Cellular Respiration
What is the end product of glycolysis?
Pyruvate
The RNA sequence always looks like which strand of DNA?
Coding strand
What are the 3 post-transcriptional processing events?
Polyadenylation, Splicing, 5' Capping
Where in the cell is the 1st molecule of carbon dioxide produced?
Matrix of the Mitochondria
What does it mean for the genetic code to be degenerate?
More than 1 codon codes for the same amino acid.
What are the 3 different point mutations?
Silent, Missense, Nonsense
In the electron transport chain, what molecule gives an electron?
NADH
Consider this mRNA strand:
5' - UC AUG AAA AUC CUC CGU GG - 3'
What would the coding strand look like?
5' - TC ATG AAA ATC CTC CGT GG - 3'
Which RNA molecule has the amino acid attached to it?
tRNA
What is the full name of the key regulatory enzyme in cell respiration?
Phosphofructokinase (PFU)
Consider this mRNA strand:
5' - UC AUG AAA AUC CUC CGU GG - 3'
What would the template of the DNA look like?
3' - AC TAC TTT TAG GCA CC - 5'
Where does the process of tRNA attaching anti-codons to the new strand happen? Which organelle?

How does PFU get turned off?
When there is a high concentration of ATP.
Consider this coding strand of DNA:
3' - ATG GGG TAC CCC ATT CAA - 5'
What would the mRNA look like?
3' - AUG GGG UAC CCC AUU CAA - 5'
Why do we have introns?
To allow for alternate splicing & create novel/new genes quickly.
