Q

where do the electrons go in the ETC?

A

they leave NADH and FADH2 and move through proteins in the membrane
oxygen is the final electron accepter and H2O is produced as a result
energy released from the e- movement is used to actively transport H+ across the membrane

Q

what is the difference btw PS2 and PS1?

A

photons are absorbed by chlorophyll in PS2, exciting an e-
e- flows to PS1 by the ETC and another photon is absorbed in PS1, exciting an e-, which is picked up by NADP+, reducing it to NADPH
e- boosted by PS2 are passed through the ATP mill and boosted again by PS1, to reduce NADP+ to NADPH

why are cancer cells different from normal cells?

A

they don’t need a solid surface in order to divide

they don’t stop dividing once cells get crowded, forming tumors

DNA is transcribed into RNA

A

nucleotide language is translated into amino acid language

78
Q

form and function of tRNA

A

tRNA has a specific amino acid attached to it, along with an anticodon
its function is to bring amino acids into the ribosome, where proteins are constructed

79
Q

initiation stage of translation

A

mRNA binds to a small ribosomal subunit, and the first tRNA binds to the mRNA at the start codon
the large ribosomal subunit joins the small subunit, allowing the ribosome to function

80
Q

elongation stage of translation

A

codon recognition: next tRNA binds to the mRNA at the A site
peptide bond formation: joining of the new amino acid to the chain
translocation: tRNA is released from the P site and the ribosome moves tRNA from the A to the P site

81
Q

termination stage of translation

A

completed polypeptide is released
ribosomal subunits separate
mRNA is released and can be translated again

82
