What is the complimentary pairs of A
T, and U if RNA
What is a gene
The DNA base sequence that codes for a single protein
What is glycolysis
10 step process that turns glucose into pyruvate
What is the Citric Acid Cycle
8 step process that completes the oxidation of carbon from glucose into CO2 and produces more ATP
What does 1 glucose produce
32 ATP product
What is mRNA
Messenger RNA: carries all codons for 1 protein
What is an anticodon
3 bases on tRNA that hydrogen bond to a mRNA codon
What is glycogenesis
The process in which excess glucose is converted into glycogen for storage
What is Lipogenesis
The synthesis of fatty acids
What does 1 triacylglyceride produce
324 ATP product
What is rRNA
Ribosomal RNA: large pieces of RNA that create scaffold on which the protein will be synthesized
What is Transcription
mRNA copy being made from a DNA gene
What is gluconeogenesis
The process of making new glucose molecules when all glucose supplies are gone
What is acidosis
Acidic blood pH which leads to reduced capacity to carry o2 around the body
What is insulin
The regulator that is released when glucose levels are high
What is tRNA
Transfer RNA: brings the right amino acid for each step
What is Translation
mRNA used to convert bases into amino acid sequences
What is glycogenolysis
The breakdown of glycogen back into glucose
What is Ketogenesis
Formation of ketone bodies
What is glucagon?
The regulator that is released when the glucose levels are low
What is a codon
3 bases of mRNA that correspond to one Amino acid
What is an Intron
Pieces of a copied gene that get cut out before the protein is made
What is Oxidative phosphorylation
The process that converts NADH + FADH2 into ATP
What is anabolic and catabolic
The two reactions that use and make energy
What is the critter that has musty toes
