Science(5) Flashcards
Concerned the study of genes,genetic variation and heridity in organism
Genetic
Genetic information of living organism
DNA(Deoxyribonucleic Acid or The Human body recipe)
The DNA was first identified by
Friedrich Miescher
The DNA was first identified by who
Friedrich Miescher
Double helix structure were first discovered by
James Watson and Francis Crick
Functions of DNA:
Energy Carriers: ATP and GTP
Cellular Respiration: NAD and FAD
Signal Transduction: Cyclic AMP
Vitamins: Nicotamide, Mononucleotide and Vitamin B2)
Ladder is made up of nucleotides:
Phospate Backbone,Five Carbon Sugar, and Nitrogenous Base
Like the sides of a ladder.Without it, no DNA strand will be formed
Phosphate Backbone
Phospate Backbone reffered to as
Sugar-phosphate backbone
Is a deoxygenated five-carbon sugar.Main purpose is to link the nucleic acids to the phosphate backbone
Deoxyribose
What are the 2 nitrogenous BASES
Purines and Pyrimidines
Purine has
Double Ring Structures
Pyrimidines has
Single Ring Structure
Is one of the three essential macromolecules that is needed by living things
Ribonucleic Acid
Made up of five carbon sugar called
Ribose
3 kinds of RNA
mRNA
tRNA
rRNA
Formed in the nucleoplasm with the use of DNA template
Messenger RNA
Describe as clover-shaped with three exposed bases called anticodons and an amino acid
Transfer RNA
Provides mechanism for decoding mRNA into amino-acids
Ribosomal Acid
Most structurally varied molecule in which the human body containts atleas 10,000 different kinds of proteins
Proteins
Building block of proteins
Amino-acid
Atleast has blank different kinds of proteins
10,000
Protein Sythesis:
-Replication
-Transcription
-Translation
