In 1951, Erwin Chargaff was accumulating data on the molar ratios of nucleotides using DNA obtained from a variety of sources. Watson and Crick met with Chargaff to discuss his work in 1952. Explain how Chargaff's observations helped Watson and Crick to propose the complementary base pairing in their model of double-stranded DNA. Would you expect similar ratios of nucleotides if Chargaff had used RNA instead? Explain why or why not.

Chargaff's data show that an approximately 1:1 molar ratio exists between adenine and thymine bases, and between guanine and cytosine bases. Watson and Crick used these data to come up with complementary base pairing, which requires that every adenine pairs with a thymine and every guanine pairs with a cytosine. In RNA, Chargaff's rules do not apply since RNA is single-stranded and the pairing is not consistent throughout the molecule.

It must be obtained by breaking down proteins into amino acids, which would include phenylalanine.

Suppose a cell is placed in a solution with a high concentration of potassium and no sodium. How would the cellular sodium-potassium pump function in this environment?

It would continue using ATP to pump sodium out of the cell and potassium into the cell.

The first reaction in the catabolism of phenylalanine uses the enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) to convert phenylalanine into tyrosine, a different amino acid. PKU results from defects in this enzyme. It has been hypothesized that phenylalanine is both the substrate and an allosteric regulatory molecule for PAH.

Membrane Transport (2 of 4): The Sodium-Potassium Pump (BioFlix tutorial) Part A:All cells contain ion pumps that use the energy of ATP hydrolysis to pump ions across the plasma membrane. These pumps create an electrochemical gradient across the plasma membrane that is used to power other processes at the plasma membrane, including some transport processes. In animal cells, the main ion pump is the sodium-potassium pump. Complete the diagram below using the following steps. Drag the correct white label to the white target, indicating how many ions move through the pump and in which directions. Drag the pink labels to the pink targets, indicating the relative concentrations of Na+ and K+ inside and outside the cell. Drag the blue labels to the blue targets, indicating the relative charges inside and outside the cell. Part B: Because ions carry a charge (positive or negative), their transport across a membrane is governed not only by concentration gradients across the membrane but also by differences in charge across the membrane (also referred to as membrane potential). Together, the concentration (chemical) gradient and the charge difference (electrical gradient) across the plasma membrane make up the electrochemical gradient. Consider the plasma membrane of an animal cell that contains a sodium-potassium pump as well as two non-gated (always open) ion channels: a Na+ channel and a K+ channel. The effect of the sodium-potassium pump on the concentrations of Na+ and K+ as well as the distribution of charge across the plasma membrane is indicated in the figure below. Which of the following statements correctly describe(s) the driving forces for diffusion of Na+ and K+ ions through their respective channels? Select all that apply.

Part A: A- 3 Na+ up, 2 K+ down B- Na+ high, K+ low C- excess + charge D- Na+ low, K+ high E- excess - charge Part B: The diffusion of Na+ ions into the cell is facilitated by the Na+ concentration gradient across the plasma membrane. The diffusion of K+ ions out of the cell is impeded by the electrical gradient across the plasma membrane. The electrochemical gradient is larger for Na+ than for K+.

The results from this type of experiment using PAH in the presence (+) or absence (−) of phenylalanine is shown below. Interpret the results in terms of the effect phenylalanine has on the structure of PAH. Part B: Do the results support the hypothesis that phenylalanine is an allosteric regulator?

Part A: PAH has a different structure in the presence of phenylalanine compared to when it is absent. This is shown by the different products generated after exposure to trypsin between the two conditions. Part B: These results support the hypothesis that phenylalanine is an allosteric regulatory molecule.

Tour of an Animal Cell: The Endomembrane System (BioFlix tutorial) Part A: The various parts of the endomembrane system serve different functions in the cell. In this activity, you will identify the roles of each part of the endomembrane system. Drag each function to the appropriate bin. Part B: All proteins are synthesized by ribosomes in the cell. Some ribosomes float freely in the cytosol, while others are bound to the surface of the endoplasmic reticulum. Most proteins made by free ribosomes function in the cytosol. Proteins made by bound ribosomes either function within the endomembrane system or pass through it and are secreted from the cell. Which of the following proteins are synthesized by bound ribosomes? Select all that apply Part C: Proteins that are secreted from a eukaryotic cell must first travel through the endomembrane system. Drag the labels onto the diagram to identify the path a secretory protein follows from synthesis to secretion. Not all labels will be used. Part D: Scientists can track the movement of proteins through the endomembrane system using an approach known as a pulse-chase experiment. This experiment involves the "pulse" phase: Cells are exposed to a high concentration of a radioactively labeled amino acid for a short period to tag proteins that are being synthesized. the "chase" phase: Any unincorporated radioactively labeled amino acids are washed away and large amounts of the same, but unlabeled, amino acid are added. Only those proteins synthesized during the brief pulse phase are radioactively tagged. These tagged proteins can be tracked through the chase period to determine their location in the cell. The data below were obtained from a pulse-chase experiment in which cells were examined at different times during the chase period. The numbers represent the radioactivity (measured in counts per minute) recorded at each of the indicated sites. The higher the number, the greater the radioactivity.

Math Practice: Generating a Regression Line for Biological Data Researchers studying a species of endangered bird were interested in whether a relationship exists between the number of eggs laid by the mother bird at one time and the proportion of chicks surviving to the following year. The data shown here were collected from 10 different nests in a wild population. Part A: Your first step is to plot the data. Which variable would you put on the x-axis, and which variable would you put on the y-axis? Part B: Which type of graph is best suited to this data? Part C: Now suppose you plotted the data using a graphing program. Your scatter plot would look similar to this. Each point represents the data collected from one nest. The line is called a regression line (also called a trend line or best-fit line). From looking at this scatter plot, what do you think the regression line represents? Part D: The equation of the regression line can be expressed in this format: y = mx + b. In this equation, m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept. When a graphing program plots a regression line, it carries out calculations with the raw data to determine the equation of the line. Which equation most closely approximates the regression line shown in the graph? (For practice approximating the equation of a line, try this activity.) Part E: The equation of a regression line can be used to calculate the value of y expected for a particular value of x. What would be the approximate survival rate for a nest with 5 eggs? Part F: A statistical measure of how closely data fit a linear relationship is called the correlation coefficient (r). The value of the correlation coefficient can range between -1 and 1. When r > 0, y and x are positively correlated (y becomes larger as x becomes larger). When r < 0, y and x are negatively correlated (y becomes smaller as x becomes larger). The closer r is to either extreme of the range (-1 or 1), the stronger the linear relationship between the variables. When r = 1, all data points fall on the regression line in a perfect positive correlation. When r = -1, all data points fall on the regression line in a perfect negative correlation. As the value of r approaches 0, the data points display more scatter, indicating a weaker linear relationship. When r = 0, the variables do not have a linear relationship. The correlation coefficient of the data on chick survival vs. clutch size is -0.93. How would you interpret that correlation coefficient? Part G: Suppose you analyzed the same type of data for a different species and found a correlation coefficient of -0.17. How would you describe the relationship between chick survival and clutch size for that species? Part H: What can you conclude from the graph? Select all that apply.

Part A: x-axis: clutch size y-axis: chick survival Part B: scatter plot Part C: It represents the straight line that fits most closely the trend in the data Part D: y = -0.14x + 1.2 Part E: 0.50 Part F: Chick survival and clutch size are strongly negatively correlated. Part G: Chick survival and clutch size are weakly negatively correlated. Part H: Large clutch size is strongly correlated with lower chick survival.
