Hesi Bio Flashcards
What is the structure of proteins
polymers of amino acids
what are the two main functions of steroids
important part of cell membranes, signaling molecules
ribosomes
protein synthesis,read rna, read the genetic instructions to produce proteins
lysosomes
digestive system of the cell,hydrolytic enzymes that makes it easier to break down fats, proteins, sugars and nucleic acids
messenger RNA transfers information
from DNA to ribosomes
transcription
DNA to RNA to MRNA to RNA polymerase
mitotic cell division
results in two identical daughter cells to their parent cells
what is the role of water in photosynthesis?
supply electrons in the light reaction
light reactions
solar light converted into ATP Cell absorbs the light and uses the light energy to split a water molecule and transfers the electrons producing NADH and ATP
calvin cycle
NADH and ATP created by the light reactions to produce sugar.
Crossing over
cells give each other the genetic materials mitosis this does not occur
what comes from photosynthesis?
glucose and oxygen
golgi apparatus
it is the fed ex, transportation, packaging
smooth er
detoxification, synthesis of carbohydrates,lipids, steroids
rough er
membrane production, covered in ribosomes, protein synthesis
carbs
generally long chains or polymers of sugar, storage, structure, and energy, carbon, hydrogen, oxygen
lipids
fatty acids, phospholipids and steroids
fatty acids
saturated and unsaturated
saturated- solids no double bonds
classifications
kingdom, phylum, class, order,family, genus, species
ribosomes
red the rna produced in the nucleus and translate that to make proteins
rough er
Protein synthesis and membrane production
smooth er
detoxification and metabolism of multiple molecules
lysosomes
intracellular digestion, hydrolyze proteins, fats, sugars, nucleic acids
essential amino acids
cannot be made by the body must come from food
nonessential amino acids
amino acids made by the body not essential to the human diet
amino acids
building blocks of proteins
fatty lipids
lipids
nucleic acids
components of the molecules of inheritance
Saturated fats
no double bonds,solid at room temperature
Unsaturated fats
double bonds,liquid at room temperature.
mitosis
cell division - one parent cell divides into identical two daughters
meiosis
sexual cell division comes in two phases no replication of DNA
