importance of Flashcards
1
Q
light dependent reaction
A
- use of ATP in light independent reaction
- GP to TP
2
Q
light independent reaction
A
- glucose used to respiration
- glycolysis
- substrate level phosphorylation to activate the glucose
3
Q
protein structure
A
- enzyme active sites
- e.g. endo and exopeptidases working to create more ends to speed up digestion
4
Q
mutations
A
- mutations cause variation
- natural selection
5
Q
natural selection
A
- speciation
- biodiversity
6
Q
nerve impulse and refractory period
A
- separate impulses
- unidirectionality
7
Q
starch structure
A
- insoluble
- does not affect osmotic potential
8
Q
complementary base pairing
A
- ensure that genome is the same in every cell
9
Q
nitrogen cycle
A
- nitrates entering plant roots become nucleic acid
- ensure that mitosis can continue and the plant can grow
10
Q
oxygen and haemoglobin
A
- final electron acceptor in oxidative phosphorylation
- protons, electrons and oxygen form water
11
Q
transcription
A
- ensures the correct polypeptide chain can be made
- links to protein structure
- e.g. tertiary structure of enzymes
12
Q
translation
A
- ensures the correct polypeptide chain can be made
- links to protein structure
- e.g. tertiary structure of enzymes
13
Q
protein digestion
A
- amino acids needed for tRNA amino acid attachment site
14
Q
DNA replication
A
- mitosis
- ensures continuity of genetic information to the next generation
15
Q
mitosis
A
- for embryonic development
- stem cells divide and differentiate
