Describe hydrophobic and hydrophilic interactions
What are hydrophobic means "water fearing" it will not mix with water or other polar solvents, hydrophilic means "water loving" they will mix with water and other polar solvents

What is a methyl group
200
The bonds associated with all of the macromolecules
What are Carbohydrates (Glycosidic), Lipids (ester linkage), Nucleic acids (phosphodiester bond), Protein (peptide bond)?
300
What are the hierarchical divisions from smallest to largest
What are atoms, molecules, organelles, cells, tissues, organs & organ systems, organisms, populations, communities, ecosystems.
300
The difference between isotopes and ions
What are isotopes is a difference in the number of neutrons, ions is a difference in electrons.
300
If given the [H+] how would you find the pOH
What is -log[H+]=pH, then 14-pH= pOH

400
Can an organism produce offspring with another organism of the same genus
What is yes?
400
Define bond capacity
What is the number of electrons that an atom can lose, gain, or share to make a chemical bond?
400
Determine how you would find molarity
Mol of solute divided by L solution
400
Isomers name the three types and give the definition
What is the Structural isomer have different covalent arrangements of their atoms, cis-trans isomers have the same covalent bonds but differ in spatial arrangements, enantiomers are mirror images of each other
400
Purines vs. Pyrimidines
Purines are a double-ringed structure (Adenine, Guanine), Pyrimidines are a single-ringed structure (Cytosine, Thymine, Uracil).
