What is the main function of carbohydrates for living organisms?
Main source of energy for organisms and the break down of monosaccharides provides IMMEDIATE energy.
200
Who was then scientist to come up with the term "cells" after looking at cork through a microscope?
Robert Hooke
200
What are the two types of fermentation and give an example of each one.
Alcoholic (YEAST) and Lactic Acid (MUSCLES)
200
Give a correct example for each macromolecule.
Carbohydrate (Bread, wheat, potato, etc.) Protein (Meat, fingernails, enzymes, etc.) Lipids (fats, oils, steroids, etc.) Nucleic Acids (DNA, RNA)
300
What is the difference between unicellular and multicellular?
Unicellular organisms are only made of one cell. Multicellular organisms are made of many cells that have different jobs.
300
What does the Benedict's solution test for? Be specific.
Simple sugars, monosaccharides (carbohydrates).
300
Put the four levels of organization for multicellular organisms in order from simple to most complex. (a) cells, organs, tissues, organ systems (b) tissues, cells, organ systems, organs (c) cells, tissues, organs, organ systems (d) cells, tissue, organ systems, organs
(C) cells, tissues, organs, organ systems
300
Name the 3 things that affect the rate of photosynthesis.
Water, Temperature, and Intensity of Light
300
What organism(s) have to perform cellular respiration to survive?
EVERY LIVING THING!
400
Name two of the seven characteristics of living things.
Basic unit is the cell, reproduce, have DNA, Grow and Develop, use energy, respond to the environment, maintain a stable environment, and evolve
400
Describe which macromolecule makes up an enzyme. What is the function of an enzyme?
Proteins; Increase the rate of reaction
400
Which organelle would you compare to a doorway because of its ability to regulate what comes in and what goes out?
Cell membrane
400
What is the formula for photosynthesis?
6CO2 + 6H2O -(sunlight)-> C6H12O6 + 6O2
400
What are three different structures in a plant cell that are different from an animal cell?
Chloroplasts, Cell Wall, Large Vacuole
500
What is the difference between adhesion and cohesion?
Cohesion is the attraction of molecules that are alike. Adhesion is the attraction of molecules that are different.
500
Name two factors that affect enzyme activity.
pH and Temperature are the main ones. Cofactors, coenzymes, and enzyme inhibitors are other ways as well.
500
If I have a cell that is 67% water in a beaker that is 84% water, which way will the water flow and what will happen to the cell?
Through osmosis, the water will flow from high to low concentration and come into the cell from the beaker. This means that the cell will swell up!
500
What are the parts of ATP? Where would you break the molecule to release energy?
Adenosine, Ribose, and Phosphates (3); At the last phosphate bond
500
Why do we see plants as green?
The light that is absorbed by the plant has the whole spectrum of colors. The only color not absorbed in the green parts of plants is the color green. Since it is not absorbed, it is reflected back at us and that is why we see it as green.
