Exam 1: 1/10 Flashcards
biology is
the study of life
metabolism is
chemical reactions for energy conversion
Sugar and Fat help make
ATP
protein helps make
more proteins
protein is
a long chain of amino acids with a function
functions of a protein
-form a structure
-do a job: metabolism or put together proteins that form a structure
central dogma
DNA->mRNA->protein
transcription
DNA->mRNA
translation
mRNA->protein
how many strands in DNA
2
how many strands in RNA
1
what bases in DNA
ACTG
what bases in RNA
ACUG
ribosomes are used to
make proteins (protein synthesis)
how do viruses break the rules
-they don’t have organelles
-they can have single strand dna and double strand rna
-they cannot reproduce on their own
-cannot perform metabolic processes to make energy
structure of a virus
-genetic material
-protein coat
forms of energy
-light: ATP & sugar
-chemical: ATP
-heat
1st law of thermodynamics
energy can be converted
2nd law of thermodynamics
-chemical reactions release heat
-everything is becoming disorganized
-entropy is increasing
