MISC
All the biochemical reactions that take place within the organism to allow life to be sustained
What is metabolism?
The nucleotides of DNA
What are thymine, cytosine, adenine, and guanine
These are put together to make proteins, carried by tRNA
What are amino acids?
Agonists
Drugs that act to increase neural transmission
One of the things RNA does is copy the code from DNA and then act as a go-between DNA and this structure that puts the amino acids together
What is a ribosome?
A DNA strand is held together by these
What are hydrogen bonds?
The nucleotides of RNA
What are guanine, cytosine, uracil, and adenine
What is the ribosome?
The region on a strand of DNA that codes for proteins
What is a gene/exon?
Nucleotide
What is a phosphate, base, and a deoxyribose sugar?
Where transcription takes place
What is the nucleus?
The type of RNA that formed on one side of DNA during transcription
What is messenger RNA?
The central dogma of science
What is translation?
The DNA molecule, histones and protein scaffold are called this
What is chromatin?
Ionotropic receptor
What is the receptor protein in the postsynaptic membrane which opens directly and rapidly when the correct neurotransmitter molecule binds with it
What an anticodon is made up of
What is tRNA?
Translation
What is the process which a protein is formed from an mRNA template
The 3 ways RNA is different from DNA
What are RNA is single stranded, the sugar is ribose, and uracil replaces thymine?
What are 23 pairs of chromosomes?
Glial cells
What a codon is made up of
What is mRNA?
tRNA
What is a molecule that adds an amino acid to a chain of amino acids?
This copies the coded message from the DNA in the nucleus and carries it into the cytoplasm
What is mRNA?
The Dutch Hunger Winter is a type of *this* effect
What is the combination of PSP's occurring simultaneously at different locations on the dendrite and soma
