Eukaryotic vs. DNA replication: parental strands serve as template
Eukaryotic vs. DNA replication: Single origin of replication
Eukaryotic vs. DNA replication: Multiple origins of replication
Eukaryotic vs. DNA replication: DNA polymerase III creates leading and lagging strand
Eukaryotic vs. DNA replication: DNA polymerases delta and epsilon create lagging and
leading strands repectively
Eukaryotic vs. DNA replication: Associated with supercoiling
: transcription and translation are coupled (RNA are preformed no phtysical separtion
Eukaryotic vs. DNA replication: Associated with supercoliing and telomere shortening
Topoisomerase I
Topoisomerase II
fluroquinolones will work on actively dividing cells on gyrase
Telomere shorter= the older you are; but some cells have telomerase which are able to synthesize
where telomerases are active?

FA are stored as… in adipocytes
What promotes TAG mobilization in adipocytes
FA oxidation occurs in…
FA oxidation occurs in 3 steps
Why called b-oxidation
*4 reactions of b-oxidation
*what are the 3 ketone bodies
excessive acetyl coA
ketone bodies can be used by two organs as metabolic fuel
where are odd numbered FA found
odd number 7 acetyl 7 nad 7 fadh2 and 1 propionate=>
oxidation of unsat FA
FA synthesis occurs
acetyl coA will enter TCA when energy is needed, excess will be stored
