exam. 1 Flashcards
telomeres
DNA at the end of chromosomes to prevent and coded DNA from being taken off
peroxisome
gets rid of hydrogen peroxide and other harmful chemicals in a cell
4 aspects of membrane permeability
- length of hydrocarbon tail
- cholesterol
- temperature
- saturation of hydrocarbon tail
length of tail and permeability
longer tail, less permeable
temperature and permeability
higher temp, more permeable
cholesterol and permeability
more cholesterol, less permeable
saturation and permeability
more saturation, less permeable
helicase
enzyme that unzips DNA
topoisomerase
relieves tension as a cell is being unwinded
ssbps
protein that attach to separated strands of DNA during replication to prevent from re forming double helix (single strand binding protein)
primase
synthesizes RNA primer and attaches it to the DNA strand
DNA polymerase 111
synthesizes new DNA only in the 5’ to 3’ direction
DNA polymerase 1
removes the RNA primer and replaces it with DNA
ligase
binds osaki fragments after replication
amino acid
building block of protein
cell wall
rigid protective barrier of cellulose
PLANT CELL ONLY
shape
outside membrane
cell membrane
outer protective covering of ALL cells
allow food, water, oxygen, into cell and waste out of cell
recognize signals from other cells
lysosome
contain digestive enzymes that get rid of waste
only animal cells have
lysosome and centrioles
only plant cells have
chloroplast and vacuoles
puradines
guanine and adenine
pyrimidines
thymine and cytosine
amphapathic
polar head, non polar tail
hydrophilic
attracted to water
