Central Dogma of Molecular Biology
DNA--->RNA (transcription)
RNA--->Proteins (translation)
These cause changes in DNA, resulting in different proteins
Mutations
Who discovered the cell?
Robert Hook, believing they resembled the rooms monks live in in monasteries
Cell Theory
1. All living things are made of cells.
2. The cell is the smallest functional unit of life.
3. Cells come from pre-existing cells.
Cells without a nucleus
Prokaryotes
Most diverse class of cells
Prokaryotes
What are the bacteria we encounter on a daily basis?
Eubacteria
What are the bacteria that live in extreme environments called?
Archaebacteria
Cells that contain a nucleus
Eukaryotes
Mitochondria
Cellular Respiration
Theory that a bacteria was taken into the cell through endocytosis, forming a membrane-bound vesicle
Endosymbiotic theory
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Used to make membrane-bound proteins or synthesize lipids
Golgi Apparatus
Receives proteins/lipids from ER, modifies, and sends to destination.
Lysosome
Intracellular digestion
Peroxisome
Reactions using hydrogen peroxide take place here
Cytosol
Everything excluding nucleus and organelles
Order smallest to largest, of proteins forming the cytoskeleton
Actin<Intermediate<Microtubules
Actin
Aids movement
Microtubules
Transport, chromosome division
Intermediate
Support and framework
Types of Non-Covalent Bonds
Hydrophobic, Ionic, Hydrogen, Van der Waals forces

Monosaccharides
Monomer of Lipids
Fatty Acids
Monomer of Proteins
Amino Acids
Monomer of Nucleic Acids
Nucleotides
Pentoses
5-Carbon sugars
Hexoses
6-Carbon Sugars
What type of bond connects monosaccharides?
Glycosidic bond
What connects amino acids?
Peptide bond linkage
Purines
Adenine, Guanine (Pure As Gold)
Anabolic Metabolism
Requires energy (i.e monomers--->polymers
2nd Law of Thermodynamics
In the universe or any isolated systems, the degree of disorder (entropy) can only increase
Entropy Example
An egg-- random molecules form an organized embryo, chemical energy is converted to heat, releasing heat to increase entropy
1st Law of Thermodynamics
Energy can be converted from one form to another but never destroyed
Light-Dependent Reactions
Using solar energy, Oxygen is generated
Carbon Fixation
Chemical energy is used to form organic molecules
Equation for Photosynthesis
Light+CO2+H20--->Sugars+O2+
heat
Equation for Respiration
Sugars+O2--->Co2+H20+chem energy+heat
Controlled burning
Extraction of energy from food, gradual oxidation
Free energy depends on
Difference if free energy of reactants and products; concentration of reactants and products
Chemical Equilibrium
no net change in concentration of products and reactants
Steps of the breakdown of simple subunits to Acetyl CoA
Glycolysis
Glucose(6C)--->2Pyruvate(3C)
Oxidation of Pyruvate to Acetyl CoA Pyruvate--->Acetyl CoA
Steps of complete oxidation of Acetyl CoA to Co2 and H20
Krebs Cycle- generates NADH, FADH2, and GTP
Electron Transport Chain using NADH and FADH2
ATP Synthase- energy from electron transport generates atp synthesis
energy is derived from
carbs, proteins, fats
5 Carbon Sugars
Ribose, Deoxyribose
6 Carbon Sugars
Glucose, Fructose, Galactose
