WGU BioChem OA Review
1 - ✔✔How many nucleotides does base excision repair remove?
2 - ✔✔How many fatty acid tails do Phospholipids have?
A 6 carbon sugar that fuels our tissues - ✔✔What is Glucose?
A chemical reactant that binds with an enzyme to generate a product. - ✔✔What is a substrate?
A condition that prevents the body from converting certain fats to energy, particularly during periods
without food (fasting). - ✔✔What is MCAD Deficiency? (Medium-Chain Acyl-CoA Dehydrogenase)
A molecule SIMILAR to a substrate that can bind to the enzymes active site, but the molecule is unable
to react. - ✔✔What is an enzymes competitive inhibitor?
A mutations in DNA that do not have an observable effect on the organism's phenotype. (1 neucleotide
changes but it codes for the same amino acid) - ✔✔What is a Silent Mutation?
A point mutation in a sequence of DNA (change in one nucleotide) that results in a premature STOP
codon - ✔✔What is NonSense Mutation
A point mutation in which a single nucleotide change results in a codon that codes for a DIFFERENT
amino acid. - ✔✔What is a Missense Mutation?
A storage form of Glucose that stores carbohydrates - ✔✔What is Glycogen?
Acetone is produced in the blood - ✔✔What happens with a low carb high fat diet?
AcetylCoA starts the citric acid cycle. It produces NADH and FADH2 - ✔✔What starts the citric acid cycle
and what does it produce?
, Acytle CoA - ✔✔What molecule starts the citric acid cycle?
Alzheimer's - ✔✔What disease is protein aggregation associated with?
amino acids - ✔✔What molecule is used in gluconeogenesis?
Amino Acids that Can't Have (CH) water (hydrophobic) - ✔✔What is a Non Polar Amino Acid?
Amino Acids whose side chains prefer water. (NH, OH, SH) - ✔✔What is a Polar Amino Acid?
An increase in NAD+ - ✔✔What stimulates beta oxidation of fatty acids?
Another last effort to repair a double strand break by putting the ends back together before making sure
they are correctly copied. This can lead to deletions/insertions (frameshift mutations). - ✔✔What is
Non-Homologous Recombintaion?
Any site other than the Enzyme active side where a substrate binds. - ✔✔What is an Allosteric site?
ATP, NADH, FADH2 - ✔✔What molecules are produced by Beta Oxidation?
AUTOSOMAL RECESSIVE pattern, which means that both copies of the gene in each cell have mutations .
The parents of an individual with an autosomal recessive condition each carry one copy of the mutated
gene, but they typically do not show signs and symptoms of the condition. - ✔✔What type of
inheritance is sickle cell anemia?
Between the sixth and seventh carbons. (Omega 3 is between the thrid and fourth carbons) - ✔✔Where
is the first double bound on an Omega 6 fatty acid?
Breaks down glycogen to release glucose (caused by fasting) - ✔✔What is Glycogenolysis?
