Q

describe the difference between he function of free ribosomes vs robomsomees connected to RER

A

Free ribosomes are mainly concerned with assembling proteins to be used within the cell. Ribosomes on RER
mainly assemble proteins that are exported out of the cell.

33
Q

what are terminal ends

A

ends of branches in amylopectin and amylose

34
Q

what is a conjugated protein

A

a protein associated with a prosthetic group

35
Q

what is the enzyme called that digests proteins

A

pepsin

36
Q

how is pepsin stable in acidic conditions

A

only A FEW r-groups are basic and can ACCEPT H+ ions

37
Q

descibre the structure of insulin

A

2 polypeptide chains one is alpha helix and another beta pleated sheets

38
Q

how are electrons emitted for TEM and SEM

A

electrons fired from cathode are focused by magnets onto the screen.

39
Q

what microscopes give a black and white ‘image’

A

SEM andTEM

40
Q

descrube how a SEM works

A

scans an object point by point and assembles pixels onto computer

41
Q

what happens to membrane whrn increased temperature

A

increased temp = increased KE in phospholipids = increased vibrations

glycoproteins denature = increases pores within bilayer
= more fluid

42
Q

true or false alpha subunits and alpha helkix are 2 different tgings? where are they present?

A

alpha subunits - haemoglobin structure (along with beta subunits)
alpha helix is a secondary structure

43
Q

how to describe opposite direction monomers e.g in cellulose?

A

alternatively rotated

44
Q

why is it called a ‘fluid’ mosaic model?

A

fluid - lipid molecules can change places with each other and some of the proteins may move, giving fluidity

45
Q

why is it called a fluid ‘mosaic’ model?

A

model- made of a phospholipid bilayer witj proteins FLOATING in it
