100
Watson and Crick
Who discovered the structure of DNA
100
When enzymes are irreversibly altered by certain conditions
What is the meaning of Denaturation
100
They interfere with the active site so that the substrate cannot bind to the enzyme.
How to 'Competitive inhibitors' work?
100
Adenosine triphosphate
What is ATP or produced by the breakdown of organic compounds?

Explained by Hydrogen bonding
Why is water cohesive, adhesive and has special thermal and solvent properties
200
Complementary base pairing
What is the rule that bases follow in bonding with one another
200
Temperature, pH and substrate concentration.
What factors effect the activity of enzymes?
200
The synthesis of polypeptides on ribosomes
What is Translation
200
The production of lactate and 2 mols of ATP in the cytoplasm in mammals.
What is anaerobic respiration?
300
Water loving
What is 'hydrophilic'.
300
The experiments of Meselson and Stahl
Which scientists conducted the experiment that provided evidence that DNA underwent semi-conservative replication?
300
Anabolism
What do we call the synthesis of complex molecules from simple molecules
300
The triplet code
What is the codon of three bases that correspond to one amino acid in a polypeptide?
300
The link reaction
When pyruvate is converted into acytyl coenzyme A.
400
Lactose-intolerant (detailed)
What do we call someone that can not convert lactose (in milk) into glucose and galactose (which are sweeter than lactose)
400
The method used to obtain multiple copies of DNA
What is the 'polymerase chain reaction'?
400
End-product inhibition
What do we call the process by which enzymes are inhibited by the end-product of a metabolic pathway
400
5' to 3' direction
What is the direction of replication (the DNA polymerases can only add nucleotides to the 3' end of a primer)
400
To produce reduced NADH to supply energy to the electron transport chain.
What is the main role of the Citric Acid cycle?
500
Unsaturated cis-fatty acids (three parts)
Which fatty acids healthier, have a double bond, and have a bend in the hydrocarbon chain at the double bond because all the hydrogen's are on one side.
500
The 'sense' strand of DNA
What is the strand of DNA which will have the same base sequence as mRNA
500
They bind at a location other than the active site to inhibit the enzyme.
How does a non-competitive inhibitor work?
500
Variable Tandem repeats
What are the short nucleotide sequences that are repeated in individual DNA and is the basis of DNA profiling.
500
The chemiosmotic theory. (complete)
What is the hypothesis that Peter Mitchell proposed to explain how protons (H+) diffuse through the mitochondrial membrane (from the inner membrane space to the matrix) to produce ATP, via ATP Synthase.
