BIOL 3450 Lecture 1: 07 January - Chapter 1 - Introduction to Cell Biology
Document Summary
Identify 3 major domains of cellular life and how they differ in cellular structure and composition. Begin to map out what you learn to be able to understand complex phenomena such as cancer. Chloroplast line is incorrect animals, fungi don"t have chloroplasts. Eukaryota, archaea, bacteria: focusing on eukaryota animals, plants. Explain chemistry concepts: bonds, stereochemistry, electronegativity, solvation, free energy. Explain relationships between g, keq, and use them to predict equilibrium concentrations, directions of reactions. Calculate ph given pka and ion concentration. Identify and describe 4 different types of macromolecular structures (proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, and carbohydrates), their subunits, bonds involved in their polymerization, and the bonds and interactions that affect their structure and conformation. Identify structures of different classes of lipids and predict their efforts on membrane properties. Explain basic carbohydrate structural concepts such as anomeric carbon, difference between alpha and beta glyosidic bonds. Explain how enzymes work and interpret or draw energy diagrams.
