Q

What is the fourth principle of cell theory regarding genetic info?

A

Cells contain genetic information in the form of DNA, and that information is passed from parent to daughter cell

Q

List the basic properties of cells?

A
  • Cells are complex and organized
  • Cells contain genetic information (which is stored, used, and transmitted n the form of dna and rna
  • Cells acquire and use energy
  • Cells carry out an array of different chemical rxns
  • Cells are involved in mechanical activities (not static, they transport materials, move the whole cell, move material within the cell)
  • Cells respond to stimuli (via receptors)
  • Cells self regulate (maintain homeostasis through an organized set of molecular tools)
  • Cells evolve (all cells came from a common ancestral cell)
  • Cells reproduce by division

Q

What the main difference between prokaryotes and eukaryotes?

A

Eukaryotes have membrane bound organelles, prokaryotes don’t

17
Q

Do prokaryotes and eukaryotes differ in their plasma membranes construction?

A

no

18
Q

Is the genetic code the same for DNA in eukaroytes and prokaryotes?

A

yes

19
Q

What is in common between prokaryotes and eukaryotes?

A
  • Mechanisms for transcription and translation of genetic info
  • Similar ribosomes
  • Same metabolic pathways
    Similar apparatus for conservation of chemical energy as ATP
  • Similar mechanisms of photosynthesis
  • Proteasomes of similar structure
  • Cytoskeletal filaments built of proteins similar to actin and tublin
20
Q

What are differentiating features between prokaryotes and eukaryotes?

A
  • Division of cells into nucleus and cytoplasm
  • Complex chromosomes
  • Complex membranous cytoplasmic organelles
  • Complex cytoskeletal system
21
Q

What is a covalent bond?

A

A chemical bond in which electron shells are shared between two atoms- atoms are most stable when the outermost shell is full.

22
Q

What are polar (hydrophillic) molecules?

A

Molecules with an uneven distribution of charge because the atoms in it have differing electronegativities

23
Q

What are non polar (hydrophobic) molecules?

A

Molecules whose covalent bonds have a equal distributions of charge because the atoms in it have approx the same electronegativities

24
Q

What are the features of polar uncharged amino acids?

A

composed of C’s and H’s majorly, but has uncharged O and N

25
Q

What are the features of polar charged amino acids?

A

Have O’s and N’s w charges

26
Q

What are features of nonpolar amino acids?

A

Has only H and C in side chain

27
Q

What are the three type of noncovalent bonds?

A

A weak chemical bond based on attractive forces between oppositely charged regions

28
Q

What is an ionic bond?

A

Is attraction between groups of opposite charges, interact w polar water so weak in it

29
Q

What is an hydrogen bond?

A

interactions between H atom and second EN atom, involves a H bind donor, and acceptor
One is weak, many are strong ex: holds the double helix strand

30
Q

What is an an der Waals interaction?

A

A weak attractive force due to assymetrical charges within adjacent atoms or mlcls. ex: antibody recognize antigens through this

31
Q

What is the hydrophobic effect?

A

The tendency of nonpolar molecules to aggregate in order to minimize their interaction with polar water mlcls, is the basis for the formation of lipid bilayer membranes
