DNA
What does DNA stand for?
Deoxyribonucleic acid
What does RNA stand for?
Ribonucleic acid
What are Carbohydrates?
A. Sugars
B. Fats
A -> Sugars
What is a protein?
A biomolecule.
Lipids are also known as what?
What is the function of DNA?
What is the function of RNA?
Gene translation and transportation.
What does the name CARBOHYDRATE tell us about these biomolecules?
That they are composed of Carbon atoms and a H2O ratio of Hydrogen and Oxygen molecules.
What monomer makes up all proteins?
Amino acids
What two parts make up a lipid?
Alcohol and fatty acid.
What monomer is DNA made up of?
Nucleotides
How many strands is RNA typically?
Single. (one)
What is the chemical formula for Glucose?
C6H12O6
Compared to the carbs and lipids, what element do proteins have extra?
Nitrogen
What does a phospolipid bylayer build?
Cell membranes.
What are the four Nitrogenous base pairs of DNA?
Adenine, Thymine, Guanine and Cytosine.
What are the four Nitrogenous base pairs of RNA?
Adenine, Uracil, Guanine, and Cytosine.
What shape do we see in the center of the glucose molecule?
A hexagon.
FALSE. Proteins are very diverse and have many different jobs.
Are Lipids more hydrophilic or hydrophobic on the grand scheme of things?
Hydrophobic.
Draw out a DNA ladder with at least two "rungs".
TDB. The drawing MUST include a phosphate, sugar and nitrogenous base that is linked to the proper pair nitrogen base that also has the sugar and phosphate. The bases MUST be labeled for credit.
How does RNA relate to protein synthesis?
It translates the genetic code and delivers it to ribosomes do they can produce proteins.
Are all Carbohydrates sugars?
No.
I can't think of another protein question so... Whoever draws the best picture in the next 30 seconds wins this round. GO!
TBD.
When a lipid is formed (alcohol + fatty acids) what molecule is produced during that chemical reaction?
Water -> H2O
