from save my exams Flashcards
enzyme used in dna
dna polymerase
used to form new complementary base strand in condension reaction
ribosomes
made of protines and ribosomal dna and found in prokaryotes and eukayotoes
in prokayyotes transcriptiona and translation can happen spontanouslt which is because
there is no nucleus
rough er has
ribosomes on surface
ringed seal
water:
boyant in water due to low density blubber
viscosity- streamline shape, reduces water drag
thermal conductivity- insulating blubber to reduce ºc lost
air:
specific heat capacity- survive in lairs which insulate by trapped air
latent heat of
fusion and vaporisation
black throated loon
water:
viscosity- hydrodynamic
thermal conductivity- oiled eteiror fethers to exclure water,
air
boyancy- big wings to generate lift in air
viscosity- aerodynamic which reduces drag
thermal conductivity- insulated air trapped in down feathers
why do h bonds happen in water
because of the polarity of covalent bonds there is unequal sharing of the electrons, so h bonds occure between water molecules.
cohesion exmples
water sticking together on lake giving high surface tensionb for animals
going up with a transpiration pull in xylem, forming a chain by water tension
adhesion examples
capillary action in soil and cellulose in plant call wal and
the role of complementary base pairing alows
genetic info to be replicated and expressed
purines (a g)
bond to
pyridines c t
chargaff made the point that
there were 4 repeating sequences in dna
there is fossil
evidence on seafloor hydrothemral vents which shows evcidence of conserved sequences from genome analysis
prokaryotic cell has
cell wall, plasma membrane, cytoplasm, naked DNA in a loop and 70S ribosomes.
