Structure of DNA and RNA
DNA Replication, Transcription & Translation
100
Two hydrogen atoms covalently bonded to an oxygen atom
What is water made up of?
100
Glucose (dextrose), fructose (levulose), galactose
What are the monomers of carbohydrates (monosaccharides)?
100
Linked together by condensation to form polypeptides
What are amino acids?
100
The genetic material of the cell and are composed of recurring monomeric units called nucleotides.
What are nucleic acids?
100
Process in which one strand will be from the original template molecule and one strand will be newly synthesized
What is a semi-conservative process / What is DNA replication?
200
Cohesive, adhesive, thermal and solvent properties of water
What explains hydrogen bonding and dipolarity?
200
Sucrose, lactose; cellulose, starch
What are the polymers of carbohydrates (polysaccharides)?
200
Formed between the amine and carboxylic acid groups of adjacent amino acids
What are peptide bonds?
200
Stable double stranded form that stores the genetic blueprint for cells
What is DNA?
200
Unwinds the double helix and separates the two polynucleotide strands; does this by breaking the hydrogen bonds that exist between complementary base pairs
What is the helicase?
300
One substance is polar and can form intermolecular hydrogen bonds while the other is non-polar and can only form weak dispersion forces between its molecules.
What is the difference between water and methane?
300
Saturated, monounsaturated, polyunsaturated
What are the types of fatty acids?
300

Globular and fibrous

What are the conformation types of proteins?

300
More versatile single stranded form that transfers the genetic information for decoding
What is RNA?
300
Synthesizes new strands from the two parental template strands; cleaves the two excess phosphates and uses the energy released to link the nucleotide to the new strand
What is the DNA polymerase?
400
The ability of like molecules to stick together; explain water's surface tension
What are the cohesive properties of water?
400

Glycerol and 3 fatty acids

What is a triglyceride?

400
A structural change in a protein that results in the loss (usually permanent) of its biological properties.
What is denaturation?
400
One structure contains adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine, while the other structure contains adenine, guanine, cytosine and uracil.
What is the difference between DNA and RNA?
400
One process refers to the synthesis of mRNA from DNA with the help of the enzyme RNA polymerase while another process refers to the conversion of mRNA to a specific amino acid chain (polypeptide).
What is the difference between transcription and translation?
500

Dissolves polar molecules

What are the solvent properties of water?

500
Carbohydrates are easier to transport in the blood; property of a solid, liquid, or gaseous chemical substance called solute to dissolve in a solid, liquid, or gaseous solvent
What is solubility?
500
A component of the connective tissue of animals (most abundant protein in mammals).
What is collagen?
500

Ribose and Phosphate

What is the sugar phosphate backbone made up of in RNA?

500
The set of rules by which information encoded within mRNA sequences is converted into amino acid sequences (polypeptides) by living cells.
What is the genetic code?
