All of the following processes occur within mitochondria except: A) the splitting of glucose. B) the formation of citric acid. C) the catabolism of citric acid to produce NADH, CO2, and H +. D) the transfer of electrons from NADH to the electron transport chain. E) the reduction of oxygen to form water.

In gylcolysis, a small amount of ATP is produced by substrate level phosphorylation. A) True B) False

T F Phosphorylation of ADP in the electron transport chain is powered by the movement of electrons through an ATP-synthase molecule.

Outline I.What is DNA? II.How does DNA code for proteins? III.Human Genome Project

The plans for all proteins are encoded This plan is called DNA

DNA Function Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) serves as code for protein synthesis

DNA Function Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) serves as code for protein synthesis Gene – segment of DNA that codes for one polypeptide Genome - all the genes of one person

The Structure of DNA DNA is a polymer of __________ ____________ consist of: –sugar –phosphate group –nitrogenous base

Nitrogenous Bases of DNA Adenine (A) Thymine (T) Cytosine (C) Guanine (G)

Nitrogenous Bases of DNA Adenine (A) Thymine (T) Cytosine (C) Guanine (G) DNA has roughly equal quantities of A & T, and equal quantities of C & G

Watson & Crick revealed the structure of DNA.

What Does your DNA Look Like?

DNA Structure DNA is a Double Helix Free Railed Spiral Staircase 1 2

DNA Structure DNA is a Double Helix Free Railed Spiral Staircase Phosphate-sugar handrails Nitrogenous Base Pair steps 1 2

The Double Helix

Complementary Base Pairing Nitrogenous bases form hydrogen bonds Sugar-phosphate backbone

Complementary Base Pairing Nitrogenous bases form hydrogen bonds Only certain bases can bond (A—T and C—G) Sugar-phosphate backbone

Complementary Base Pairing Nitrogenous bases form hydrogen bonds Only certain bases can bond (A—T and C—G) One strand determines base sequence of other strand Sugar-phosphate backbone

It has not escaped our notice that the specific pairing we have postulated immediately suggests a possible copying mechanism for the genetic material. - Watson & Crick, 1953, Nature

Structure of DNA What is a gene? –Short segment of DNA ~ 30,000 genes in your DNA –Each gene codes for 1 protein

Structure of DNA Total length of 3 meters Three meters long?! But how does it all fit in such a tiny cell?

Condensed vs Uncondensed DNA 5 Steps
