BIOL 1107 Study Guide - Midterm Guide: Chromatin Remodeling, Semiconservative Replication, Deoxyribose
Document Summary
Cell structure and function: introduction to metabolism & cellular. Gene structure and function: the cell cycle. Gene structure and expression: dna, gene synthesis and repair. Energy for cells: all life uses atp as a form of energy, only plants can use light energy as a source, glucose is used for potential energy and electrons found in the chemical bonds o. Enzymes put together the phosphate groups which have an increase in kinetic energy once it"s released due to the initial bond tension: hydrolyze atp to release the energy o. Each electron transferred from one molecule to another during a redox reaction is usually accompanied by a proton (h+) The reduced molecule gains a proton and has a higher potential energy. The oxidized molecules lose a proton and has lower potential energy: nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (nad) is reduced to form nadh, nadh readily donates electrons to other molecules and is called an electron carrier and has reducing power.
