Chemical bonds, Cell Structures, and Functions

The process of cellular respiration converts glucose and oxygen into carbon dioxide, water, and energy in the form of ATP. This complex biochemical pathway includes several stages, beginning with glycolysis in the cytosol, where glucose is broken down to produce ATP and NADH through substrate-level phosphorylation.

Regulation of Gene Expression

RNA processing

Proofreading

exonucleolease function
nucleotide excision repair

1. Enzymes detects and repairs damaged DNA

2. Nuclease enzyme cuts damaged DNA at two points and removes it

3. Repair synthesis occurs and DNA poly fills missing nucleotides using undamaged template strand

4. DNA ligase seals the end of the new DNA with the old DNA

Translation

Eukaryotes


A small ribosomal unit attaches to 5'cap
tRNA carrying amino acid Methionine attaches to start codon AUG

Prokaryotes

Occurs in cytoplasm

A small ribosomal unit attaches to Shine-Delgarno sequence
tRNA carrying amino acid formyl-Methionine (f-Met) attaches to start codon AUG

Large ribosomal unit attaches to mRNA consisting of A site (entry), P site (attaching) and E site (exit)

Another tRNA arrives at the A site carrying another amino acid and attaches to next codon following AUG

The second tRNA moves to P site and the amino acid of the first tRNA attaches while the first tRNA moves to E site

A new tRNA arrives at the A site with and moves to the P site attaching a new amino acid, forming a polypeptide chain

Elongation occurs until a stop codon (UAG, UAA or UGA) is reached

A release factor binds to the stop codon at the A site and acts a cleavage releasing the polypeptide from the last tRNA

The polypeptide released undergoes a modification process in which it is folded into a mature protein structure and translocated via mitochondria, ER lumen, plasma membrane, or lysosome.

The small and large ribosomal unit dismantles and awaits the next translation mRNA sequence

Action Potential In A Neuron

Step 1 - Resting Phase

The activation gates on the Na+ and K+ channels

are closed, and the membrane’s resting potential is maintained.

Step 2 - Depolarization

A stimulus opens the

activation gates on some Na+ channels. Na+

influx through those channels depolarizes the

membrane. If the depolarization reaches the

threshold, it triggers an action potential.

Step 3 - Rising Phase

Depolarization opens the activation

gates on most Na+ channels, while the

K+ channels’ activation gates remain

closed. Na+ influx makes the inside of

the membrane positive with respect

to the outside.

Step 4 - Falling Phase

The inactivation gates on

most Na+ channels close,

blocking Na+ influx. The

activation gates on most

K+ channels open,

permitting K+ efflux

which again makes

the inside of the cell

negative.

Step 5 - Undershoot

Both gates of the Na+ channels

are closed, but the activation gates on some K+

channels are still open. As these gates close on

most K+ channels, and the inactivation gates

open on Na+ channels, the membrane returns to

its resting state.
