starch
Polysaccharide
Polymer of glucose
Functions of Carbohydrates (2)
1. Source of energy (used or stored)
2. Provides structure
Types of lipids (4)
1. Fats and Oils
2. Waxes
3. Phospholipid
4. Sterols
Fats vs Oils
Fats=saturated (solid)
Oils=unsaturated (liquid)
Both: glycerol + 3 fatty acid tails
Waxes
Used to waterproof cells
Suberin (tree bark) and Cutin (leaf)
Phospholipids
Found in all membranes
Glycerol + phosphate group + 2 fatty acid tails
Proteins
Polymer of amino acids linked by a peptide bond (dehydration)
1. Structure
2. Controls chem reactions (enzymes)
Protein Structure
1. Primary: chain of amino acids
2. Secondary: alpha helix. Charges from amino acids form H-bonds
3. Tertiary: helix folds more to create 3-D shape. DETERMINES FXN!
4. Quaternary: found in some proteins, 3* bonded to another
Nucleic Acids
Polymer of nucleotides composed of:
1. Phosphate Group
2. Carbon sugar (C5H10O5)
3. Nitrogeneous Base
DNA Components
1. Phosphate group
2. C5H10O4 (missing an O)
3. Base: Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, Thymine
RNA Components
1. Phosphate group
2. C5H10O5 (normal)
3. Base: Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, Uracil
What bases bond together? What kind on bond?
A = T (double bond)
C = G/U (triple bond)
Who discovered the double helix?
Crick and Watson
Rosalind Franklin
x-ray crystallographs
Lision Pauling
Competed w/ Crick and Watson
Helicase
unzips DNA strand
DNA Polymerase
Forms new side to DNA strand after it is unzipped
Types of RNA
1. Ribosomel RNA
2. Messenger RNA
3. Transfer RNA
Protein Synthesis Prokaryotes
Transcription (DNA to RNA)
Transplation (assembles amino acids)
Protein Synthesis in Eukaryotes
1. Translation
2. RNA splicing (mRNA)
3. Translation
Meiosis
Division of the nucleus (diploid chromosomes divided into hapliod)
Haploid
1/2 of chromosomes (n=23 in humans)
Diploid
1 set of homologous pair of chromosomes (2n=46 in humans)
Syngamy
Fusion of two haploid (gamete) cells to form a zygote
Phases of Meiosis
1. Prophase I
2. Metaphase !
3. Anaphase I
4. Telophase I
5. repeat
Prophase I
Chromatin condenses into chromosomes
Nuclear envelope and nucleoli disappear
Chromosomes pair w/ homologous pair and undergo crossing over
When does crossing over occur?
Prophase I
Metaphase I
Spindle fibers from
Chromosomes line up in pairs (independent assortment)
When does independent assortment occur?
Metaphase I
Anaphase I
Spindle fibers pull chromosome pairs apart
Telophase I
Spindles disappear
Chromosomes unwind
Envelope appears
Synapsis
Pairing of homologous pairs
Allele
alternate forms of a gene for one trait
locus
gene's location on chromosome
Law of Unit Characters
Inherited traits are controlled by genes that occur in pairs (no blending theory)
Law of Dominance
One trait may be dominate and mask the other
Law of Segregation
Genes separate during sexual resulting in 1 gene from each parent. Zygote will have 1 from each.
Law of Independent Assortment
Genes are inherited independently of one another
What is the purpose of respiration?
To break down sugars into chemical energy in ATP
The equation for aerobic respiration
C6H12O6 +6O2 +36 ADP + 36Pi = 6CO2 +6 H2O +36 ATP + heat
Equation for Anaerobic Respiration
C6H12O6 + 2ADP + 2Pi = 2C2H5OH +2CO2 +2ATP + heat
What are the steps of Cellular Respiration?
1. Glycolysis. Glucose into pyruvate in cytoplasm. ATP is released
2. Krebs Cycle. Pyruvate enters mitochondria matrix and continues to break down. ATP is released.
3. Electron Transport Chain. Electrons enter mitochondria cristae. Attaches to O, which attracts to H, making H2O. ATP is released
What is the equation for Photosynthesis?
6 CO2 + 12 H2O = C6H12O6 + 6 O2 + 6 H20
Jan Baptista Van Helmont
Believed water and a gas made plants grow, not soil.
Joseph Priestley
Proved gas-exchange in bell-jar experiment
Jan Ingenhousz
Expanded Bell-jar experiment. Discovered plants need both light and chlorophyll
Purpose of Light Reaction
Turns light into ATP and NADP
Purpose of Dark Reactions
Uses ATP to fix carbon into glucose
Where do light reactions happen?
Thylakoid membranes
Where do dark reactions happen?
Stroma
