Associate Level Material Appendix C The Building Blocks of Life Worksheet Part 1: Mitosis and Meiosis Short-Answer Response Use Ch. 5 of BioInquiry and the “Comparing Mitosis and Meiosis” video as resources for Part 1 of this assignment. Write 75- to 100-word answers to the following questions. • Why are the process of mitosis and meiosis both important to a living organism? Mitosis is very important to living organisms. Mitosis is a process of cell division. Basically‚ mitosis

ethanol and carbon dioxide and is expressed chemically as: C6H12O6 + 2PO43- + 2ADP → 2C2H5OH + 2CO2 + 2ATP Behind this simplified chemical reaction is a series of complex biochemical reactions. These reactions (known as the ‘Glycolytic pathway’ or ‘Embden-Myerhof-Parnas pathway’) involve a number of enzymes and the reactions take place anaerobically inside the cells of brewing yeast. DB Breweries carry out this fermentation by a continuous process in which the beer moves through a series of stirred vessels

OBJECTIVE The objective of this lab was to determine the effects of two unknown drugs on the microtubule pathways in COS-7 cells through the process of immunostaining. METHOD Before arrival‚ the COS-7 cells were grown in culture dishes submerged in a growth medium that contained bovine serum. Two coverslips covered in the COS-7 cells were provided. After washing the coverslip with Phosphate Buffer Saline (PBS)‚ one coverslip was treated with the control solution‚ and the other was treated with

adenosine plus a tail of three phosphate groups. The triphosphate tail is the end of ATP and each phosphate group is negatively charged. The Negative charges repel each other. The crowding of negative charges in the triphosphate tail contributes to the potential energy of ATP. For ATP power‚ it is release of the phosphate at the tip of the triphosphate tail that makes energy available to working cells. What remains is ADP‚ adenosine diphosphate. The transfer of a phosphate from the triphosphate tail

first broken down into fructose 1 phosphate by the enzyme fructokinase. Then fructose 1 phosphate is further broken down into dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) and glyceraldehyde by the enzyme aldolase b. (Hudon-Miller‚ 2012). At this point‚ DHAP and glyceraldehyde enter the glycolysis cycle where they can be further processed into ATP‚ the body’s main source of energy. Deficiency in aldolase b Aldolase b is the enzyme which breaks down fructose 1 phosphate into DHAP and glyceraldehyde.

Unit 1: Biochemistry Review Chemical Bonding Three types of bonds Ionic bond: 2 oppositely charged atoms (Na and Cl) Polar covalent: Unequally shared electrons (H and O) Non polar covalent: Equally shared electrons (C and C) or similar electronegativity Electronegativity and chemical bonding Electronegativity is a measure of the strength in which an atom can attract electrons. A difference of < 0. 5 is non polar covalent bond A difference of 0.5 – 1.7 is polar covalent bond A difference of > 1

1. Glycolysis is a catabolic pathway through which glucose (C6H12O6) is oxidized to pyruvate (CH3COCOO−). It takes place in the cytosol of both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. During the first steps of glycolysis‚ 2ATP molecules are used to attach two phosphates to the glucose molecule‚ leaving a 6-carbon sugar diphosphate and 2 ADP molecules. Afterwards‚ the 6-carbon sugar diphosphate is split into two 3-carbon sugars by the enzyme Isomerase. The two 3-carbon sugar molecules then both undergo

Light Dependent Reactions The light dependent reaction of photosynthesis involves the transfer of sunlight energy into two things: The production of ATP Reduction of coenzyme NADP to NADPH NADP – Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate NADPH – Reduced NADP The energy from sunlight is used to excite an electron‚ within a primary pigment‚ to a higher energy level. The excited electron is then donated to an electron acceptor leaving the chlorophyll molecule oxidised and reducing the acceptor

Describe the structure of DNA. DNA really stands for Deoxyribonucleic acid. DNA is a right handed double helix. Nucleotides that mount together by phosphodiester bonds make up DNA. It also contains a spiral strand that is made of phosphate backbone and secure bases (Adenine‚ Guanine‚ Cytosine‚ Thymine). Cytosine and Thymine are Pyrimidines‚ while Adenine and Guanine are Purines. All these bases are latched to one another by hydrogen bonding. A::T G::C each represent the
