Q

Explain why the breakdown of H2O2 occurs in Peroxisomes

A

H2O2 is too toxic for cells

H2O2 produced in peroxisome is then degraded into H2O +O2

Gene transfer between host and endosymbiont

Many genes need by mito/ clr are nuclear encoded

sequences similarity b/w genes in nucleus (of plants and people) and cyanobacteria/ proteobacteria

  • Which suggest previous connection
33
Q

What is horizontal gene transfer?

A

Occurs when genetic information is passed “sideways” to a relatively unrelated organism (as opposed to a direct descendent).

A

able to detect bacteria using the receptors that are lined on it’s PM

35
Q

Describe the movement of neutrophil

A

The microfilament polarize to go toward bacterium

  • As bacterium move the strength of the receptors adjust according to the direction the receptor may have moved in
  • E to conduct this movement is taken from the mitochondria

After - Neutrophil is engulded by phagosomes that are linked to lysosomes which lyzed the bacterium

36

A

9.5%

40
Q

What is percent of Nitrogen in the human body?

A

41
Q

Why is there so much Oxygen in the human body

A

Because the ,ajority of out body is made of H2O and O makes up most of the weight of the molecule. Also most cells have 70% water

Most cellular rxns take place in an aq enviroment

Cells in the human body are typically surrounded by aq fluids

42
Q

Explain why certain elements are ‘reactive’. What makes them reactive? Explain the role played by valence electrons when determining reactivity.

A

Certain elements are more reactive because they have less valence electrons which will allow more electrons from other elements to fill in.

43
Q

Define Electronegativity

A

The affinity(Wanting/ giving) of an atom/ molecule for electrons

44
Q

Desribe the EN trend

A

Q

Covalent Bonds

A

Sharing of e-

46
Q

Polar covalent

A

electrons are no shared equally

47
Q

Why aren’t the electrons shared equally in a polar covalent bond?

A

Because atoms involved have unequal sharing due to EN difference btwn atoms

Inequality results in one part of a molecule being more negative than another part

Molecule thus has negative and positive poles like water

48
Q

Are polar molecules hydrophilic or hydrophobic

A

hydrophilic = water loving

SO it is water soluble

49
Q

Nonpolar molecules

A

electrons are equally shared

50
Q

why are nonpolar molecules equally shared ?

A

atoms involved gave relatively same EN values

No one part of the molecule is distinctly postive or negative - no poles

51
Q

are nonpolar molecules hydrophobic or hydrophilic?

A

hydrophobic = water fearing

SO IT IS NOT WATER SOLUBLE

52
Q

Ionic bond

A

formed through electrostatic between oppositely charged ions

Electrons are NOT shared

53
Q

What causes an ionic bond?

A

Due to attraction between…

an atom that has lost 1 or more e-

and an atom that has gained 1 or more e-

54
Q

H bonds

define and what atoms can it bond w/?

A

Forces between polar molecules

Can form between H and N

Specifically involves H bound to a more EN atom such AS N, O, F of another molecule

55
Q

Are the electrons shared in H bonds?

A

No H bonds are electrostatic interaction between dipoles

56
Q

London Dispersion Forces

A

Temporary attractive force

  1. Found in all molecules
  2. Weakest of all forces
  3. Result when electrons in 2 adjacent atoms occupy positions that make the atoms form temporary dipoles b/c constant movements
57
Q

Differentiate between a carboxylic acid and a carboxylate. Which one is protonated? Which one is charged?

A

Left is protanates

Right is unprotonated

58

61
Q

Why are lipids not considered polymers?

A

Lipids are different from other macromolecules b/c

not formed by the same type of linear polymerizations as proteins, nucleic acids and polysaccharides

However they are still considered a macromolecule due to their high molecular weight and importance in cellular structures

*particularly membranes

join together monosaccharides via condesation to form a glycosidic bond

74
Q

Glyscosidic bond

A

type of covalent bond that joins a carbohydrate molecule

*another group may or may not be another carbohydrate

→ when joined to lipid = glycolipid

→ when joined to protein = glycoprotein

Linkage identified by the carbon # of each monomer unit

EX: C1 of first monomer joined to C4 of second monomer = 1→ 4 glycosidic linkage

75
Q

A

a carbohydrate whose molecules consist of a number os sugar molecules bonded together

76
Q

Monosaccharides can exists as…

A

linear chains or rings

Rings are more energitically favorable; more stable

Rings acan exists in alpha or beta form

77
Q

Explain the difference between an alpha and a beta isomer.

A

Alpha - -OH on same side of ring

Beta- -OH on opposite side of ring

78

All glucose subunits are oriented in the same direction

Tends to form loose helical structures eg - starch/ glycogen

79
Q

Beta glucose

A
