BIOL 3362 - Exam 3 Study Guide/BIOL 3362 - Exam 3 Study Guide. Chapter 8 – Lipids • How the fatty acids are denoted according to IUPAC nomenclature rules? The longest carbon chain in the molecule determines the prefix. Since the highest priority functional group of fatty acids is the carboxyl group, the suffix is –oic acid. Example: A 12-carbon, fully saturated fatty acid is called dodecanoic acid. In the case of unsaturated fatty acids, an –cen- is added. Example: A 16-carbo...

BIOL 3362 - Exam 1 Study Guide/BIOL 3362 - Exam 1 Study Guide. STUDY GUIDE TEST 1 CHAPTER 21: PHOTOSYNTHESIS Where does photosynthesis occurs in plants and bacteria?  Plants- chloroplasts o Light reactions in the thylakoid membrane o Dark reactions in the stroma  Bacteriao Cyanobacteria- thylakoid membranes in cytoplasm o Photosynthetic bacteria- in membranes in the cytoplasm

Study guide test 2 Strategies of nucleotide synthesis: precursors, when is ribose added, how is ribose activated and added, what are first purines and pyrimidines made, how are the various forms of THF made and/or interconverted, regulation of purine synthesis (where are committed steps), how is a balance between AMP and GMP achieved, how do folic acid antagonists impair purine synthesis. • Pyrimidines: base is made before adding the ribose sugar • Purines: ribose is already present  suga...

Biochemistry II Exam 4 Chapter 24 Lipid Biosynthesis What is the difference between fatty acid synthesis and fatty acid degradation? ● Use of CoA and acyl protetin: Intermediates in synthesi s are linked to -SH groups of acyl carrier proteins like phosphopantetheine and cysteine(as compared to -SH groups of CoA in breakdown) ● Cellular compartment: Synthesis in cytosol; breakdown in mitochondrial matrix ● Enzymes of fatty acid synthesis are components of one long polypeptide chain, the fat...

STUDY GUIDE TEST 1 CHAPTER 21: PHOTOSYNTHESIS Where does photosynthesis occurs in plants and bacteria? • Plants- chloroplasts o Light reactions in the thylakoid membrane o Dark reactions in the stroma • Bacteria- o Cyanobacteria- thylakoid membranes in cytoplasm o Photosynthetic bacteria- in membranes in the cytoplasm Chloroplasts structure and function are very important. Inner membranes are important for photosynthesis to occur because of the separation of charges. Outer membrane - It is a...
