Identify two molecules that aid enzymes in controlling metabolic processes.
What is Cofactors and coenzymes.
200
Enzymes react with substrates at the _______ _______ to help regulate metabolic reactions.
What is Active site.
200
Where is the energy stored in a molecule of ATP?
What is the Phosphate bond.
200
What are the complimentary base-pairing rules?
What is A always bonds with T, C always bonds with G
200
What enzyme is responsible for mRNA synthesis in the nucleus?
What is RNA polymerase.
200
What two factors affect to rate of metabolic reactions?
What is the # of substrate molecules and the # of enzyme molecules
300
How does the rate-limiting enzyme help control metabolic pathways?
What is It is in limited supply; the amount of enzyme determines how many reactions occur.
300
Cellular respiration is considered an oxidation reaction because
What is high energy electrons are lost in the break down of molecules.
300
Differentiate between a gene and a genome.
What is Genes code particular proteins, the genome is ALL DNA in a cell
300
A gene that goes through both transcription and translation is said to be __________.
What is Expressed.
300
When does DNA replication take place?
What is During interphase of the cell cycle.
400
Dictate the word equation that represents the activity of enzymes in metabolic reactions.
What is Enzyme + substrate -> enzyme-substrate complex -> product + enzyme
400
Anaerobic respiration occurs in the _________, and aerobic respiration occurs in the __________.
What is Cytosol, mitochondria
400
Identify the 3 components of a nucleotide.
What is a sugar, a phosphate, and a nitrogenous base
400
Differentiate between the functions of mRNA and tRNA.
What is mRNA - responsible for moving genetic info into the cytoplasm, tRNA - matches appropriate amino acids with mRNA strand
400
How can you determine that an anabolic reaction has occured?
What is Chemical bonds have been created.
500
A water molecule is split and sucrose is broken down into molecules of glucose and fructose. This is an example of a __________ ___________ reaction.
What is Catabolic hydrolysis
500
The electron transport chain can generate approximately 32-34 molecules of ATP. What determines this number?
What is the number of high energy electrons lost during glycolysis and citric acid cycle.
500
Describe the 3 ways that DNA and RNA are different.
What is deoxyribose/ribose; thymine/uracil; double helix/single chain.
500
The parent strand of DNA for a specific gene reads AAT CCG TGC. What would the resulting tRNA anticodon read?
What is UUA GGC ACG.
500
How is DNA replicated?
What is Hydrogen bonds between nitrogenous bases break, DNA unwinds, and complimentary base-pairing creates two identical strands.
