DNA Polymerization Flashcards
Phosphodiester bond is formed by?
By energy from breaking of the phosphoanhydride bond of an incoming nucleotide. Reaction is catalyzed by DNA polymerase
How does ATP powers cellular work by?
Coupling exergonic reactions to endergonic reactions
Cell kinds of work
Chemical
Transport
Mechanical
ATP stands for
Adenosine triphosphate
ATP is composed of ?
A ribose (sugar) adenine (nitrogenous base) and 3 phosphate groups
ATP Synthesis
Photosynthesis and or respiration provide the energy required to synthesize ATP
ATP Hydrolysis
Provides energy to drive endergonic reactions in the cell
ATP is synthesized by?
Using energy from photosynthesis or respiration. ATP is hydrolyZed to release energy needed for cellular work
DNA Is a polymer of ?
Individual nucleotides containing a base, sugar and 3 phosphate groups
