Notes for my MCAT Review in Biology
Generalized chemical equation that summarizes
Photosynthesis.
6 H2O + 6 CO2 ==> C6H12O6 + 6 CO2
In the presence of Light, Chlorophyl and
enzymes.
Dehydration Synthesis> - process where small molecules are bonded to make a larger molecule, and water is released. Example - 2 glucose (a monosaccharide) molecules are linked to form maltose (a disaccharide)
Hydrolysis - catabolic reaction that splits apart molecules and consumes water.
Antigen- A foreign substance(usually protein or polysaccharide) that induces an immune response and interacts with specific antibodies).
Antibody - a protein that is produced by lymphocytes in response to a foreign antigen; antibodies bind to antigens and cause agglutination.
LinkageGenes which are inherited together because they are located on the same chromosome; they do not independently assort.
Crossing Over - During meiosis, homologous chromosomes exchange genes; results in genetic recombination.
3 Phase of Cellular Respiration
1. Glycolysis
2. Krebs Cycle
3. Electron Transport Chain
3 Factors affecting enzyme function.
1. pH
2. Temperature
3. Relative amounts of enzyme and substrate
Antigen- A foreign substance(usually protein or polysaccharide) that induces an immune response and interacts with specific antibodies).
