Document Summary
Talking about the exam 1 (70 questions (mc, t/f, matching), all scantron, know your lab section number, there are 4 different version of the exam) Questions related to the functions of proteins throughout the body. Showing picture of rxn and categorizing it as catabolic or anabolic. Genetic code determines amino acids to be manufactured. 3 bases in a row (triplet) codes for 1 amino acid. By understanding the dna structure we can understand if your body is making the right proteins, etc. Special : fucntions is to carry out the orders for protein synthesis issues by dna. Structure: different from dna in that it is one sided. Rna and dna work together to decode. Rna rewrites the genetic codes using complimentary pairs. We do not need to go bananas with the 3 functional types of rna. Provide evergy for cell to cary out its function. We make atp to break down for energy: energy currency for the body.
