DNA’s Nucleotides
Adenine, Cytosine, Guanine, Thymine
Phosphodiester bonds
link nucleotides into a polynucleotide between the 5’ phosphate group and the 3’ carbon residue
Central Dogma

DNA to RNA to protein: Dna will dictate the RNA in a process called transcription, RNA will dictate the DNA in a process called translation, These processes are called the central dogma

Oxidoreductoases
oxidation-reduction
Transferases
transfer group of atoms
Hydrolases
hydrolysis
Lyases
add/remove atoms to/from a double bond
Isomerases
rearrange atoms
Ligases

combine molecules using ATP

Sodium-Potassium Pump
pump 3 NA+ out of the cell and pump 2 K+ into the cell, the result of the NA+-K+ pump is to generate a concentration gradient with more NA+ outside of the cell than inside - Nerve cells have a lot of sodium-potassium pumps
Exocytosis
(exit out of the cell) vesicle fuses with plasma membrane as secretion occurs, membrane of vesicle becomes part of the plasma membrane, substances expelled into extracellular environment
Endocytosis
(enter into the cell) cells take in substance by vesical formation
Passages of Molecules into and out of the cell
Diffusion, Facilitated transport, active transport, exocytosis, endocytosis
Diffusion
the net movement of molecules from an area of higher to lower concentration, the solution contains a solute and a solvent
Osmosis
diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane, always down the concentration gradient
Components of the plasma membrane
phospholipids, cholesterol (acts as the antifreeze)
Cytoplasm
comprises the contents of a cell between the plasma membrane and the nuclear envelope
Double membrane organelles
Mitochondria, Nucleus, Chloroplasts
Cytosol
provides the fluid medium necessary for biochemical reactions
Organelle
membrane-enclosed bodies in the cell, each performing a unique function
Chromosome
DNA packaged into segments and associated with protein
Chromatin
when the cell is not dividing, the chromosomes exist as threadlike strands called chromatin
Ribosomes
The cell builds proteins on these structures
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
dedicated to protein synthesis
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
aids in the manufacture of carbohydrates and lipids
Golgi Bodies
Function to collect, package, and distribute molecules manufactured in the cell
Lysosomes
contain enzymes that the cell uses to break down macromolecules
Mitochondria
responsible for making adenosine triphosphate (ATP), sites for chemical reactions called oxidative metabolism
Chloroplasts
sites of photosynthesis
Chemical Equation of Photosynthesis (words)
solar energy + carbon dioxide + water -> carbohydrate + oxygen
Chemical Equation for Cellular Respiration (words)
carbohydrate + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water + energy
Peroxisomes
specific for breaking down hydrogen peroxide
Central vacuole
stores water and dissolved substances
Protein fibers
intermediate filaments, microtubules, microfilaments
Intermediate Filaments
thick ropes of intertwined protein
Microtubules
hollow tubes made up of the protein tubulin
Microfilaments
long, slender microfilaments made up of the protein actin
Cytoskeleton
anchors organelles to fixed locations, supports the shape of the cell, helps organize ribosomes and enzymes needed for synthesis activities
Prokaryotes
cells do not possess a nucleus

Eukaryotes

“true nucleus” - found in all multicellular organisms today

Law 1 of Thermodynamics
“law of conservation of energy” - the total amount of energy in the universe remains constant, energy can change from one state to another but it can never be created or destroyed, during the energy conversions, some of the energy is lost as heat energy
Law 2 of Thermodynamics
The amount of disorder, or entropy, in the universe is increasing. Every energy transformation makes the universe less organized and more disordered
