M1: DNA • DNA - DNA are the chemical unit for genetic information in most organisms. - DNA are informational macromolecules that are used to store hereditary information that determines functional and structural characteristics of organisms. - In eukaryotes‚ the linear DNA is found primarily in the nucleus of cells. - In prokaryotes (e.g. bacteria)‚ there is one circular loop of double-stranded DNA in cytoplasm. • General Structure of DNA - The structure of DNA as a double helix made up

increasing concentrations will lower the free energy (water potential); termed osmotic potential (ψs) 2) turgor pressure (ψp) in plant cell- positive pressure inside plant cells; increases free energy; loss of turgor = wilting 3) surfaces of macromolecules (e.g. cellulose) exerts an attractiveforce on water- matric potential (ψm); lowers the free energy; usually a minor component‚ and often ignored Total water potential of a plant: Ψplant =ψs + ψp + ψm Soil water potential same components

A Tour of the Cell Overview: The Importance of Cells • All organisms are made of cells. o Many organisms are single-celled. o Even in multicellular organisms‚ the cell is the basic unit of structure and function. • The cell is the simplest collection of matter that can live. • All cells are related by their descent from earlier cells. Concept 2 Eukaryotic cells have internal membranes that compartmentalize their functions Prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells

Proteins are complex organic compounds. They are macromolecules or bio molecules composed of amino acids linked by peptide bond. Fat is a component in food. fat is an important part of a healthy diet.

Nitrogen Cycle Questions 1. Nitrogen is both the __most abundant element__ and in organisms it is the raw material of two main macromolecules __ammonia and nitrite which build proteins and _nitrates which build your genetic material‚ DNA. 2. In the atmosphere it is found in the form of N2 which is __nitrogen gas____. 3. These Nitrogen molecules then need to go through a process called __nitrogen fixation__ in order to be converted into molecules that living organisms can use readily. 4. Two forms

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a molecule that encodes the genetic information used in the development and function of all known living organisms and some viruses. It is a major macromolecule that is essential for all known forms of life. Knowing this‚ several groups of scientists raced to find out how this essential molecule was structured. In an attempt to answer this question‚ James Watson and Francis Crick got together at the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge‚ England to experiment and record

FT–IR spectra of the synthesized compounds‚ HPPP‚ BOMP‚ HVPA and photocrosslinked polymers were recorded on Perkin-Elmer system 2000 (4000–400 cm–1) spectrometer‚ using KBr pellets. Medium pressure mercury vapour lamp to the power output of 125W/cm2 was used for the photocrosslinking study. The viscosity of the

Bio-Rad Protein Assay INTRODUCTION Proteins are large complex organic macromolecules which are utilized for many important roles in the body. Proteins function in structure‚ transport‚ energy conversions‚ and play an important role in defense against diseases. Protein is also important for muscle recovery‚ which is why it is commonly associated with fitness. Though your body will always absorb 1g of protein the same way every time‚ protein companies like to make their product competitive
