ionic bonds are... strong and pliable but can easily be disrupted by
polar solvents (eg. water)
van der waals forces are... individually very weak

transport pump. The conformation
changes that lead to translocation of
the transporter substance are
caused by...
True regarding prokaryotic cells? - has a cell wall
- reproduce by binary fission
- do not exist as true...
- utilize double strands for hereditary material
- do NOT package their DNA so they do NOT need
histones
Evolution of the nucleus in - Segregation of DNA from other cellular
eukaryotic organisms has allowed... processes

The histones used to package newly - added to DNA as it is emerging from the
replicated DNA replication machinery
mutations within DNA coding - usually results to deleterious changes in protein
regions... structure
DNA coding regions have important information,
any mutations on these regions are most of the
time negative (bad), so it will not be beneficial.
Entropy is the measure of... - the amount of disorder in a system
a protein secondary structure is - hydrogen bonds
maintained by
hydrogen bonds are the bonds between atoms
binding of a ligand to a specific - involves numerous weak noncovalent bonds
enzyme binding site...
it is not a permanent binding, so it CANNOT be
covalent, it has to be a weak bond in order for it to
be able to break or go back to its original form.
Chemical analysis of DNA will reveal - Concentration of Purines equals concentration of
the following... Pyrimidines

Because its circular, replication of - Telomerase function
prokaryotic DNA does NOT require...
Telomerase is used to stabilize the ends of
Eukaryotic chromosomes which are linear. Since
prokaryotic DNA is not linear, it does NOT need
telomerase to stabilize its ends.
Flipping out refers to... - The temporary separation of a base from its
compliment to allow close inspection.
activation energy is a property of... - all types of chemical reactions
It is NOT the energy required to push a reaction in
an unfavorable direction.
Universal features of all cells... - take up matter from their surroundings
- store hereditary information
- use RNA to direct protein synthesis
- all cells use DNA
- all cells replicate their DNA
- transcribe DNA into RNA
- regulate gene expression
- synthesize proteins using mRNA as a template
- require FREE ENERGY
