4 parts of an amino acid Correct Answer- Carboxyl group
Alpha carbon
Amino group
R side chain
Amino acid sequence wraps around proteins called Correct Answer- Histones
At the end of the ETC, ATP is formed when Correct Answer- Protons (H+) in the intermembrane
rush through ATP synthase in the inner membrane and into the matrix.

Bonds in hydrophobic amino acids Correct Answer- C-C, C-HBonds in polar amino acids Correct Answer- O-H
N-H
S-H
Cellular respiration Correct Answer- The process our bodies use to convert food to energy.
Chromatin organizes to form Correct Answer- A chromosome
Citric acid/ Krebs cycle inputs Correct Answer- Acetyl CoA
NAD+
GDP
FAD
Citric acid/ Krebs cycle location Correct Answer- Matrix
Citric acid/ Krebs cycle outputs Correct Answer- CO2
NADH
GTP
FADH2
Coding strand (DNA) Correct Answer- The original strand off which the new nucleotide
sequence is based.
Almost the same as mRNA
Codominance Correct Answer- A condition in which neither of two alleles of a gene is dominant
or recessive.
Both phenotypes are expressed.competitive inhibitor Correct Answer- A molecule similar to a substrate that can bind to the
enzymes active site.
Reversible
Increased substrate=increase in reaction
Complete dominance Correct Answer- When the phenotypes of the heterozygote and
dominant homozygote are indistinguishable.
COOI
H - C - R
I
NH3+ Correct Answer- Abbreviated structure (amino acid)
Cooperativity Correct Answer- In Hgb, if 1 heme gets filled the other 3 want to get filled. If 1 O2
leaves, the others tend to leave.
Cori cycle has a net loss of _________. Correct Answer- 4 ATP
Dehydration reaction Correct Answer- Creates a peptide bond by removing water.
Disulfide bond Correct Answer- Very strong covalent bond between two sulfur atoms. Can only
be broken by chemical agents.
DNA polymerase III Correct Answer- synthesizes new DNA only in the 5' to 3' direction
Needs a primer to startElectron transport chain inputs Correct Answer- NADH

Electron transport chain location Correct Answer- Inner membrane
Electron transport chain outputs Correct Answer- NAD+
FAD
H2O
ATP
Feedback inhibition Correct Answer- When end product is no longer being consumed and starts
accumulating, the end product binds with the initial enzyme, stopping it from bonding with the
substrate.
Reversible
Fermentation converts _________ into __________. Correct Answer- NADH, NAD+ and 2
