Study Notes
Cellular Structure and Function
- DNA is found in a membrane-enclosed nucleus in eukaryotic cells.
- In prokaryotic cells, a single circular molecule of DNA is found near the center of the cell region called the nucleoid.
Biochemical Reactions
- The sum total of all biochemical reactions in a living organism is called metabolism.
- A series of consecutive biochemical reactions used to convert a starting material into an end product is called a metabolic pathway.
- A metabolic pathway generates a final product through a series of consecutive biochemical reactions.
Cell Components
- The water-based material that lies between the nucleus and the outer membrane of a eukaryotic cell is called cytoplasm.
- Minute structures within the cytoplasm of a cell are called organelles.
Biosynthesis
- The process where small biochemical molecules are joined together to form larger ones, requiring energy to proceed, is called biosynthesis.
- Biosynthesis involves the joining of small biochemical molecules to form larger ones.
