A

Cupredoxins

21
Q

Iron sulfur protein.
Also an electron transfer in photosynthetic bacteria

A

High Potential Iron Protein

HIPIPPPP

22
Q

Receives an electron coming from NADPH (NICOTINAMIDE ADENINE DINUCLEOTIDE PHOSPHATE) In the Calvin cycle

A

Adrenodoxin Reductase

23
Q

example of how proteins work as a channel for Ions:

A

Bioelectric- Voltage-gated

Ligand-Gated : Opens and closes because a binding has occurs

24
Q

Macromolecules in cells include

A

Proteins

Nucleic Acids

Carbohydrates

Lipids

25
are monosaccharides Contain C, H, O, in 1:2:1 ratio Ex: glucose, galactose, etc. Ex: C6H12O6
Monomers
26
All have hydrophobic regions but many are amphipathic Not a true macromolecule
Lipids
27
Lipids are not true macromolecules because
they don’t undergo polymerization.
28
do most of the jobs in cells: Antibodies Enzymes Carry oxygen Transporters Structure (cell cytoskeleton) and many, many more…
Proteins
29
1 protein strand
peptide
30
Four building blocks in DNA
Adenine Cytosine Guanine Thymine
30
twenty amino acids
Alanine (A) Arginine (R) Aspartate (D) Asparagine (N) Cysteine (C) Glycine (G) Glutamate (E) Glutamine(Q) Histidine (H) Isoleucine (I) Leucine (L) Lysine (K) Methionine (M) Phenylalanine (F) Proline (P) Serine (S) Threonine (T) Tryptophan (W) Tyrosine (Y) Valine (V)
31
multiple protein strands
polypeptide
32
Four building blocks in RNA
Adenine Cytosine Guanine Uracil
33
Nucleic acid monomers (Nucleotides)
Sugar —Deoxyribose, Ribose Phosphate Nitrogenous base
34
Bonds in Nucleic Acid
Phosphodiester bond
35
Process of combining monomers
polymerization Less energy consuming, but does a lot (na ol)
36
Chemical reactions in cells:
Metabolism -Anabolism -Catabolism
37
joining molecules to make a bigger molecule by removing water
Dehydration synthesis
38
Four Macromolecules, but three go through polymerization
Carbohydrate, Protein, and Nucleic Acids
39
ALL the chemical reactions that happen in cells
Metabolism
40
Chemical reactions can _____ molecules together.
join or break
41
Carbohydrates are joined together by
glycosidic bonds
42
is the movement of small particles across a selectively permeable membrane like the cell membrane until equilibrium is reached. These particles move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
Diffusion
43
is the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane like the cell membrane Water diffuses across a membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
Osmosis
44
is the movement of larger molecules like glucose through the cell membrane – larger molecules must be “helped”
channels
45
Proteins that form channels (pores) are called
protein channels
46
For such cases Nature has evolved a special class of membrane proteins called ------------ that allow water to pass through the membrane at a very high rate.
aquaporins
