(Show complete amino acid) 7.4.6 What is the role of “polysomes” or polyribosomes in the process of translation? 7.4.7 what is the difference in roles for the free ribosomes versus the ribsomes bound to the ER? 7. 5.1 Explain the four levels of protein structure and why each is significant. A diagram may be useful. 7.5.2 What is the difference between globular and fibrous proteins? Give an example of each. 7.5.3 What is the significance of polar and non-polar amino acids 7.5.4 State four functions of proteins, giving a named example of each. 7.6.1 What do enzymes do? Use examples. 7.6.2 Contrast the “lock and key” and “induced fit” model of enzyme activity. 7.6.3 What do enzymes do in terms of activation energy to speed chemical reactions? Genetic Engineering 1. What are Restriction Enzymes? Explain where they come from and how they cut DNA. 2. If the same restriction enzyme, such as EcoR1 is used to cut two separate pieces of DNA, why will the two fragments stick together? 3. How does Gel-Electrophoresis work and what is it used for? 4. How is electrophoresis done? 5. Use a simulated electrophoresis gel to match a child with parents, or a suspect to a crime scene, such as shown in notes of class handouts. 6. what is a DNA plasmid? How did we obtain and use plasmid DNA in our electrophoresis lab? 7. Explain the cause of Tay sacs disease or Cystic Fibrosis.
