Structure of an amino acid - ✔✔✔-Amino group, carboxyl group, R group
The permeability of the phospholipid bilayer is determined by? - ✔✔✔-The number
of saturated fatty acids, integral proteins in the membrane, and temperature
Primary protein structure - ✔✔✔-Sequence chain of amino acids
Secondary protein structure - ✔✔✔-Sequence of amino acids are linked by
hydrogen bonds
Tertiary protein structure - ✔✔✔-Certain attractions are present between alpha
helices and pleated sheets
Quaternary protein structure - ✔✔✔-Multiple amino acid chains
Where is energy in ATP stored? - ✔✔✔-The bond between the second and third
phosphate
Allosteric activation - ✔✔✔-Active site becomes available to the substrates when a
regulatory molecule binds to a different site on the enzyme.
Allosteric deactivation - ✔✔✔-The active site becomes unavailable to the
substrates when a regulatory molecule binds to a different site on the enzyme.
What is active transport? - ✔✔✔-Transport that uses energy via
phosphorylation(ex. Na/K pump)
