Phosphorylation Cascade

- A phosphorylation cascade is a sequence of signaling pathway events where one enzyme phosphorylates another, causing a chain reaction leading to the phosphorylation of thousands of proteins. This can be seen in signal transduction of hormone messages.

Know which 4 of the 25 elements that make up 96% of living matter

- Carbon - Oxygen - Hydrogen - Nitrogen (HONC)

difference between geometric isotopes, geometric isomers, enantiomers and structural isomers

- Geometric isotopes- the generation of noticeable H bond geometry changes which would exert internal pressure on the global H-bonded networks and cause new phases in crystals and, therefore, regulate their properties and functions. - Geometric isomers are two or more coordination compounds which contain the same number and types of atoms, and bonds (i.e., the connectivity between atoms is the same), but which have different spatial arrangements of the atoms. - Enantiomers or optical isomers are chiral molecules which are non-superimposable mirror images of each other. - A structural isomer, also known as a constitutional isomer, is one in which two or more organic compounds have the same molecular formulas but different structures.

Difference between glucose and fructose

- Glucose is sourced by breaking down disaccharides or polysaccharides, which are larger sugar molecules. - Fructose is found in its simplest form in fruits and some vegetables like beets, corn and potatoes. - Both are carbohydrates

how to determine is if a molecule is hydrophobic, hydrophilic; by looking at structures which can be linked together to form a nucleotide.

- If all the bonds in a molecule are nonpolar, then the molecule itself is nonpolar. Some examples of nonpolar covalent bonds are C-C and C-H bonds. 2. Even if a molecule has polar covalent bonds, if these bonds are arranged symmetrically, the molecule overall will be hydrophobic. - A hydrophilic molecule or portion of a molecule is one whose interactions with water and other polar substances are more thermodynamically favorable than their interactions with oil or other hydrophobic solvents. They are typically charge-polarized and capable of hydrogen bonding.

function of the plasma membrane

- The plasma membrane, or the cell membrane, provides protection for a cell. It also provides a fixed environment inside the cell. And that membrane has several different functions. One is to transport nutrients into the cell and also to transport toxic substances out of the cell.

how to determine by looking at a DNA strand how may purines and pyrimidines can be found, and which would be larger

- The pyrimidines, cytosine and thymine are smaller structures with a single ring, while the purines, adenine and guanine, are larger and have a two-ring structure. E. The purines, adenine and cytosine, are large with two rings, while the pyrimidines, thymine and uracil, are small with one ring.

microtubules, microfilaments and intermediate structures

- microtubule network is recognized for its role in regulating cell growth and movement as well as key signaling events, which modulate fundamental cellular processes. - Microfilaments - protein filaments in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells that form part of the cytoskeleton - functions include cytokinesis, amoeboid movement, cell motility, changes in cell shape, endocytosis and exocytosis, cell contractility, and mechanical stability.
