Q

What is the difference between free and attached ribosomes?

A

Free ribosome are in the cytoplasm while attached ribosomes are anchored to the endoplasmic reticulum. Free ribosomes produce proteins that remain in the cytosol while attached ribosomes produce proteins that may be exported from the cell

Q

Light independent reactions

A

Can take place at night, not energy harvesting, captures CO2 (anabolism)

24
Q

Fredic Griffith

A

Vacine for phmona; discovered that even after viruses were dead their DNA could still be harvested

25
Q

M. Williams & R. Franklin

A

used x-rays to look at chromosomes: found a chromosome was long & thin and uniform, DNA was helical, repressing subuints

26
Q

Watson & Crick

A

Provided theory for structure of DNA

27
Q

Purines

A

A&C: Dual rings (always bonds with single rings)

28
Q

Pyrimadines

A

T&G: Single rings always bind with double)

29
Q

Anti-Parallel fashion:

A

Each side of the later of DNA was 5’ to 3’ bases

30
Q

DNA replication

A

Needs: parental strand, free nucleotides and variety of enzymes to unwind and synthesize new strands

31
Q

DNA Gyrase:

A

Unwinds the parental strand of DNA

32
Q

DNA Polymerase

A

Synthesizes new DNA: moves along each separate rung matching the old parental strand with complementary bases; polymerase always moves away from 3 (OH and free sugar) end to 5 (free phosphate) end. 3 to 5 on the daughter strand

33
Q

3’ end

A

has free nucleotide, or hydroxyl group (OH)

34
Q

5’ end

A

free phosphate and nucleotide

35
Q

DNA Helicase:

A

Separates parental strands, breaks hydrogen bonds, creates replication bubble, one fork at each end

36
Q

DNA Ligase:

A

Sews together missing pieces, ties DNA together

37
Q

Order of replications

A

Gyrase-Helicase-RNA primase-DNA Polymerase-RNA Exonuclase-DNA Polymerase-Ligase

38
Q

Translocation

A

One chunk of DNA is removed and placed somewhere else

39
Q

Inversion

A

DNA segment is flipped around

40
Q

RNA Primase:

A

Only can synthesize strands of DNA

41
Q

RNA Exonuclase:

A

an co-enzyme with polymerse

42
Q

mRNA

A

Messenger RNA: The base sequences care the information to create amino acid sequencing of proteins, each is three nucleotide bases wide called a codon, which represent different amino acids. Also, bind things together into an amino acid squence which creates proteins.

A

Transfer RNA: carries specific amino acids to a ribosome during protein synthesis
