Unit 1
The bond between two atoms with equal electronegativity.
What is a non-polar covalent bond?
The organelle that is responsible for cellular respiration.
What is the mitochondria?
Transport that requires input of energy.
What is active transport?
When this value is negative the reaction is spontaneous.
what is free energy/Gibbs free energy?
The class of biomolecule that has hydrophobic properties and is used for energy storage.
What are lipids?
The organelle that is responsible for protein synthesis.
What is the ribosome?
The type of transport when a molecule moves from high to low concentration across a cell membrane while using a protein.
What is facilitated diffusion?
The amount energy that must be overcome in order for a chemical reaction to take place.
What is activation energy?
The structure formed from backbone functional groups of polypeptides.
What is secondary structure?
The organelle that is responsible for lipid synthesis.
What is Smooth ER?
A protein that is on the surface of a membrane.
What is a peripheral protein?
The type of reaction when there is a release of energy, usually from the breaking of a bond.
what is exergonic?
The form of glucose that is used in structural carbohydrates.
What is beta glucose?
The organelle that is responsible for glycosylation.
What is the golgi complex/apparatus?
The process in which the cell engulfs larger molecules with its membrane.
What is endocytosis?
These reactions are endergonic and usually result in the creation of biomolecule polymers.
What are anabolic reactions?
The bonds that hold together the double helix in DNA.
What are hydrogen bonds?
The complex created by microtubules, micro filaments, and intermediate filaments.
What is the cyctoskeleton.
Molecules are moved against their concentration gradient using a cotransport with another molecule or charged ion.
What is secondary active transport?
These enzymes change the shape of other enzymes and biomolecules through phosphorylation.
What are Kinases?
