What are the 2 basic kinds of nucleic acids?

A

1) DNA

2) RNA

35
Q

What does DNA stand for?

A

Deoxyribonucleic Acid

36
Q

What does RNA stand for?

A

Ribonucleic Acid

37
Q

What is the monomers of the nucleic acid group?

A

Nucleotides

38
Q

What does the structure of nucleotides have?

A

5 carbon sugars in the center—spine
Phosphate————————spine
Nitrogenous base

39
Q

What is Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)?

A

The energy cells use

Energy currency of the cell

40
Q

When the last phosphate of the ATP molecule is blown off what does the molecule become?

A

Adenosine Diphosphate (ADP)

41
Q

What does Pi stand for?

A

Inorganic Phosphate

42
Q

What are the 2 basic types of nitrogenous base?

A

Purines

Pyrimidines

43
Q

What does purines consist of?

A

Adenine (A)

Guamine (G)

44
Q

What does Pyrimidines consist of?

A

Cytosine (C)

Thymine (T)—IN DNA ONLY

Uracil (U)—IN RNA ONLY

45
Q

What are the 3 basic types of RNA?

A

1) Messenger RNA (mRNA)
2) Transfer RNA (tRNA)
3) Ribosomal RNA (rRNA)

46
Q

What is the complementary based pair in RNA?

47
Q

What are the complementary based pairs in DNA?

48
Q

What are complementary based pairs made of?

A

Purine-Pyrimidines

49
Q

What is the dissociation of a protein?

A

Occurs in the quaternary structure

Subunits come apart but DO NOT unravel

Can be repaired

50
Q

In order to function the DNA molecule needs to be able to do what?

A

Make copies of itself

51
Q

What does DNA give you?

A

You’re genetic code

52
Q

What is a daughter cell?

A

They are genetically identical clones of a molecule

53
Q

What is the Seniconservative Synthesis/ Duplication of DNA?

A

When DNA is duplicated

54
Q

What is a ribozyme?

A

RNA acting as an enzyme

Made of RNA instead of protein

55
Q

What is the process of cellular respiration with oxygen called?

A

Aerobic Respiration

56
Q

What is the process called between glucose and pyruvic acid (pyruvate)?

A

Glycolysis- breaking sugar down

57
Q

How many ATPs do you start with?

58
Q

How many ATPs do you have left after glycolysis?

59
Q

After the Pyruvic acid what step is next?

A

Kreb’s cycle or citric acid cycle

60
Q

What happens in the kreb’s cycle or citric acid cycle?

A

Pyruvic acid—-> Acetyl CoA

Acetyl CoA and Oxaloacetate—> citrate—-> ——> ——> ——-> oxaloacetate

61
Q

What is CoA?

A

Coenzyme A

62
Q

What results out of the Kreb’s cycle?

A

2 more ATPs and the carbon dioxide you exhale

63
Q

What does NAD and FAD do?

A

They gather excited electrons into the electron transport chain

They are coenzymes

64
Q

What are coenzymes?

A

Little partners that help assist the enzymes

65
Q

After the NAD and FAD harvest electrons what happens?

A

The electrons keep switching partners to something more and more electronegative

Until they go to the most electronegative thing which is oxygen

66
Q

What goes into the electron transport chain?

A

Oxygen

Without oxygen the chain would shut down and would take the Kreb’s cycle with it

67
Q

What is the result of the electron transport chain?

A

H2O (waste)

34 ATPs

68
Q

The kreb’s cycle and electron transport chain happens where?

A

Mitochondria

69
Q

What is NADH and FADH?

A

NAD and FAD carrying excited electrons

To move an electron you need a proton and 1 proton and 1 electron is Hydrogen aka H

70
Q

What does NAD stand for?

A

Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide

71
Q

What does FAD stand for?

A

Flavine Adenine Dinucleotide

72
Q

What is the process of cell respiration without oxygen?

A

Anaerobic respiration or Fermentation

73
Q

Why do cells switch to anaerobic respiration or fermentation?

A

Because they are deprived of oxygen and when oxygen is available they switch back

74
Q

What does Pyruvic acid (pyruvate) become in the anaerobic respiration or fermentation process?

A

Lactic acid- waste product of this cycle

75
Q

Where does NAD/ NADH bring the excited electrons?

A

No place of use

76
Q

The anaerobic respiration or fermentation process is the top part of the aerobic respiration cycle with what added?

A

Carbon dioxide

77
Q

What type of microb does the process of fermentation and what do they make?

A

Yeast

Instead of making lactic acid they make ethanol of ethyl alcohol
