Q

Tertiary structure

A

Coiling and folding back onto themselves

20
Q

Quarternary structure

A

Looks like tertiary with more folding

Ex collagen and hemoglobin

21
Q

Cofactors

A

Ions or vitamins that bind to enzymes to make them functional

22
Q

DNA

A

Located exclusively in the nucleus and holds codes for proteins only

23
Q

RNA

A

Makes a copy of DNA and synthesizes proteins
Located in nucleus and cytoplasm
Single strand

24
Q

DNA

A

Holds our genetic code
Located only in the nucleus
2 stands

25
What are the 3 types of RNA and where are the located
mRNA (messenger) synthesis in nucleus and comes out into cytoplasm tRNA (transfer) cytoplasm rRNA (ribosomal) cytoplasm
26
Nitrogenous base pairing in DNA
Adenine- thymine | Guanine- cytosine
27
Nitrogenous pairing with RNA
Adenine-uracil | Guanine- cytosine
28
Exocytosis
The process of releasing a synthesized product
29
Nucleus
Contains DNA | Function: genetic code
30
ER
Protein synthesis in rough ER and protein modification
31
Golgi apparatus
Transport and lipid synthesis
32
Mitochondria
ATP synthesis
33
Centrisome/ centrioles
Cell division
34
Ribosomes
Protein making structures
35
Cell membrane
Protection and semi permeability
36
Villi
Increase surface area
37
Cilia
Usually one or two | Function is movement
38
Flagella
Just one, function is movement
39
Cytoplasm
Jello like mass in cell
40
Nucleoli
Most active part of nucleus | DNA is folded very tightly with help of histones
41
Chromatin
DNA together with histones
42
Chromosomes
Chromatin folded together
43
Cytoskeleton
Microfilaments Intermediate filaments Microtubules Structural proteins for shape and strength
44
Cytoplasm
Intercellular fluid | High in potassium and low in sodium
45
Transcription
The process of making mRNA using DNA as a template
46
Translation
Process where proteins are synthesized using mRNA as a template in the cytoplasm
