Question | Answer |
---|---|
The order of bases in DNA determines order of... | amino acids |
enzymes are made of | protein |
What is the function of hormones | chemical messengers |
what protein defends the body against disease | antibodies |
what protein speeds up chemical reactions | enzymes |
a ring of genetic material in a bacteria is a | plasmid |
enzymes are also called this | biological catalysts |
breaks down H2O2 to oxygen and water | catalase |
breaks down protein to amino acids | pepsin |
breaks down starch to maltose | amylase |
breaks down fats to fatty acid and glycerol | lipase |
DNA and mRNA are made of | nucleotides |
enzyme reactions work best at the | optimum |
where an enzyme binds with a substrate | active site |
this happens to enzymes at high temperatures | denatures |
enzyme involved In a synthesis reaction | phosphorylase |
enzymes only work on one substrate, they are | specific |
carries genetic code from nucleus to the ribosome | mRNA |
where protein synthesis occurs | Ribosome |
base partner of A | T |
base partner of T | A |
base partner of G | C |
base partner of C | G |
where AEROBIC respiration occurs | mitochondria |
process to transfer human genes to bacteria | genetic engineering |
modified plasmids are placed here | a different bacteria cell |
human hormone produced by genetic engineering | insulin |
genetic information can pass between bacteria this way | horizontal gene transfer i.e. plasmids transferred between bacteria |
What is the enzyme that breaks down fat | lipase |
What is the enzyme that breaks down protein | pepsin |
What is the enzyme that breaks down starch | amylase |
What is the enzyme that breaks down hydrogen peroxide | catalase |
what is the enzyme that makes starch | phosphorylase |
what is the enzyme that makes amino acids | pepsin |
What does catalase reacting with hydrogen peroxide produce | water and oxygen |
what does amylase reacting with starch produce | maltose |
Name a degrading enzyme | catalase OR amylase OR pepsin OR lipase |
what is the optimum pH for catalase | 9 (alkali) |
What is the optimum pH for pepsin | 3 (acid) |
What two products does lipase reacting with fat produce | fatty acids and glycerol |
what are the three parts to a DNA nucleotide | sugar, phosphate and base |
What is the 3D structure of DNA called | double helix |
What does DNA code for | protein |
Where is DNA found | nucleus |
What is the journey of a mRNA molecule when it carries the genetic code | nucleus to ribosome |
What two effects does the order of amino acids cause | the structure and therefore the function of the protein |
Name 4 types of proteins | antibodies, enzymes, receptors, hormones and structural proteins |
what is the function of structural proteins | to provide support in membrane |
what is the function of receptors | to bind with a specific hormone at the target tissue |
what structures on chromosomes code for a specific protein | genes |
what is meant by complementary bases | A and T, C and G |
Name a differences between DNA and RNA | DNA has 2 strands and RNA is only 1 strand |
What is meant by denaturing | change the shape of the active site |
Name two factors that affect enzymes | pH and temperature |
what molecule cuts genes out of chromosomes in genetic engineering | enzymes |
What is the first stage of genetic engineering | identify section of DNA that contains required gene from chromosome |
What is the second stage of genetic engineering after identifying gene on chromosome | extract required gene with enzymes |
What is the third stage of genetic engineering after extracting gene from chromosome | extract plasmid from bacterial cell and cut open with enzymes |
What is the fourth stage of genetic engineering after extracting plasmid for bacterial cell | insert human gene into plasmid |
What is the fifth stage of genetic engineering after | insert plasmid into different bacteria |
What is the sixth stage of genetic engineering after inserting plasmid into different bacteria | grow bacteria in fermenter and extract protein produced |
Give an advantage of genetic engineering | produce large quantities of protein OR fast process |
Give an example of a genetically engineered protein | insulin OR human growth hormone |
