Q

Steps of DNA transcription

A
  • DNA uncoils at site of gene to expose gene base sequence

- RNA strand is formed, using code on DNA template to add completmentary RNA nucleotides

Q

Steps of translation

A
  • mRNA associates with ribosomes.
  • transfer RNA (tRNA) with specific aa and anticodon binds to matching RNA
  • peptide bond is formed to attach aa to growing peptide chain

Q

After translation..

A
  • proteins produced on free ribosomes released into cytosol go to nucleus or mitochondria
  • proteins produced by ribosomes on ER (RER) released into ER lumen

16
Q

Proteins produced in RER are..

A

modified by addition of sugars (glycoprotein) and transferred to golgi complex

17
Q

Golgi complex further modifies protein by

A

carb changes and lipid additions

18
Q

Golgi complex packages ..

A

modified proteins and send to destination: cell membrane, secretion and lysosomes

19
Q

Lysosome

A

membrane bound organelles containing digestive enzymes (breaks down enzymes)

20
Q

Enzymes names end in..

21
Q

Enzymes

A

increase reaction rates, not used up in reaction, very sensitive to pH, temp. are specific and synthesis controlled by cell proteins

22
Q

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP)

A

adenine + ribose + 3 phosphates. energy is stored in phosphate bonds (covalent). little is stored so constantly made

23
Q

Energy produced from ATP is used..

A

for reactions like protein synthesis, active membrane transport, muscle contractions, etc

24
Q

Cellular respiration

A

production of ATP using glucose.

25
Glucose enters most cells by..
facilitated transport (may be higher in some cells by insulin)
26
Overall equation for cellular respiration
1 glucose (C6H12O6) + 6 oxygen --> 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + 32 (max) ATP + heat
27
Steps of cellular respiration
- glycolysis (anaerobic) - enters mitochondria (aerobic) - krebs cycle - Electron transport chain
28
In the body glycogen -->
glucose to ATP
29
In the body proteins..
some aa can be converted to pyretic acid or enter krebs cycle. depending on body need may form new glucose or ATP
30
In the body fats..
primary store form of energy in the body. broken down to form acetyl CoA to ATP
