WGU C785 What is the basic structure of an amino acid? What do they look like? - correct answersamino group (NH2 or NH3), carboxyl group (COO or COOH), alpha carbon (C), and variable group How do you identify the 3 different types of side chains: non-polar/hydrophobic, polar, and charged? - correct answersNon-polar/hydrophobic - end with CH or "can't have" water. Polar - end with OH, SH, or NH. Charged - end with a charge what kinds of bonds do each of the 3 different types of side...

Describes the function of the digestive system and briefly goes through the parts of the digestive system. Gastrointestinal tract and lumen. Overview of digestion, through oral cavity, stomach, small intestine, large intestine. Describes cephalic phase, gastric phase, and intestinal phase. Overviews that the body harvests energy stored in chemical bonds, how APT is used and created. Anabolic and Catabolic pathways. Fed State metabolism and fasted state metabolism, and how homeostatic control of ...

CBSE Biochem Lesch-Nyhan Syndrome: what causes it and what are manifestations? - correct answersHGPRT deficiency in purine salvage pathway (this enzyme normally converts hypoxanthine to IMP and guanine to GMP). This deficiency leads to excessive Uric acid production and de novo purine synthesis. It is X linked recessive. Symptoms: hyperuricemia, gout, aggression / self mutilation, mental retardation, dystonia. Treatment for Lesch-Nyhan? - correct answersAllopurinol / febuxostat second ...

(chapter5) Microbiology Test 2 1. Which growth phase has the largest increase in cell numbers per unit of time? death phase exponential phase lag phase stationary phase In which growth p hase is there no increase or decrease in cell number because some cells are dividing while others are dying? death phase exponential phase lag phase stationary phase To speed up the growth rate in a chemostat, the should be increased. To increase the cell density as well, the should be increased. A. dilution rat...

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...
