When three phosphate molecules are forced together with hydrogen bonds

Semiconservative replication

DNA splits apart, keeps old DNA adds new half of DNA to old

Glycosidic linkages (alpha and beta)

Bond of lipids

Ester linkages

Cholesterol

Makes cell walls les perméable and stiffer

Bilayer

Polar ends and nonpolar center

Isotonic

Water moves freely back and forth, concentration is equal

Hypertonic solution

Water leaves cell (think of sea water)

Hypotonic solution

Water enters cell

In hypotonic human and plant

In humans the cell would explode but a plant cell had cell walls so instead it expands

De polarization

Ions having the same number of ions inside the cell as outside the cell

Electrochemical gradient

The desired movement of the ions in out of the cell

Amphopathic

Polar on one end and nonpolar on the other end

Fluid mosaic

The amphopathic particles in the bilayer are free to move around in the membrane

Ionic bond

Form between a metal and a non-metal by transferring electrons

Covalent bond

Form between two non-metals by sharing electrons

What is polarity in covalent bonds?

Polarity refers to whether electrons ate shared equally (nonpolar) or unequally (polar) and is caused by electronegativity

How does polarity lead to hydrogen bond formation?

The electrons are shared equally between the two hydrogen atoms but they are held much more tightly than other atom bonds due to electronegativity

Prevalence of water

75% of a cell's volume is water

Waters polarity and why is a good solvent

Hydrogen bonding makes it possible for almost any charged or pillar molecule to dissolve in water

Waters heat capacity

Water has a high heat capacity because when energy hits it hydrogen bonds must first be broken before heat can be transferred

Définition of hydrophilic and examples

Can dissolve in water


Soap, salt, sodium hydroxide

Définition of hydrophobic and examples

Does not dissolve in water


Oil, fat, grease

What are the 3 major components of an amino acid

Amino group, carboxyl group, R group

How many levels of folding are required for protein functioning and what bonds make each level possible

4


Polypeptide

What and how does dénaturation occur by adding heart and acidity to proteins?

The unfolding of proteins by breaking hydrogen bonds

What role do enzymes play in chemical reactions

They bring the reactants together so they react and it decreases the amount of energy needed in the reaction

What are the two types of enzyme régulation

Alosteric and phosphorylation

What are the 3 pieces of nucleotides

Phosphate group


5-carbon sugar


Nitrogenous base

What are the 4 bases in DNA

Adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine

What are the 4 bases in RNA

Adenine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil

What allows the base parties in nucleic acids to link up

Hydrogen bonds

What are the structural differences between DNA and RNA and how do they allow RNA to be a better catalyst

DNA has a double helix making it practically impossible to get to the inside information while RNA has a single Helix which makes for easy access to its information

What is the significance of the directionality of the sugar phosphate Backbone in nucleic acids

They have to be antiparallel to form the double helix

What aspects of DNA cause it to form the characteristic double helix

It is antiparallel they form purine pyrimidine pairs and their bases are complementary

What is a ribozyme

An RNA strand that acts like an enzyme

How does the structure of ATP make it such a high energy molecule

The three phosphates are opposing each other but the bonds keeping them together are stronger meaning they have a massive amount of energy once these bonds are broken that energy is released and the phosphate separate

List the three main functions of carbohydrates

Immediate energy stored energy and digestive regulation

How does Pentoses differ from hexoses

Pentose has a five-carbon hexose has a six carbon

Distinguish between alpha glucose and beta glucose

In alpha glucose they are pointed in the same direction and beta glucose they are flipped

What is the structure function and location of starch

Alpha glucose energy storage in plant cells

What is the structure function and location of glycogen

Alpha glucose energy storage in human liver and muscles

What is the structure function and location of cellulose

Beta glucose major component of plant cell walls

What is the structure function and location of chitin

Beta glucose steffens the cell walls of fungi

What is the structure function and location of peptidoglycan

Beta glucose forms bacterial cell walls

How do you starch and glycogen

Starch has one or two helices and glycogen has many

What type of carbohydrates are we unable to digest and why

Beta glucose because water is excluded and the fibers are insoluble

During photosynthesis atoms are rearranged to form sugars we say that result in carbon carbon and carbon to hydrogen bonds have a lot of free energy why

The electrons are shared equally giving them a higher potential energy

What is the function of amylase

Breaking down starch

What is the function of phosphorylase

Breaking down glycogen

What is the structure of triglycerides and phospholipids

In triglycerides are made up of glycerol and Three fatty acids phospholipids are made up of phosphate and Three fatty acids their bonds are Ester linkages

Are fats polar or nonpolar

Nonpolar

Are phospholipids polar or non-polar in do they form a bilayer

Polar and yes they form a bilayer

Are steroids nonpolar polar or amphipathic

Amphipathic

Why do we say that fats store more energy than carbohydrates

Because they have less oxygen and require more oxidation which produces more energy

What is the difference between saturated and unsaturated fatty acid

If hydrocarbon chains have only single bonds they are saturated if they have one or more double bonds they are unsaturated

Explain the fluid mosaic model

The hydrophilic ends are outside then there is the bilayer in some protein span the whole membrane

What three factors influence the permeability of the cell membrane

Channels carriers and pumps

Distinguish between transmembrane and peripheral proteins what are their functions and what is the function of cholesterol and the glycoproteins in the cell membrane

Transmembrane span the membrane in and out of the cell as well peripheral attached to them without going through the bilayer cholesterol reduces permeability

What is the difference between passive and active transport which one requires energy and why

Passive is a long an electrochemical gradient and active goes against it it requires energy

Distinguish between diffusion and osmosis

Diffusion the solute to even out and in osmosis the water tries to even out the concentration

Distinguish between the facilitator diffusion of ions in the facilitated diffusion of sugar

Distinguish between the facilitated diffusion of ions in the active transport of ions

In diffusion ions cross membranes via ion channels active transport these cells move the eye on against the electrochemical gradient

Distinguish between gated and carrier transmembrane proteins

Jaded opens like a gate and carrier is ba A protein that changes shape during the transport

What happens to a cell when it is placed in isotonic hypotonic hypertonic Solutions is this due to movement of water or the solute

Isotonic stays the same hypotonic explodes hypertonic decreases and it is all due to the movement of water
