Question Answer
nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane, mitochondria, ribosome
WHAT DOES THE RIBOSOME DO IN A CELL? The ribosome controls which substances can come in and out of the cell
WHAT IS THE NUCLEUS' ROLE? It carries the cells genetic info(DNA)
WHAT IS THE MITOCHONDRIA FOR? Energy is release during respiration here
WHICH BASES GO WHITH WHICH IN THE DOUBLE HELIX? A goes with T and G goes with C
WHERE IS THE GENETIC INFO CARRIED IN THE DOUBLE HELIX? In its chromosomes
WHO DISCOVERED THE DOUBLE HELIX STRUCTURE? (3) Rosalyn Franklyn, Francis Crick and Jim Whatson
WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE DNA? To make protiens
HOW ARE PROTIENS MADE? (5) 1.The DNA code/sequence of bases are copied to make mRNA 2.It is then carried to the RIBOSOMES 3. Proteins are made in the cytoplasm by the ribosomes 4.A group of 3 bases code for an amino acid. 5.The amino acids join and make a protien
WHERE DOES THE AMINO ACIDS JOIN TOGETHER IN THE CELL? Ribosome
WHAT IS A MUTATION? WHAT DOES IT DO? (4) -The change in the GINETIC CODE -The base sequence changes the AMINO ACID sequence. -The SHAPE of the protein is altered which changes how it FUNCTIONS. - A mutation can also stop a protein from being made.

HOW DOES THE LOCK AND KEY THEORY WORK? (4) -There are many different subtrates that fit in specific enzymes. -The reaction takes place in the active site (between the enzyme and subtrate) -The subtrate complex is formed. -The product is then released
WHAT IS A STUBSTRATE? It is the molecule at the start of the reaction
WHAT IS THE ACTIVE SITE? The place in which the ENZYME and SUBTRATE BOND
WHAT FACTORS EFFECT ENZYME ACTIVITY? Temperature and pH
HOW DOES TEMEPERATURE AFFECT ENZYME ACTIVITY? (3) - If the temp is LOW, it is hard for the enzyme to collide with the substrate because of low energy -If the temperature is OPTIMUM (the right amount) then the enzymes collide with the subtrates a lot. -If it is TO HOT for the enzymes and subtrates, it makes it the hardest for the subtrates and enzymes to collide.
HOW DOES PH EFFECT ENZYME ACTIVITY? Less enzymes react with subtrates because the subtrates are DE-NATURED The optimum pH allow enzymes to react a lot more with subtrates.
