Q

primary structure of protein

A

the sequence of amino acids

21
Q

secondary structure of protein

A

hydrogen bonds form between folded peptide forming alpha helix and beta pleated sheets

22
Q

amorphous regions

A

within secondary structure still within a chain no shape

23
Q

tertiary protein structure

A

precise threodimensionl structure with hydrogen bonds, ionic bonds, disulphite bonds, van Der woals forces

24
Q

what bonds are broken by tempreture

A

van der waal’s, hydrogen

25
what bonds are broken by reducing agents
disulphide
26
what are iconic bonds broken by
change in PH
27
Quaterny structure
multiple polypeptides joined in one protein
28
variables effecting enzyme activity
enzyme concentration, substrate concentration, ph, temperature
29
what do enzymes do
lower the activation energy
30
substrates have a complementary shape to what
the active site
31
lock and key model
proposed that the enzyme and substrate fit together perfectly
32
induced fit model
when an enzyme and substrate come together there interaction causes a small shift in the enzymes structure
33
competitive inhibitors
chemicals that slow down the rate or stop the reaction
34
non- competitive inhibitors
binds to somewhere else on the enzyme
35
allostretic site
place where non competitive inhibitor binds too
36
intraspecefic competition
when individuals of the same species compete for resources
37
interspecific competition
when individuals of different species compete for resources
38
random sampling
compare two areas
39
transect sampling
looking for change in organisms over a certain distance
40
capture mark recapture equation
total on first X total on second / recaptured on second
54
Gene
A section of dna that contains coded information for making proteins & RNA
55
Degenerate
Most amino acids are coded for by more than one triplet
56
Non overlapping
Each base in the sequence is only read once
57
Universal
Each triplet codes for the same amino acid in all organisms
58
MRNA
single helix strand | RNA qualities
59
TRNA
Single stranded chain folded into a clover shape anticodon loop held together by hydrogen bonds between specific base pairs Has anticodon and amino acid binding site
60
Pre- mRNA
Contains introns which need to be removed
61
Deletion or addition mutation
Lead to frame shift will effect polypeptide
62
Substitution
May or may not affect the polypeptide but only effects one amino acid
