Peroxisomes
Single stranded binding proteins keep the seperated strands apart so that nucleotides can bind
DNA gyrase moves in advance of helicase and relieves strain and prevents the DNA supercoiling again
Each strand of parent DNA is used as template for the synthesis of the new strands. Synthesis always occurs in 5'-> 3' direction on each new strand.
Leads to formation of okasaki fragments
To synthesise a new strand first an RNA primer is synthesized on the parent DNA using RNA primase
Next DNA polymerase III adds the nucleotides (to the 3' end) added according to the complementary base pairing rules; adenine pairs with thymine and cytosine pairs with guanine.
Nucleotides added are in the form of as deoxynucleoside triphosphate. Two phosphate groups are released from each nucleotide and the energy is used to join the nucleotides in to a growing DNA chain.
DNA polymerase I then removes the RNA primers and replaces them with DNA
DNA ligase next joins Okazaki fragments on the lagging strand. Because each new DNA molecule contains both a parent and newly synthesized strand DNA replication is said to be semiconservative.

1) Resting State: most Na+ channels closed, and most but not all K+ channels are also closed
2) Depolarization: some Na+ channels open, leading to inflow, depolarizing membrane; if it reaches threshold voltage, action potetnial is trigger and fulfilled
3) Rising Phase: K+ channels remain closed; Na+ influx makes inside of membrane positive
4) Falling Phase: Na+ Channels become inactive; K+ channels open, making inside of cell negative again
5) Undershoot: Na+ Channels close; some K+ channels open; returns to resting state with the help of Na+/K+ pump
Repolarization: as the positive charge leaves the cell, inside starts to get less positive
Hyperpolarization: inside of the cell becomes more negative than resting membrane potential
opening of gated K+ channels; INSIDE MORE NEGATIVE
Depolarization: reduction in the magnitude of the membrane potential
opening of gated Na+ channels; INSIDE LESS NEGATIVE

Phagocytosis: when a cell engulfs large food particles/other cells by extending part of its membrane out
leads to becoming a food vacuole, digeswted afyer fusing with lysosomes
Exocytosis: transport vesicles migrate to the membrane, fuse, and release their contents
used in secretory cells to export products
occurs when active transport of a solute indirectly drives transport of other substances
Example Na+/K+ Pump: abundance of Na+ outside the cell & abundance of K+ inside; to even out, goes against the concentration gradient by 3 Na+ transported out the cell and 2 K+ inside the cell
Facilitated Diffusion: passive transport aided by proteins to help diffuse across the membrane
Carried out by channel and carrier proteins
Carrier: undergo a subtle change in the shape that translocates the solute-binding site across the membrane
Channel: provide corridors or channels that allow a specific molecule or ion to cross the membrane
