Which stage does cell get commited to cell cycle
G1
Which phase does cell have enough geneomic material to undergo mitosis?
S
What happens when replciation is inhibited
Cell can’t proceed with cell cycle
What force drives metabolic pathways
Electromagnetism
What are 3 properties of steroid receptors
Small, diffuse through membrane interact with nuclear receptors
Which steps in pathways are most often highly regulated
Highly energetically favourable or unfavourable
What breaks proteins down in stomach
Proteases
Does gabriel synthesis involve decarboxylation or carboxylation
decarboxylation
In disulfide bond formation are cysteine residues oxidized or reduced
oxidized
What secondary structure misfolding causes amyloid fibres
beta sheets
where do allosteric regulators act
only away from active site
why is Mg an important cofactor
stabilizes phosphate as transfers to glucose
how do allosteric regulators increase enzyme activity
by altering tertiary structure
what is the effect of a competative inhibitor on vmax and km
km increases no effect on Vmax
What is the relationship between Km and substrate concentration
equal
What is the bottleneck effect
when population allele frequencies change in response to a random decrease in population size due to external events
what is parallel evolution
two species with a recent common ancestor evolve a similar trait
what are characteristics of germ positive
thick wall outer membrane absent
what is positive sense viruses
type ssRNA have to be reverse transcribed
In the ETC do the oxidation or reduction potentials increase as electrons move to next
reduction
What are substrates for gluconeogensis
protein lipid lactate
what does the commited step do
prevents diversion of substrate into another pathway
What are found in mitochondrial matrix
citric acid enzymes and ribosomes
What are 2 features about mitochondria
2 lipid bilayers, cristae
