ATP - (adenosine triphosphate) main energy source that cells use for most of their work. 1 nucleotide + 3 phosphate group makes it unstable. If loses phosphate group becomes ADP ATP is composed of - ribose (a sugar), adenine (a nitrogenous base), and three phosphate groups Coupled reactions - Energy releasing action usually in the form of ATP breakdown Release of ATP+P causes myosin to change shape and cause muscle movement What do plants and other living organisms need for food - Photosynt...

QBM Final Exam Questions And Answers With Complete Solutions What is the best representation of DNA/protein if you could see it? - answerMolecular surface model OSHA - answerOccupational Safety and Health Association - Must inform employees of potential hazards MSDS - answerMaterial Safety Data Sheet - Lists chemical's physical and chemical properties, toxic, carcinogenic - Describes proper handling Biosafety levels - answerBSL-1 = minimal hazards BSL-2 =potential hazardous organisms,...

What are sphingomyelins? - Sphingolipids where the head group is phosphocholine or phosphoethanolamine. What prevents cells from actually swelling? - It is effectively impossible for sodium to enter the cell (due to pump and lack of sodium channels). There is a high sodium ion concentration outside the cell which prevents water from entering in the cell Why would cells have a tendency to swell? - Because cytoplasm contains negatively charged proteins that cannot exit, so cells naturally ga...
