DNA Structure
The shape of a DNA molecule
What is a double helix?
The site of DNA replication within the cell.
What is the nucleus?
Enzymes are made of
What is protien?
Makes up the backbone of DNA.
What is sugar and phosphate?
The second step of DNA replication.
What is elongation?
The molecule that enzymes bind to.
What is substrate?
The building block of a DNA molecule.
What is a nucleotide?
The enzyme that glues the Okazaki fragments on the lagging strand.
What is DNA ligase?
The specific location on an enzyme that allows it to bind to other molecules.
What is the active site?
Plant cells have a larger version of this organelle that stores water.
What is a vacuole?
The co-discoverers of the shape of DNA (published a one-page paper)
Who is Watson and Crick?
The enzyme that operates BEFORE DNA polymerase to lay a foundation.
What is DNA primase?
A model of enzyme activity that describes the enzyme and substrate fitting perfectly together.
What is the lock-and-key model?
What is homeostasis?
The type of sugar found in DNA.
What is deoxyribose?
The term used to describe the fact that DNA replication results in one strand of old DNA and one strand of new DNA in each of the resulting molecules.
What is semi-conservative?
The model of enzyme activity that describes an enzyme changing shape to fit more closely with the substrate.
What is the induced fit model?
The organelle that fine-tunes proteins and ships them off to other parts of the cell.
What is the golgi apparatus/body?
