Final Flashcards
Isotope
Missing or extra number of neutrons. Protons and electrons are the same.
Archaea
Prokaryotes, have no cell nucleus or any other membrane-bound organelles in their cells. Sister group Eukarya
Prokaryotes
Simplest cell, no membrane-bound organelles.
Eukaroytes
Have membrane-bound organelles, especially the nucleus, which contains the genetic material, and is enclosed by the nuclear envelope
Sister group of Archea
Eukarya
Peptide Bond
Covalent bond formed between two amino acid molecules
R group
Chemical group attached to the alpha carbon in an amino acid
Mass units
Protons + neutrons
Glucose
Monomer
Amino Acid
Monomer of broken down protein
Carrier molecules
Structures that stick, carry a molecule to change the charge
pH scale
Increase H+ –> more acidic
Increase OH- –> more basic
Salmonella, E coli
Represent first bacteria
Starch
Made up of glucose
Molecule to diffuse in portal
Molecule must dissolve in water, can only dissolve in water if it’s polar. If non-polar, has to dissolve with charges
Active transport
- Facilitated transport + added energy 2. Changing shape of protein 3. Driving movement of a molecule
Suffix -some
Unit
Insulin
Polypeptide
rRNA
Looks at sequence of nitrogenous bases in mRNA
Peptidoglycans
Amino acid —covalent bond— sugar
Mesosomes
Increase surface area, add more protein and enzymes
Na+/K+
K+ into cell, Na+ out of cell
Protein Synthesis
DNA into mRNA, gets read by ribosome, takes in 3 sets of nucleotide. Nucelotide goes into rRNA three at a time and matches the three with tRNA
Endoplasmic reticulum
Factory for protein synthesis (contains ribosomes + mRNA)
IKI
Starch indicator
