100
The smallest unit of matter that still retains the properties of an element.
What is an atom?
100
You get this when carbon bonds with 4 Hydrogens.
What is a hydrocarbon?
100
The cell is the simplest collection of matter that can live.
What is the cell theory?
100
Is the most abundant lipid in the plasma membrane.
What is phospholipid?
100
The partial breakdown of sugars that occurs without oxygen.
What is fermentation?
200
The outer most layer of electrons.
What is the valence shell?
200
Chemical groups important in the Chemistry of Life affecting the molecules function by participating in chemical reactions.
What is a Functional Group?
200
This type of microscope is used to view the surface of cells.
What is a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM)?
200
It prevents phospholipids from packing tightly together, keeping them in liquid form.
What is an unsaturated fatty acid tail kink?
200
The complete breakdown of organic molecules using oxygen.
What is aerobic respiration?
300
The strongest kind of chemical bond, in which 2 atoms store one or more pairs of outer shell electrons.
What is covalent bond?
300
A specialized macromolecule that speeds up chemical reactions in a cell.
What is an enzyme?
300
A cell that has a nucleoid.
What is prokaryotic cell?
300
A membrane protein that is embedded in the plasma membrane
What is an integral protein?
300
A chemical reaction that transfers electrons between reactants.
What is redox reaction?
400
It interacts or bonds with water.
What is a hydrophilic substance?
400
A reaction that makes polymers.
What is a dehydration reaction?
400
An organelle that is not a part of the endomembrane system, used in energy production, and is present in both in plant and animal cells
What is a mitochondria?
400
A type of transport protein that has a hydrophilic channel that certain molecules or ions can use to travel through.
What is a channel protein?
400
It is the stage of cellular respiration that happens in the mitochondrial matrix.
What is Citric Acid Cycle?
500
It accepts H+ when it is in over abundance in a solution, and it deposits H+ when it is depleted in a solution.
What is a buffer?
500
The monomer of a nucleic Acid.
What is nucleotide?
500
It is a channel that connects the plasma membranes of neighboring plant cells.
What is a plasmodesmata?
500
It is where a transport vesicle migrates to the membrane and fuses with it then releases its contents.
What is exocytosis?
500
It is a type of anaerobe that can survive using either fermentation or cellular respiration.
What is a facultative anaerobe?
