Chapter 2: The Chemical Context of Life
This is the sharing of two bonds. It includes polar and nonpolar bonds.
What is covalent bonds?
The amount of bonds carbon can create.
What is four bonds?
This biological molecule is technically not a macromolecule.
What is a lipid?
This contains most of the genetic material in a cell.
What is a nucleus?
This makes up a bilayer membrane.
What is a phospholipid?
This is the transfer of electrons or when a cation or an anion bond together.
What is an ionic bond?
This is the number of carbon function groups.
What is 7?
This is the polymer for carbohydrates.
What is a polysaccharide?
What is the endoplasmic reticulum?
This describes how cell membranes control the flow of substances in and out of the cell.
What is selective permeability?
What are salt crystals?
This is the same molecular formula but different structures and properties. This type in particular has a different covalent arrangement of atoms.
What are structural isomers?
Nucleotides and carbohydrates have this kind of base.
What is sugar?
There are two faces of the Golgi apparatus. One side is the "receiving" side and the other is the "shipping" side.
What is cis face and trans face?
This describes the diffusion of a substance down its concentration gradient without the involvement of energy.
What is passive transport?
This is the slight attraction of opposite forces between non-covalent interactions.
What carbon functional group is NH2?
What is an amino group?
These are the two base types to a nucleotide.
What are purines and pyrimidines?
This is what makes the endomembrane system interconnected.
What are vesicles?
This type of transport creates electrochemical gradients across membranes.
What is active transport?
Draw the structural formula for C4H6O2.
What carbon function group is a structural component of nucleic acids?
What is a phosphate group?
This is the structure of a protein.
What is a amino group, carboxyl group, and a side chain?
These cell components were once able to function on their own, but now are a part of the cell.
What are mitochondria and chloroplasts?
This type of transport occurs in the electron transport chain.
What is cotransport?
