Question
Answer
What is the function of mRNA   carries a complementary copy of the genetic code from nucleus to ribosome  
🗑
What is the function of the ribosome   Site of protein Synthesis  
🗑
What is the function of tRNA   Transports amino acids to the ribosome  
🗑
What is a codon   3 bases on mRNA that codes for a specific amino acid  
🗑
What is the name of the hydrogen carrier in aerobic respiration   NAD  
🗑
What are the 3 stages of Aerobic Respiration   Glycolysis Citric Acid Cycle Electron Transport Chain  
🗑
What are the "raw materials" for aerobic respiration   Glucose and Oxygen  
🗑
Where does Glycolysis take place   Cytoplasm  
🗑
Where would you find an anti-codon   On tRNA  
🗑
What is ATP made from   ADP + Pi  
🗑
Name 4 things required for DNA Replication   DNA template DNA Nucleotides Primers DNA polymerase Ligase ATP  
🗑
What base is present in DNA but absent in RNA   Thymine  
🗑
Why is DNA replication said to be "semi-conservative"   because each daughter DNA molecule contains one strand of the original DNA molecule  
🗑
What are the 2 Products of fermentation in animal cells   Lactic Acid and ATP  
🗑
What is transcription   DNA to mRNA  
🗑
Where does translation take place   ribosome  
🗑
What is translation   mRNA to protein  
🗑
Where does transcription take place   Nucleus  
🗑
Where does RNA splicing take place?   Nucleus  
🗑
What are primers   Short strands of nucleotides that bind to the 3' end of the TEMPLATE strand and allow DNA polymerase to add nucleotides using complimentary base pairing.  
🗑
What is the role of ATP in the energy investment phase?   It is used to phosphorylate glucose and its intermediates.  
🗑
What is the role of DNA polymerase?   It adds nucleotides using complementary base pairing to the 3' end of the NEW STRAND forming.  
🗑
What are the 2 co-enzymes involved in Aerobic respiration?   Co-enzyme A and NAD  
🗑
How can you distinguish a non-competitive inhibitor from a competitive inhibitor experimentally.   non-competitive inhibition is NOT affected by increasing the substrate concentration.  
🗑
Why does DNA replication result in a lag-strand   Because DNA polymerase can only add nucleotides in one direction.  
🗑
What are non-coding regions of the primary transcript called?   Introns  
🗑
What is "induced-fit".   When the substrate joins an active site it triggers a change in the shape of the active site resulting in a better fit.  
🗑
What 2 substances react together to form citrate in the citric acid cycle.   Oxaloacetate and an acetyl group.  
🗑
How does cancer develop   When cells fail to listen to regulatory signals and divide excessively to form a mass of cells called a tumour.  
🗑
What cells are pluripotent?   Embryonic stem cells  
🗑
What are primers in PCR   Short strands of nucleotides that are complementary to the specific target sequences at the 2 sides of the region of DNA to be amplified.  
🗑
What is cellular differentiation?   This is the process whereby cells express certain genes to produce proteins characteristic for that cell type.  
🗑
What type of gene mutation results in a premature stop codon   (Substitution) nonsense  
🗑
What is feedback inhibition?   When the end product in a metabolic pathway reaches a critical concentration and then inhibits an enzyme earlier on in the pathway thus preventing further production of the end product.  
🗑
What is the problem with chromosome mutations?   The substantial changes are often lethal.  
🗑
What are anabolic reactions?   smaller molecules to bigger molecules and require energy.  
🗑
What is the role of dehydrogenase enzymes.   Remove hydrogen ions and electrons and pass them on to coenzyme NAD forming NADH.  
🗑
Where does the citric acid cycle take place?   Matrix of mitochondria  
🗑
What is released as Citrate breaks back down to oxaloacetate?   ATP, NADH and carbon dioxide  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
