Fears & Pet Peeves
This pneumonic device is often used to remember the transfer of electrons in Redox Reactions
What is OIL RIG
Often shortened to just their first letter, these bases can be identified by their double ring
What are Adenine and Guanine
This process contains four steps and produces 38 molecules of ATP
What is Metabolism (Aerobic respiration)
This theory states that replication and protein synthesis is unidirectional
What is the Central Dogma Theory
This enzyme is responsible for ensuring supercoils don't interfere with the formation of new strands
What is gyrase (topoisomerase)
This process breaks down organic matter to harvest energy in cellular respiration
What is Catabolism
This is a type of movement of nutrients that moves down the concentration gradient via carrier molecules and requires no energy
What is Facilitated Diffusion
This type of fermentation produces ethanol and CO2
What is Alcohol fermentation
This allows replication to be foolproof, ensuring one strand is always preserved during replication
What is Semiconservative
This enzyme is helpful when altering genetic material in a lab
What is Taq Polymerase
The process by which cells produce and store energy
What is Phosphorylation
A type of nutrient movement that requires energy and moves against the concentration gradient
What is Active Transport
Transcription begins when RNA polymerase binds to what
What is the promoter sequence
This example of an operon is one that stays off and is activated by the chemical allolactose
What is the lac operon
This form of an enzyme is considered to be the conjugated or active form
What is a holoenzyme
This protein contains hairpin loops and three anticodons that pair to corresponding codons
What is tRNA
These enzymes can break down large molecules to be transported across the cell membrane
What are Exoenzymes
This energy producing process involves an electron transport chain and occurs in the cell membrane of bacteria
What is Oxidative Phosphorylation
These three nucleotides signal the beginning of an RNA strand
What is the leading strand
This form of genetic material transmission requires direct contact via a pilus
What is Conjugation
This type of mutation affects only one base pair and usually causes no effect
What are Point Mutations
These two molecules are electron carriers and aid in ATP production
What are NAD+ (NADH) and FADH (FADH2)
This type of Operon is one that is usually on but can be switched off
What is a Repressible Operon
Responsible for adding bases to new DNA strands and proofreading, this enzyme was discovered later and often misplaced in the order it actually works
What is DNA Polymerase lll
