Document Summary

Mcb 3020 exam one study guide (cover 95% q on exam!: define cell, microbe and list hallmarks of cell. Cell: cell membrane, able to replicate, control flow of chem across membrane, dna as genetic material. Viruse protein capsid, nucleic acid as rna or dna, no cell membrane1. List the ones present in each of the four polymers. List and define major chemical bonds used to connect biological molecules: explain the role of water in biological activities. Where they are found in the cell, and the type of bonds hold their monomers together: define folding and denaturation of protein molecules. List different levels of protein folding process and list the chemical bonds involved in each level: list different microscopes used to view microbes. Compare light and electron microscopy, and briefly describe their significance/importance in viewing objects. Give an example: describe different form of stains; acidic, basic, negative, positive, different kind of staining procedures; simple, differential, and structural staining procedures.
