Other exam 1 Flashcards
(18 cards)
- Describe the basics of cell differentiation – The insert of “The Human Perspective” is very cool to
read! (There will be questions over this too)
Cells differentiate into different types based on their environment- chemical signals, viruses, etc can change what type of cell a cell is, and they can even be reverte
Protein structural properties/atomic components
Protein packaging means
DNA/RNA structural properties/atomic components
Discuss the regulation of gene expression at transcriptional, post-transcriptional, and
translational levels.
.
Explain the basic principles of bioenergetics, focusing on changes in relation to energy curves,
how enzymes alter those curves, and how concentration gradients factor into values
ucture and function of proteins
- Explain the composition and properties of the phospholipid bilayer, including amphipathic
nature and fluidity, as well as all types of molecules found within the membranes.
- Describe the roles of membrane proteins in transport, signaling, and enzymatic activity.
Compare the structure and function of proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids.
- Discuss how lipid rafts contribute to membrane organization and signaling.
Some proteins bind to lipid rafts, others remain outside them.

describe
the chemical composition and function of nucleotides in DNA, RNA, and energy
metabolism
Describe how carbohydrate polymers function in energy storage, structural support, and cell
signaling.
Explain how protein structure determines function, including the role of primary, secondary,
tertiary, and quaternary structures.
Discuss the roles of lipids in membrane structure, energy storage, and signaling molecules.
Llipids make a phospholipid bilaryer
Protein primary structure
Amino acids joined by peptide bonds
Protein 2ndary structure
Protein tertiary structure
Protein quaternary structure
