Q

what are cyclins

A

cyclins are porteins that control the progression of the cell cycle
- bind to cyclin dependent kinases –> activates specific proteins involved in cell cycles –> afterwards cyclin degraded, CDK inactive

23
Q

cell resp begins with G…

A

glycolysis – break down of glucose into pyruvate x2
- 2 ATP used: glucose phosphorylated by ATP
6C sugar splits into 2 3C sugars
- NAD+ reduced to NADH
- 4 ADP –> 4 ATP , net gain 2ATP

24
Q

anaerobic resp forms …

A

either lactic acid OR ethanol+CO2

25
Q

aerobic resp full cycle 3

A

glycolysis
link reaction
krebs cycle
ETC

26
Q

link reaction

A

pyruvate oxidised –> NADH (reduced carrier)
pyruvate decarboylated –> acetyl CoA (+ CO2)

27
Q

krebs cycle

A
  1. Acetyl CoA + 4C compound = 6C compound
  2. 6C –> 4C (+CO2)
  3. NADH/FADH2 formed – oxidation reactions
  4. 1 ATP per cycle
28
Q

electron transport chain

A
  1. reduced carriers are oxidised at ETC
  2. energy used to make ATP (oxidative phosphorylation
  3. 32 ATP prod
29
Q

net atp from aerobic resp

A

36

30
Q

intermembrane space H+ conc vs mitochondrial matrix

A

high vs low
H+ are pumped OUT of matrix

31
Q

oxidative phosphorylation

A
  1. carrier molecules donate electrons to the ETC
  2. Electrons lose energy as they pass along ETC – energy used to pump H+ out mitochondrial matrix
  3. H+ ions form electrochemical gradient
  4. H+ pumped back into MM thru ATP synthase – translocation prod 32 ATP
  5. electrons w/o energy removed by oxygen (H2O)
32
Q

light dependent reaction

A

light e –> chem e
- light absorbed by chlorphyll to prod ATP
- photolysis of water = O2 +H2, reduce to NAHPH

33
Q

light independent reactions

A

carbon compounds made from chem energy
- ATP + hydrogen carbon fixed with CO2
- formation of org compounds for cell processes

34
Q

NADPH vs NADH

A

similar but NADPH is photosynthesis and NADH is cellular resp

35
Q

where do light depenedent and independent reactions occur

A

light dep – thylakoids (flattened membrane stacks)
independendt – stroma

36
Q

light dependenet reactions

A

non cyclic phosphorylation and cyclic phosphorylation

37
Q

light dependent reactons

A
  1. carbon fixation
  2. reduction of GP
  3. regen of RuBP
38
Q

gene definition

A

heritable factor – consists of DNA sequence, influences specific trait

39
Q

allele def

A

alternate forms of a gene – code for diff variations of the same trait

40
Q

how does sickle cell anaema alter haemoglobin structure

A

insoluble strands

chi squared test expected frequencies

A

= (row total x column total)/grand totalc
