overview
In these chapters we learned how enzymes are globular proteins which act as catalysts, and how enzymes acts as catalyst by lowering activation energy. We also learned how temperature, pH, concentration of enzyme, concentration of substrate, and competitive and non competitive inhibition affect the rate of the enzyme-controlled reactions.
We also had to be able to describe the structure of DNA and RNA, including the importance of base pairing and hydrogen bonding. We also had to be able to explain how DNA replication semi-conservatively during interphase. We learned that gene is part of a DNA molecule, made up of a sequence of nucleotides which codes for the construction of a polpeptide and describe the way in which the nucleotide sequence codes for the amino acid sequence in a polypeptide. We learned the difference between transcription and translation and where each was located and how they were transfered. Lastly how DNA controls the synthesis of enzymes are protein.
