Today’s Outline/Announcements • Study Notes 6a Due. • Take up exam: Thursday • View exam on Friday between 2-4pm in C-4. • Field Trip Sign-up. • Course Recap • Membranes transport and proteins • How do proteins make energy? • How are proteins made? • Introduction to DNA • Worksheet to follow along with today’s material.
Recap – Membranes and Proteins(Unit 1) • What are proteins? • Where are proteins made? • What happens to them after they are made? • What do membrane proteins do?
Recap – Proteins and Energy(Unit 2) • What is energy? • How is energy made in plants? • How is energy made in animals? • What role to proteins play in the production of energy?

Unit 3 – What Will You Learn? • Structure of DNA/RNA. • How is DNA replicated? • How is RNA made? • How is RNA processed? • How does RNA make protein? • What happens to proteins after they are made?
DNA Factoids • Humans have 46 chromosomes. • Our 46 chromosomes have 3.2 billion base pairs. • 99.9% of your base pair sequence is identical to mine. • All living organisms on the planet have DNA. • We have ~24,000 genes.
DNA Factoids • If stretched end-to-end, the DNA in 1 chromosome would stretch to ~ 2 inches. • If tied together and stretched out, all the DNA in 1 cell would stretch to 6 feet! • All the DNA in our body, if stretched out, could wrap around the earth 5 million times; it would reach the sun and back 70 times. (50 trillionths of an inch wide)

What is a nucleotide? A molecule with a nitrogenous base, a ribose molecule and one or more phosphate groups.
ATP – Adenosine Triphosphate ATP is a type of nucleotide … more specifically:a nucleoside triphosphate (or NTP) High energy bonds! Campbell 8e Fig. 8.8

Deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs) are bonded to DNA phosphodiesterbonds.
Two types of bonds hold DNA together:1. Phosphodiester 2. Hydrogen bonds

Application Question: Red Blood Cells If you were to study red blood cells you might come across the claim that they have no DNA (or organelles!) – they are essentially membranous sacs filled with a protein called hemoglobin. • Given what you know about the composition of DNA, how could you test this claim. Hint: Hershey and Chase
DNA’s structure naturally lends itself to being replicated!!
DNA Strands Are Templates for DNA Synthesis Watson and Crick suggested that the existing strands of DNA served as a template (pattern) for the production of new strands. Biologists then proposed three alternative hypotheses: • Semiconservative replication. • Conservative replication. • Dispersive replication.
The Meselson-Stahl Experiment • Meselson and Stahl designedan experiment to provide more information about whether one of these hypotheses was correct.
