BMS 300 PRACTICE TIPS EXAM QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
GUARANTEE A+
✔✔Hydrophilic Pathway Channels - ✔✔Made of at least 4 alpha Helices to allow certain
molecules to pass through the membrane.
✔✔Central Dogma - ✔✔DNA provides a template for RNA to translate into protein
✔✔Histone - ✔✔DNA binding protein to allow chromosomes to tightly wrap like a spool.
✔✔Nuclear Pore - ✔✔Regulates Access to the cytoplasm
✔✔Ribosomes - ✔✔"Protein Builders" that are free to live in the cytoplasm or are
attached to the ER.
✔✔3 Proteins from Rough ER - ✔✔Secreted - Leaves the cell
Lysosomal - creates lysosomes
Transmembrane - on membrane
✔✔Glycosylation - ✔✔Attaching sugars to proteins produce glycoproteins
✔✔Golgi Apparatus - ✔✔Finalizes proteins by modifying 3D shape(Sent from ER to
Golgi)
✔✔Vesicle - ✔✔Small organelle that contains and transports materials within the
cytoplasm. e.g. protein to the Golgi
✔✔Microtubules - ✔✔Polymer of tubulin that assembles side to side with a negative end
and positive end (Always assemble as 13 in a circle)
✔✔Filamentous Actin - ✔✔Polymer of Globulin Actin (G-Actin) that can support vesicle
transport
✔✔Intermediate Filament protein - ✔✔polymers of small intermediate filament sub units
✔✔Kinesin - ✔✔Molecular motor that turns chemical energy to kinetic (ATPase)
✔✔Dynein - ✔✔(-) end directed motor on the microtubule (ATPase)
✔✔ATPase - ✔✔Enzyme that releases energy stored in the terminal phosphate bonds
of ATP molecules ATP->ADP + P_i
✔✔Myosin - ✔✔Molecular motor for Actin (ATPase) that helps transport vesicles along
the membrane
, ✔✔DNA - ✔✔5 carbon sugar made up of bases (ATCG) that links together in a
phospho-diester bond
✔✔Purines - ✔✔Adenine and Guanine Bases that
✔✔Pyrimidines - ✔✔Thymine and Cytosine
✔✔Number 5 Carbon - ✔✔5th carbon on DNA that has a triphosphate attached. It can
then be removed to create a bond on the 3rd carbon
✔✔Anti-Parallel Organization of DNA - ✔✔A-T
C-G
✔✔DNA Replication - ✔✔Basis of life on the planet that is "Semi conserved"
Always read from 3' to 5' end
✔✔Helicase - ✔✔breaks down H-bonding and unwinds the helix
✔✔DNA Polymerase - ✔✔Adds a base pair to each base on newly broken strand in 3'
to 5' direction
✔✔Leading Strand - ✔✔The first new strand to be created in 3' to 5' end
✔✔Lagging Strand - ✔✔Second strand created after Leading and goes in 3' to 5' end
but reverse direction
✔✔Primers - ✔✔Bits of RNA that stick to DNA
✔✔Promoter - ✔✔Sequence of bases that provides the "Start Here Signal"
✔✔Transcription Factor - ✔✔Binds to promoter and says it is the start of a gene
✔✔RNA Polymerase - ✔✔Enzyme that links together the growing chain of
ribonucleotides during transcription.
✔✔Introns - ✔✔Cut Out sections of the sequence of Pre-mRNA
✔✔exons - ✔✔Expressed regions of the sequence
✔✔tRNA - ✔✔molecule that binds to an amino acid and attaches to protein chain
✔✔AUG - ✔✔always the start codon that is a 3 base set
