What is the difference between Deoxyribose and Ribose sugars?
Deoxyribose doesn't have an oxygen on the 2' carbon.
This element has 2 paired and 1 unpaired electron in its 3rd shell.
Phosphorus
These may be inserted into the cell membrane to moderate the fluidity of the cell.
Cholesterol
This increases surface area in the golgi apparatus and mitochondria.

Plasmodesmata
What kind of bond holds the Deoxyriboses together? What properties does this bond bring to DNA?
Phosphodiester bond
resistance to pH and temperature changes
This enzyme is highly accurate as there is not pre check for mistakes in the strand its working on.
RNA polymerase
You take a jar of fat out of the fridge and leave it on the counter for several hours, when you come back the fat is still solid, what kind of fat can you assume is in the jar?

If a substance is ionic will it dissolve in water?
Yes, ionic and polar molecules will dissolve
A DNA sequence codes for a Na/K pump for keeping the cell in a isotonic state. What pathway would the strand follow to reach its destination as a protein?
Nucleus -->Rough ER --> Golgi --> Plasma Membrane with vesicles in between
What is the complementary DNA sequence to
5'-ACCTGATAGGTTTTTG-3'
3'-TGGACTATCCAAAAAC-5'
The poly(A) Tail provides protects mRNA from degradation when attached to the 3' end. Given that mRNA is read 5' ---> 3' during transcription what is the other role of the Poly(A) Tail?
Transcription termination
acts as stop sequence

Predict the pH of a solution with a H+ concentration of 10^-4 M?
pH = 4
If a cell receptor is meant to stick out of the cell membrane when embedded, would the receptor face toward the lumen (inward) in the ER or out of the lumen (outward)?
Inward
What base would pair with this base?![]()
Guanine
The breaking of this bond releases enough energy to add a ribonucleotide to the 3' end of RNA.
Phosphate bond
