Inner Membrane of Mitochondria associated with?
Electron Transport Chain
Peroxisomes utilize what specific enzyme?
Catalase
Peroxisome location?
Liver, Macrophages, Neutrophils
Function of Microfilaments
Muscle contraction, Structural Integrity, needed for Endocytosis
3 Examples of Intermediate Filaments
- Keratin (Epithelial Cells)
- Neurofilaments (Nerve Tissue)
- Vimentin (Fibroblasts, Glial Cells, Muscle Cells)
Function of Tubulin
Locomotion of Cilia and Flagella, Chromosomal Movement, Vesicle Transport, Secretion
What direction is DNA read?
3’-5’
How many Amino Acids does each codon code for?
1
What is the start Anticodon?
UAC
What is the start codon?
AUG (Methionine)
What happens when the stop code is reached in Transcription?
Hairpin Loop is created in mRNA allowing it to dissociate.
What initiates Transcription?
RNA Polymerase binds to and unwinds the DNA
What direction is RNA created?
5’-3’
Where is the Anticodon located?
tRNA
How is tRNA activated?
Aminoacyl tRNA Synthase attaches the AA to it (requires ATP)
What happens in Termination stage of Translation?
Stop codon is reaches, release factor binds, protein is now free (requires energy)
What does the Signal Recognition Particle recognize?
A signal that comes from the first 20-30 AA added on the chain
Where is the Signal Recognition Particle located?
ER
