How is an enzymes activity altered?
- Binding of a competitive inhibitor
- Binding of a non-competitive inhibitor
- Change in temperature or pH away from optimal
- Saturation
*All of the above
The optimal temperature for all enzymes is body temperature.
False
A reduction of free energy means
Exergonic Reaction
Demonstrate conversion of chemical energy into kinetic energy
Wake up, eat breakfast, then go on a run.
All lipids:
- Do not dissolve well in water.
What type of molecule will diffuse most quickly?
- O2
Non polar, small
Fresh water fish in salt water?
cells lose water and crenate.
What do all cells have
Phospholipid bilayer cell membrane
What organelle are absent in plant cells?
- Centrioles
Where are enzymes responsible for the synthesis of cell membrane lipids located?
Smooth ER
Endosymbiosis theory organelles
Mitochondria and chloroplasts
Sickle-cell mutation location
- on exterior of protein making it hydrophobic and tries to get away from water
RNA/DNA differentiation
- DNA encodes hereditary info
- DNA forms double helices
- DNA contains Thymine, RNA contains Uracil
True of unsaturated fats
- Have a double bond between carbons
- Liquid at room temperature
What would happen if cell membrane was hydrophillic?
- it would dissolve and the cell would cease to exist
What domains have prokaryotic cells?
- Domain Bacteria and Archaea
Do prokaryotic cells have ribosomes?
Yes
Do plants have mitochondria?
Yes
Microtubules function in cell division
- Move chromosomes during cell division
Why are the tails in phospholipids hydrophobic
C and H bonded by non-polar covalent bonds
Plant membranes in cold V warm climates
- Cold weather plants have less saturated fats and more unsaturated fats in the membrane to keep fluidity up
Peripheral proteins are
Hydrophilic
What causes the phospholipid to be hydrophilic?
Phosphate group
Hypertonic solution w a hypotonic cell
Water exits(crenates) cell to solution
