where cell imbibes extracellular fluid via the plasma membrane pinching inwards with droplets

38
Q

What is receptor-mediated endocytosis?

A

Phagocytosis or pinocytosis where specific solutes bind to receptors on membrane and are taken in, in clathrin-coated vesicles

39
Q

What is the difference between primary and secondary active transport systems?

A

Primary uses an ATP-powered pump to transport particles, while in secondary, the pump itself doesn’t use ATP but relies on energy produced via ionic concentration differences

40
Q

What is cotransport?

A

Transportation of 2+ solutes at the same time in the same direction through membrane via facilitated diffusion or active transport

41
Q

What is countertransport?

A

Transport of 2+ solutes in opposite directions through membrane

42
Q

What is uniport?

A

Carrier that transports only one solute

43
Q

What is symport?

A

Carrier for cotransport

44
Q

What is antiport?

A

Carrier for countertransport

45
Q

What is the reaction for cellular respiration forwards and backwards?

A

C6H12O6 + 6O2 = 6CO2 + 6H2O

46
Q

State the steps of mitosis:

A
  1. Prophase
  2. Metaphase
  3. Anaphase
  4. Telophase
  5. Cytokinesis
47
Q

Define metabolism using catabolism and anabolism:

A

Metabolism of the body is the combined process of breaking down molecules (catabolism) and building new molecules (anabolism)

48
Q

What is the structure of DNA?

A

Adenine: either pyrmidine (single C) or purine (double C)
Deoxyribose
Phosphate

49
Q

What does the process of protein synthesis look like?

A
