What do membranes consist of? correct answers Phospholipids, glycolipids, and membrane
proteins
Are Membrane lipids amphipathic? correct answers yes
What are the roles membrane proteins play? correct answers Transport, Enzymes, Receptors
Transport proteins act as what? correct answers Hydrophilic channels or carriers
What is the hierarchical assembly? correct answers Small Organic Molecules, Macromolecules,
Supramolecular Structures, Organelles and others, the Cell
What is the fundamental principle of biological Chemistry? correct answers The Macromolecules
that are responsible for most of the form and order of living systems are generated by the
polymerization of small organic molecules
What are the 3 kinds of macromolecules that cells contain? correct answers Proteins, Nucleic
Acids, and Polysaccharides
What are two informational macromolecules? correct answers DNA, RNA
, What is the synthesis for macromolecules from Monomers? correct answers A stepwise
polymerization through condensation reactions in the presence of an activated monomer due to
coupling of the momomer and a carrier molecule; facilitated by the release of ATP
Principle of Self Assembly? correct answers States that information needed to specify the folding
of macromolecules and their interactions to form complex structures is inherent in the polymers
themselves.
What is the immediate product of an Amino Acid Polymerization? correct answers A polypeptide
What is Denaturation? correct answers Unfolding of polypeptides, leads to loss of function
What is a molecular chaperone? correct answers Assist assembly process by inhibiting
interactions that would produce incorrect structures, aid in destruction of misfolded proteins
Types of Self-Assembly correct answers Strict Self-Assembly and Assisted Self-Assembly
4 types of bonds necessary for the folding of proteins correct answers Hydrogen Bonds, Ionic
Bonds, Van der waals, Hydrophobic
What is Tobacco Mosaic Virus? correct answers A rodlike particle, with a single RNA strand and
about 2130 copies of a coat protein that form a cylindrical covering for RNA
How does TMV Self-Assemble? correct answers Unit of assembly is a two-layered disc of coat
protein that changes conformation (from cylinder to helix) as it interacts with the central RNA
molecule
What are the limits of Self-Assembly? correct answers Some depend on information provided by
a preexisting structure
