Cards

Term
tRNA
Definition
transfers code from mRNA
Term
Anti-Codon
Definition
Forms base pair with mRNA codon
Term
Wobble Hypothesis
Definition
Flexibility in base pairing allowing more amino to be coded for with small chains
Term
What are the three steps of protein synthesis by Ribosomes?
Definition
1.tRNA anti-codons bind to the mRNA codon inside the Ribosome at A

2. Peptide bond forms between tRNA and growing peptide chain at P

3. tRNA exits ribosome
Term
Transcriptional Control
Definition
Prevent creation of mRNA
Term
Translational Control
Definition
Shorten mRNA lifespan, affect translation initiation, affect elongation factors
Term
Post-Translational Control
Definition
Prevent the activation of the Protein
Term
Functions of Proteins
Definition
Catalysis, Defense, Movement, Signals, Structure, Transport
Term
Primary Structure of Polypeptide
Definition
Unique sequence of amino acids
Term
Secondary Structure of Polypeptide
Definition
Hydrogen bonding between peptide backbone

Alpha-helix
Beta-pleated sheets
Term
Tertiary
Definition
Interaction between the R-groups and the polypeptide back bone

Hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic interaction, Van Der Waals interaction, covalent bonds, ionic bons
Term
Quaternary Structure
Definition
Interaction of several polypeptides
Term
Chromasome
Definition
DNA molecule and some proteins
Term
Nucleoid
Definition
Location of Chromasome
Term
Plasmid
Definition
DNA molecules independent of Nucleoid, often containing unnecessary info.
Term
Cytoskeleton
Definition
Structural Fibers
Term
Nucleus
Definition
Enclosed by Plasma membrane. Inside the Nucleaolus manufactures RNA and assembles Ribosomes
Term
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
Definition
Synthesizes Proteins
Term
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulm
Definition
Contains enzymes that catalyze reactions with lipids, manufactures phosoplipids, and also contain calcium ions
Term
Golgi Apparatus
Definition
Receives and packages proteins in vesicles
Term
Cytoplasm
Definition
Everything contained within the membrane, excluding the nucleus
Term
Cytosol
Definition
The fluid portion of the cytoplasm
Term
Peroxisome
Definition
Center for oxidation reactions
Term
Lysome
Definition
Digestive Center
Term
Autophagy
Definition
Damaged organelles are surrounded by a membrane and sent to the lysosome
Term
Phagocytosis
Definition
Food particle, bacterium, etc. is surrounded by a membrane and sent to the lysosome
Term
Receptor-mediated endocystosis
Definition
Proteins outsise the cell bind to macromolecules. The plasma membrane surrounds these macromolecules and pulls it inside, forming the early endosome. These are then transformed into new lysosomes.
Term
Vacuoles
Definition
Storage areas for various things
Term
Mitochondria
Definition
Create energy (ATP)
Term
Micelles
Definition
Spherical, unilayered lipids with the hydrophilic head facing outward
Term
Lipid Bilayer
Definition
Two aligned sheets of lipids, with hydrophilic heads facing outward and hydrophobic tails facing inwards.
Term
Hypertonic
Definition
Area outside cell is lower in concentration
Term
Hypotonic
Definition
Area outside cell is higher in concentration
Term
Isotonic
Definition
Area outside cell equal
Term
