Q

Mitochondria.

A

Where most of the reactions for respiration take place.

Respiration releases energy that the cell needs to work.

Q

Plasmid.

A

Small loops of extra DNA that aren’t part of the chromosome.

Contain genes like for things like drug resistance and can be passed between bacteria.

15
Q

When were light microscopes invented and what did they let us see?

A

1590s.

Nuclei, chloroplasts and mitochondria.

16
Q

When were electron microscopes invented and what did they let us see?

A

1930s
Smaller things in more detail like an internal structure of mitochondria and chloroplasts and even plasmids (much smaller).

17
Q

What is the formula for magnification?

A

Magnification= length of image divided by length of specimen.

18
Q

DNA molecule.

A

Two strands coiled together in the shape of a double helix.

19
Q

The structure of DNA.

A

The two strands are held together by chemical bases.

20
Q

What are the four bases.

A

A- adenine.
C- cytosine.
G- guanine.
T- thymine.

21
Q

Base pairings.

A

A-T

C-G

22
Q

What holds the base pairs together?

A

Weak hydrogen bonds.

On a sugar phosphate background.

23
Q

What is a gene?

A

Is a section of DNA, and a sequence of bases in a gene code for a specific protein.

24
Q

Franklin and Wilkins.

A

Worked out that DNA had a helical structure by directing beams of X-rays onto crystallised DNA and looking at the patterns the x rays formed as they bounced off.

25
Q

Watson and Crick.

A

Used the ideas, along with the knowledge that the amount of A and G matched the amount of T and C to make a model of the DNA molecule where all the pieces fitted together.

26
Q

DNA expirement

A

Explain

27
Q

PS- What do cells make?

A

Proteins by stringing amino acids together in a particular order.

28
Q

PS- what do three bases code for?

A

For a particular amino acid.

29
Q

PS- what does TAT code for.

A

GCA.
