Water & Chemistry
This type of bonding occurs between water molecules
Covalent Bonding
The biological approach to understand what happens when simple structures form complex structures, or emergent properties
Systems Biology
List the differences between a Theory and a Law
A theory attempts to explain the "why" behind an observation, while a law simply describes the "what" that happens.
What was the purpose of the Miller Urey Experiment?
To explore whether the compounds necessary for life could form from simple molecules on Early Earth
Structural Polysaccharide, falls under carbohydrates, found in plants and is sometimes used as stitches for humans
Chitin
A negatively charged ion
Anion
The science of classification
Taxonomy
The group in an experiment that doesn't get manipulated, is used as a baseline to compare.
Control Group
removing a water molecule to form a new bond
What is glycerol?
A three carbon alcohol with a hydroxyl group attached to each carbon.
Water sticks to glass because of
Adhesion
Explain Descent with Modification
Organisms came from a common ancestor and natural selection caused changes in species as they evolved.
_____ starts with a general principle and then uses that premise to draw specific conclusions. For example, if the premise is "all spiders have eight legs", then the conclusion that tarantulas have eight legs is reasonable.
Deduction
adding a water molecule to break a bond
hydrolysis
What are essential amino acids? List 3 of them.
threonine, histidine, methionine, tryptophan, phenylalanine, lysine, valine, leucine, isoleucine
Essential amino acids cannot be synthesized in the body so they must be obtained through diet.
What are the building blocks of atoms called? List all three.
Protons, Neutrons, Elections
The Genome
___ states that all living organisms are made of cells.
Cell Theory
____ is an ____ that begins digestion by hydrolyzing starch molecules to form maltose
Amylase, enzyme
this protein structure is made up of alpha helixes and beta pleated sheets
secondary structure
What is the valence shell of an atom? What are valence electrons?
The valence shell is the outermost shell of an atom? Valence electrons are the electrons in that shell, They determine the atoms charge.
List the seven Properties of Life
Order, Reproduction, Evolutionary Adaptation
Regulation, Response to environment, energy processing, growth and development
List the steps of the Scientific Method In Order
Observation -> Question -> Hypothesis -> Prediction -> Experiment -> Analysis -> Report Results
A disaccaride is formed when a ______ joins two monosaccharides. This bonding is _____ and is called a _______.
dehydration reaction, covalent, glycosidic
Define an enzyme and provide a real-world example
an enzyme is a substance produced by a living organism which acts as a catalyst to bring about a specific biochemical reaction.
