Exam 2 (part 1) Flashcards
All cells have…
Proteins
Nucleic acids
Carbs
Plasma membranes
Ribosome structure and function
Made of rna and protein
Used for protein synthesis
Energy
Ability to do work or supply heat
Potential energy is related to
Position of shared electrons in covalent bonds
Chemical energy
Molecules potential to form stronger bonds
A type of potential energy
Thermal energy is
Don’t say heat
Kinetic energy of molecular motion
Temperature is a measure of…
Thermal energy in a molecule
Heat is a measure of
Thermal energy being transferred between two objects
Two factors that determine spontaneity of a reaction…
Entropy
Hi to lo potential energy
Reactions proceed in the direction that results in…
Lower PE
And Increased disorder
A nucleic acid is —— of nucleotide ——
Polymer
Monomer
Nucleotide components
Phosphate group
Five carbon sugar (pentose)
A nitrogenous base
Monomers of rna
Ribonucleotides
Monomer of DNA
Deoxyribonucleotides
Difference between DNA and rna
DNA is more stable
Rna can replicate itself
DNA has h on carbon 2’ and rna has oh on carbon 2’
(Both have oh on carbon 3’)
Two groups of nitrogenous bases
Purines and pyrmidines
Purines
Adenine
Guanine
(Two rings)
Pyrimidines
Cytosine
Thymine
Uracil
(One ring)
Nucleotides polymerize to form—— via ——– reactions
Nucleic acids
Condensation reactions
Nucleotides are bonded together via ——– bond via carbon - –and - —
Phosphodiester bond
3’ oh group - 5’ phosphate group
Phosphodiester linkages form a ——— backbone
Sugar - phosphate backbone
New nucleotides are added to nucleic acids from —– to —–
5’ (phosphate) to 3’ (oh) end
Polymerization requires —— that comes from——
Energy catalyzed by enzymes
ATP is an example of
Don’t say energy source
Activated (adenine) nucleotide
Aka nucleotide with three phosphate groups
Antiparallel means
One strand runs 5’ to 3’ and the other runs 3’ to 5’
DNA has a hydro—- inside and hydro—– outside
Phobic inside
Phillic outside (phosphate)
Primary, secondary and tertiary DNA structure
1 - sequence of nucleotides
2 - double stranded
3 - histone hair clips hold DNA together in chromosomes
Compact DNA leads to…
Discrete units for cell division
Helps DNA fit in nucleus
Contribute to its function (replication?)
DNA needs — to replicate
Enzymes
Hairpin structure
Secondary structure of rna aka stem and loop structure wehere DNA folds on itself to pair (one strand)
Rna tertiary structure
Forms when rna secondary structure folds on itself to form more complex shape
Ribozymes
Rna that functions as an enzyme by catalyze for phosphodiester bonds aka polymerization
saccharide
aka carbohydrate
monosaccharide
simple sugar
