I have a bio quiz on Monday and I'm working through the study guide. A few things I'm having difficulty remembering and finding in my book are: How do H^+ gradients create potential energy?

What is oxygen's role in electron transport phosphorylation, and why is the production of metabolic water so important?

Where in the cell do transcription and translation occur?

How can different types of mutation affect a protein sequence?

Because protons will always move from higher concentration through to lower concentration. Their movement across a membrane will generate a charge. Electrochemical gradient.

It's the final electron acceptor. And i'm pretty sure you mean electron transport chain.

Where in the cell do transcription and translation occur?

Transcription: DNA->RNA in nucleus. Translation: RNA-> Protein in ribosomes or ER.

How can different types of mutation affect a protein sequence?

Silent mutation: no effect
Frame shift mutation: you're fucked.
Point mutation: AA change.

Undergrad bio? Seems like a shotgun of a lot of molecular/cell bio.
