If I give you atomic number and the atomic mass, you should be able to tell me the, uh, number
of protons, electrons, neutrons, balance electrons. We've gone through that probably about a
dozen times. I put it on the board. I put it on the board today. Everyone should know that at this
point.
That's like a giveaway question. The periodic table of elements. You should know what that is.
You know, it has all the elements on it. You know that the rows represent the number of electron
shells.
The columns represent, uh, the number of valence electrons. The extreme right hand column,
that's the inert gases and noble gases, uh, which don't interact with anywhere. So, uh, it's all
straight phone stuff. You've gone through a whole bunch of times. You know that?
A couple of questions. Okay. You should know all about proteins. You know that proteins are
made up of amino acids joined by peptide bonds, polypeptide chains, protein in there with 1 or
polypeptide chains. Enzymes are proteins.
You should know that enzymes are protein. Do you know that proteins have nitrogen in them?
We know that because the NH2, the amino group, uh, of the amino acids has nitrogen. We
know that the main component of the plasma membrane The principal components of
the plasma membrane are lipids (phospholipids and cholesterol),
proteins, and carbohydrate groups that are attached to some of the
lipids and proteins.is possible to, but there are proteins that are embedded. One of the
functions that we talked about was facilitating diffusion where a protein forms a channel.
The molecules go in and out. facilitating diffusion where a protein forms a channel.
The molecules go in and out. In facilitated diffusion, molecules diffuse across
the plasma membrane with assistance from membrane proteins, such
as channels and carriers The protein, the primary structure yeah. What was the main
component of the falciparum? Anybody wanna tell? Anyone can say what it is?
Right. The phospholipid bilayer. And there are proteins embedded in it. Everything I say now is
right from the exam. I'm reading the exam now.

If I give you atomic number and the atomic mass, you should be able to tell me the, uh, number of protons, electrons, neutrons, balance electrons. We've gone through that probably about a dozen times. I put it on the board. I put it on the board today. Everyone should know that at this point.

That's like a giveaway question. The periodic table of elements. You should know what that is. You know, it has all the elements on it. You know that the rows represent the number of electron shells.

The columns represent, uh, the number of valence electrons. The extreme right hand column, that's the inert gases and noble gases, uh, which don't interact with anywhere. So, uh, it's all straight phone stuff. You've gone through a whole bunch of times. You know that?

A couple of questions. Okay. You should know all about proteins. You know that proteins are made up of amino acids joined by peptide bonds, polypeptide chains, protein in there with 1 or polypeptide chains. Enzymes are proteins.

You should know that enzymes are protein. Do you know that proteins have nitrogen in them? We know that because the NH2, the amino group, uh, of the amino acids has nitrogen. We

know that the main component of the plasma membrane The principal components of

the plasma membrane are lipids (phospholipids and cholesterol),

proteins, and carbohydrate groups that are attached to some of the

lipids and proteins.is possible to, but there are proteins that are embedded. One of the

functions that we talked about was facilitating diffusion where a protein forms a channel. The molecules go in and out. facilitating diffusion where a protein forms a channel.

The molecules go in and out. In facilitated diffusion, molecules diffuse across

the plasma membrane with assistance from membrane proteins, such

as channels and carriers The protein, the primary structure yeah. What was the main

component of the falciparum? Anybody wanna tell? Anyone can say what it is?

Right. The phospholipid bilayer. And there are proteins embedded in it. Everything I say now is right from the exam. I'm reading the exam now.

So if I say it now, it's on the exam. Make sure you know it. Remember, the protein structure is very complicated. The primary structure is the sequence of the amino acids. Remember, there are about 20 amino acids, um, and they are like the limit of the alphabet.

the primary structure of a protein is defined as the sequence of amino

acids linked together to form a polypeptide chain. Each amino acid is

linked to the next amino acid through peptide bonds created during

the protein biosynthesis

They form on the primary structure. And then because of the high then they form bends the high that are the secondary structure. They get three-dimensional of the hydrogen bonds, tertiary structure. Mhmm. Then you have more than 1, uh, chain as a tertiary structure.

So the company has structure, but the but the primary structure is the sequence of amino acids. About 20 amino acids, um, half of them produced by the body. Which is what we call them that are not produced by the body? Essential. Essential.

Right. Exactly. Central. This is all right on the exam. So, you know, make sure you get it down.

Make sure you know it. Every day I'm saying that is right from the exam. The different projections from the cell, the, uh, flagellum is very long one. It can tell the sperm cell. Microvili doesn't resurface air. They do not move. They do not do they do not, uh, require energy. That's the brush border. The brush border is microvilli. They, uh, just increase surface area for more absorption. They do not utilize the energy. Cilia are a little lower than the microvilli. They do move things around. They do require energy. An d what's what's our energy molecule?ATP

What is what do you call the network in the cell that could be rough or smooth? Endoplasmic reticulum.

Multiple choice. You would have had it. Um, it could be rough or smooth. What's on the rough and the plasma continuum? Uh, ribosomes.

Sometimes the things are all related to each other. Sometimes they're completely unrelated. It's just like getting covered a lot of topics in one question. The function group COOH, what's that? Acid.

what's a domain and what's not a domain.There are three main domains: Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya.

Something that is not a domain would be a more specific classification, like a kingdom (such as Animalia or Plantae),.

can the energy be changed from one form to another? Yes or no? Yes. Transferred. Can be transferred from one body to another? Yes. Can it be created? No. Can it be destroyed? No. You got both conservation of energy. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed

What if we're the simple diffusion of water? Simple osmosis.
