DNA
The sugar that is part of DNA
What is deoxyribose?
The sugar that is found in RNA
What is Ribose?
Translation of RNA to protein happens here
What is a Ribosome?
These are the building blocks of proteins.
What are amino acids?
What are the four types of macromolecules?
Lipids, proteins, carbohydrates, nucleic acids
The 4 nitrogen bases of DNA
What are Adenine, Thymine, Guanine, and Cytosine?
The sequence of nucleotide bases on mRNA that would complement the following bases on DNA: A T T C G C A G T
What is U A A G C G U C A
DNA is copied into a strand of RNA during this step of protein synthesis.
What is Transcription?
The bonds that link amino acids together.
What are peptide bonds?
Monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides are all examples of this?
Carbohydrates
Two things that happen in the nucleus involving DNA
What are DNA Replication and Transcription?
The full names for the three different types of RNA
What are messenger RNA, transfer RNA and ribosomal RNA?
Anticodons and amino acids are found on this molecule.
What is transfer RNA?
These special types of proteins help to unzip DNA and match up complementary nucleotide bases during DNA replication and protein synthesis.
Hint: Helicase and polymerase
What are enzymes?
Explain induced fit.
The active site of an enzyme changes itself to fit the substrate.
The three parts of the DNA nucleotide (building block)
What are deoxyribose sugar, phosphate group and nitrogen base?
The names of the 4 nitrogen bases of RNA.
What are Adenine, Cytosine, Guanine and Uracil?
Groups of three bases on a mRNA molecule
What is a codon?
Explain DNA base pairing.
Adenine pairs with thymine
Guanine pairs with cytosine
How are enzymes named?
They are named based off of the substrate they bind to (Ex: Lactase binds with lactose)
Replicate this DNA sequence: TAT AGG CAT
ATA TCC GTA
Two differences between the STRUCTURE of RNA and DNA.
What is DNA is double stranded and RNA is single stranded? What is RNA has RIbose and DNA has Deoxyribose? What is RNA has the base Uracil and DNA has the base Thymine?
This is the anticodon for CAG
What is GUC?
The name for long chains of amino acids that form during protein synthesis.
What are polypeptides?
Where in the body can amylase be found?
In saliva, in the mouth
