Enveloped viral membranes are generally ______________ with associated virus-specific ______________ Correct Answer-Lipid bilayers; proteins Reverse transcriptase is an: Correct Answer-RNA-dependent DNA polymerase Which of the following is true regarding viral attachment proteins (VAP)? Correct Answer-They interact with host cell receptors, can be composed of proteins, carbs or lipids and they define the host range of the virus Restriction is: Correct Answer-A general host mechanism to ...

AP Biology Exam Terms organic compounds contain carbon; examples include lipids, proteins, and carbs functional groups amino (NH2), carbonyl (RCOR), carboxyl (COOH), hydroxyl (OH), phosphate (PO4), sulfhydryl (SH) fat glycerol and three fatty acids saturated fats bad for you; animals and some plants have it; solidifies at room temp. unsaturated fats better for you, plants have it; liquifies at room temp. steriods lipids whose structures resemble chicken-wire fence...

Test Bank for Essential Cell Biology 5th Edition Alberts Hopkin ESSENTIAL CELL BIOLOGY, 5th EDITION CHAPTER 1: CELLS: THE FUNDAMENTAL UNITS OF LIFE Unity and Diversity of Cells 1-1 Living systems are incredibly diverse in size, shape, environment, and behavior. It is estimated that there are between 10 million and 100 million different species. Despite this wide variety of organisms, it remains difficult to define what it means to say something is alive. Which of the following can be desc...

Disaccharide A double sugar, consisting of two monosaccharides joined by dehydration synthesis. Glycosidic Linkage A covalent bond formed between two monosaccharides by a dehydration reaction. Phospholipid A lipid made up of glycerol joined to two fatty acids and a phosphate group. The hydrocarbon chains of the fatty acids act as nonpolar, hydrophobic tails, while the rest of the molecule acts as a polar, hydrophilic head. Phospholipids form bilayers that function as biological membranes....

LSU Bio 1201 exam 2 Questions and Answers 100% Pass why are membranes called phospholipid bilayers? phospholipids have hydrophilic head and hydrophobic tail, hydrophobic face inside of cell making 2 layers what is meant by fluid mosaic? Mosaic of proteins drifting laterally in fluid bilayer of phospholipids how are membranes adjusted for different temperatures? membrane fluidity adjusted by changing the ratio of unsaturated to saturated fatty acids how do the relative amounts o...
