Molecular Biology
Explain the purpose of molecular biology
What is "to explain the living processes in terms of the chemical substances involved?"
Building blocks of proteins are formed during the process known as translation, with 20 different versions
What are amino acids?
A double-helix made of two antiparallel strands of nucleotides linked by hydrogen bonding between complementary base pairs
What is DNA?
The process of taking genetic information from mRNA and turn it into an amino acid chain
What is translation?
6CO2+6H2O → C6H12O6+6O2
What is the chemical formula for photosynthesis?
This is the 15th most abundant element of planet Earth and is fundamental to all living things
What is carbon?
The three types of carbohydrates
What are monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides?
What is semi-conservative replication?
This process is used to produce direct copies of DNA into RNA
What is transcription (the purpose of transcription)?
This is the chemical formula for cellular respiration
What is C6H12O6+6O2 → 6CO2+6H2O ?
These are the three types of bonds that can exist between molecules
What are covalent, ionic, and hydrogen bonds?
Enzymes can be denatured in these two main ways
What are pH imbalances and temperature changes?
What are hydrogen bonds?
An enzyme that separates the DNA strands during DNA replication
What is Helicase?
The effects of temperature on photosynthesis
What is "faster photosynthesis at higher temperatures, with the possibility of enzyme denaturation?" (Must say something along those lines.)
This is the web of all the enzyme-catalyzed reactions in a cell or organism
What is metabolism?
The four nitrogenous bases that are a part of every nucleotide in a DNA’s nucleic acid
What are guanine, cytosine, thymine, and adenine?
Explain the relationship between DNA and RNA
What is "the nucleic acids of DNA and RNA are polymers of nucleotides?" (Or something along the lines of relating their molecular structures to one another.)
An enzyme that creates complementary strands. It moves in opposite directions of the strands.
What is DNA Polymerase?
This kind of light is absorbed by chlorophyll most effectively, and this color is most reflected
What is wavelengths of light containing energy for photolysis and green?
A simple H group, Central carbon atom, Carboxyl group, Amine group, and an R group are the components of this macromolecule vital to life on earth.
What is an amino acid? (What are amino acids?)
These types of fatty acids have more than one double bond
What are polyunsaturated fatty acids?
DNA polymerase uses this as a template for creating complementary strands.
What is the pre-existing strand of DNA?
Each base can only pair with its partner- A with T and G with C.
What are complementary bases? (What is the way in which bases pair together in DNA replication?)
Explain how Oxygen is produced as a product of photosynthesis
What is "when water is split, the hydrogen produces glucose by there is a waste gas of oxygen that is excreted from the process of photolysis?" (Also acceptable: What is "as a waste product of photolysis?")
