Module 5 Flashcards
Proteins
What are the levels of structure
Primary, Secondary, Tertiary, Quaternary
Cellular chaperones aid in the desired folding of…
Proteins
The monomers of RNA and DNA polymers are…
Nucleotides
The bonds creating the primary structure of proteins are…
Peptide bonds
The nucleic acid responsible for the protein blueprints is…
DNA
The nucleic acid that would deliver amino acids to ribosomes for protein synthesis would be…
tRNA
T/F If a nucleic acid you are analyzing contains uracil, you will know it is DNA
False
T/F Low pH is all it takes to break the peptide bonds of proteins
False
T/F Enzymes are protein catalysts with very specific binding sites for reactants in a reaction and lower the activation energy needed for the reaction
True
T/F mRNA is a complimentary copy of a DNA gene
True
T/F A gene contains the information for the quaternary structure of a protein
False
what does essential amino acids mean
the body can’t make them, they must come from diet all in the same meal
what kind off bonds form protiens
peptide bonds
what are denatures proteins
breaking the weaker “shaping” bonds ex. hydrogen
what are the conditions of denatures
low pH or high temperatures
what type of molecule are enzymes
proteins
what is the function or enzymes
responsive to changes in homeostasis
what are the monomers of nucleic acids
nucleotides
what is the base for DNA
Adenine (A)-(G) Guanine
Cytosine (C)-(T) Thymine
what is the base for RNA
Adenine (A)-(G) Guanine
Cytosine (C)-(U) Uracil
what is the difference between DNA and RNA
DNA- protein blueprints
RNA- construction assembly
