Question | Answer |
---|---|
aerobic and anaerobic respiration: what kind of metabolism? | chemoorganoheterotrophs |
1st decarboxylation in carbohydrate metabolism | pyruvate-> acetyl coA |
what is made from 1 glucose in TCA? | 8 nadh, 2 fadh, 2 gtp (2 pyruvates) |
1 NADH yields (aerobic respiration) | 3 ATP |
1 FADH2 yields (aerobic respiration) | 2 ATP |
where is bacterial ETC? | cell membrane |
cytochrome | proteins that carry Fe that undergo redox rxns |
why more ATP from NADH than FADH2? | NADH has a more positive redox potential |
1 NADH/ 1 FADH2 yields (anaerobic respiration) | <3, <2 |
fermentation | glycolysis only, oxidize NADH, reduce an organic electron acceptor, forms about 2 ATP |
light reactions | light energy trapped, converted to chemical energy |
dark reactions | ATP and NADPH are used to fix CO2 into glucose, (ATP= energy; NADPH= electrons) |
chemolithoautotrophy | ETC only; use energy to drive biosynthesis; electrons passed to more positive acceptors |
aerobic respiration donor and acceptor | organic material, O2 |
anaerobic respiration donor and acceptor | organic material, inorganic & not O2 |
fermentation donor and acceptor | organic material, pyruvate/derivative |
aerobic chemolithotrophy donor and acceptor | inorganic material, O2 |
anaerobic chemolithotrophy donor and acceptor | inorganic material, inorganic & not O2 |
purine | double ring |
pyrimidine | single ring |
2 H bonds (DNA/RNA) | A and T / A and U |
3 H bonds (DNA/RNA) | C and G |
DNA in eukaryotes | organized in nucleosomes, wrapped around histone proteins |
4 substrates in DNA replication | dATP, dGTP, dCTP, dTTP; two phosphates for each to form phosphodiester bond |
unwinding enzymes | helicase and topoisomerase |
what keeps DNA unwound? | single stranded DNA binding proteins |
major DNA synthesis enzyme | DNA Pol III |
requirements of DNA Pol III | needs a template, primer, deoxynucleotide triphosphates |
produces 1-5 bp primer than DNA pol III uses to initiate DNA replication | primase |
repair enzyme in DNA replication; removes RNA primer, adds back complementary DNA nucleotides | DNA Pol I |
joins free ends of DNA strands by forming phosphodiester bonds | DNA ligase |
proofreading done in DNA replication by | DNA pol I and DNA pol III |
gene definition | a DNA sequence that encodes for a functional product |
DNA is read... | 3'-5' |
mRNA or DNA is synthesized | 5'-3' |
how is prokaryotic transcription/translation different that eukaryotic? (6) | polycistronic, no poly A tail/ 5' cap, shine-dalgarno sequence, only one rna pol, translation starts while transcription still going (both in cytoplasm), no splicing |
introns/exons, which stays and which is removed? | introns removed |
differential splicing allows for | a single gene to code for >1 protein |
how many sense codons? | 61 (includes AUG... Met) |
code degeneracy | up to 6 different codons for 1 AA |
how many AAs? | 20 (that are found in proteins) |
what stops translation? | releasing factors bind to stop codon, peptidyl transferase cleaves peptide from tRNA, then ribosome dissociates |
how many ATPs for each AA? | 3 |
spontaneous mutation | occur w/out cause or exposure to an external agent (errors in DNA replication) |
induced mutation | caused by a mutagen |
mutagen | physical or chemical agent that increases the frequency of mutations by 1000 fold |
point mutations (definition) | single base change (1 codon) |
silent mutation | change in triplet code, but codes for the same AA |
neutral mutation | changes the amino acid, but not protein function (determined by assay) |
missence mutation | changes an amino acid & does affect protein function (determined by assay) |
nonsense mutation | change to a termination codon (must also run assay!) |
frameshift mutation | addition or deletion that changes the rest of the protein |
chemical mutagens (3) | base analogs, DNA modifying agents, intercalating agents |
base analogs | similar to bases; get incorporated into DNA |
base analog example | bromouracil- gets incorporated into DNA in place of T; will BP with A or G |
DNA modifying agents | mutagens that change a base's structure which changes its base-pairing behavior or specificity |
DNA modifying agent example | alkalyating agent- adds CH3 to O on guanine, then will pair with T |
intercalating agents | gets in-between bases and causes distortions in DNA (frameshift mutations) |
physical mutagens (2) | uv and x-rays |
x-rays result in what? | single and double-stranded breaks in DNA- results in lethal deletions |
auxotroph | a mutant that differs from parent in one trait (cannot grow on minimal media) |
prototroph | wild type; can grow on minimal media |
ames test | uses rate of reversion to determine if a chemical causes mutations above background |
two controls for ames test | -: auxotroph w/out mutation +:auxotroph w/ known mutagen |
which 2 bacteria used for ames/what is missing? | E. coli, Salmonella; missing histidine |
how to find induced mutagens | total cfu's-background=induced mutagens |
how to find mutant frequency | #revertants/backgound= mutant frequency |
mutagen definition | >2 mutant frequency= mutagen |
photoreactivation | UV light causes thymine dimer repair enzymes to be produced |
severely damaged DNA, no template left to copy for excision repair: | recombination repair, SOS repair |
4 ways mutations can lead to antibiotic resistance | 70s ribosome changes to antibiotics can't bind, inhibit antibiotic import, alternate metabolic pathway, antibiotic efflux pumps |
a single pyruvate molecule that feeds into aerobic respiration will produce ___ substrate-level P in glycolysis; and ___ substrate level in TCA | 0; 1 |
one a bacteria removes the nitrogen from a 3 carbon AA, this will feed into anaerobic respiration as | 1 pyruvate |
24-carbon fatty acid, how many NADH produced? | 11 beta oxidation; (3 x 12 TCA) = 47 |
you mutate transcription termination sequence of a bacterium- what is likely true? | unable to form stem loop |
NADPH in photosynthesis does what? | donates electrons to CO2 to make organic material |
1 glucose= how many ATP from oxidative phosphorylation? | 38-4 substrate level= 34 |
primase is | DNA dependent RNA polymerase |
