Exam Coverage
Exam coverage for GMS 5057 - Medical Cell Biology - Test 2 includes
foundational cellular and molecular biology concepts relevant to
medical science. It focuses on cell structure and function, membrane
transport mechanisms, organelles, cellular metabolism, and energy
production (ATP generation). The exam also evaluates understanding
of DNA, RNA, protein synthesis, gene expression, and basic cell
signaling pathways.
Emphasis is placed on applying cellular biology principles to human
health and disease, understanding how cellular processes maintain
homeostasis, and recognizing how disruptions in cell function
contribute to pathology. 🧬📘
,What are regulatory DNA
They are genes that control when, where, and how much genes are
expressed
Multicellular eukaryotic organisms that sexually reproduce arise from
single cell (zygote)
Cell function
interpret hereditary DNA and express information to coordinate
synthesis of molecules that assemble into complex structures that
form more cells.
,Monomers of DNA and RNA
Nucleotide
components of a nucleotide
sugar, phosphate, nitrogenous base
The backbone of a nucleotide has what types of chemical bonds
covalent
, The nucleotide bases interact with eachother via what types of bonds
Hydrogen
Central Dogma of Molecular Biology
- DNA -> RNA -> Protein
- Genes in DNA and hereditary information is expressed.
What are enzymes
proteins with catalytic sites that catalyze specific chemical reactions
