Water
The property of water that allows small insects to walk across water created by water molecules being attracted to each other.
What is surface tension?
CHNOPS
The rule that states A=T and C=G.
What is Chargaff's rule?
A genetic message(mRNA) made in the nucleus of Eukaryotic cells from 1 strand of DNA as a template to put the genetic code to work.
What is transcription?
Nature's catalyst.
What are enzymes?
What are hydrogen bonds?
The backbone of organic molecules has 4 valence electrons allowing it to bond with itself and other elements creating long chains and rings.
What is carbon?
Nitrogen base, phosphate group and deoxyribose sugar
What are the 3 parts of a nucleotide?
Using the mRNA message from the DNA the ribosome reads the message to create a specific protein.
What is translation?
The energy needed to get a reaction started.
What is the activation energy?
The chemical bond between 2 non-metals such as hydrogen and oxygen creating water.
What is a covalent bond?
The part of DNA that codes for the genetic message.
What is the Nitrogen base?
A set if 3 bases on a mRNA strand that is translated into 1 specific amino acid.
What is a codon?
The part of the enzyme that the substrate molecules bind to undergo a chemical reaction.
The property of water that allows water to travel from the ground to the top of a tree.
What is capillary action?
This macromolecule is used for long term energy storage and hormone signals.
What are lipids?
Watson and Crick built a 3D model with the help of Rosalind Franklin's X-ray picture showing the 2 strands of the molecule running anti-parallel in a distinct shape.
What is the double helix model?
A chain of amino acids put together based on the DNA code that was transcribed and translated for a specific job/signal.
What are proteins?
The enzyme's shape has changed due to exposure to non-optimal conditions.
What is denatured?
The oxygen of the water molecule carries a negative charge where the 2 hydrogen atoms have a more positive charge due to the electrons spending more time around the oxygen atom.
What is polarity?
This macromolecule is for short burst of energy.
What are carbohydrates?
Using Chargaff's rule DNA's corresponding strand:
ATCTTG
What is TAGAAC?
tRNA carrying the amino acid attaches to the corresponding bases of the mRNA codon.
What are anticodons?
Enzymes depend on their shape for proper function therefore needing body temperature of 98.6 and proper pH (depending where in the body).
What is optimal condition?
