What is the scale used to measure the acidity or basicity of a solution?
What is the pH scale?
100
What general class of molecules contains a hydroxyl group?
What are alcohols?
100
What is one difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?
Prokaryotes- lack nucleus, no membrane-bound organelles, usually smaller
100
This type of bond refers to the electrostatic force of attraction between two oppositely charged atoms/molecules in which electrons are transferred.
What is an ionic bond?
100
What are the 4 types of small organic building blocks of the cell, and what do they make up?
fatty acids --> fats and membrane lipids, nucleotides --> nucleic acids, amino acids --> proteins, sugars --> polysaccharides
200
(Acidic or basic) 1 x 10^-3
What is acidic?
200
This general functional group is contained in both aldehydes and ketones.
What is a carbonyl group?
200
This is the aqueous component inside a cell that excludes organelles.
What is cytosol?
200
This type of bond is formed between two sugar monomers to form a disaccharide.
What is a glycosidic (ether) bond?
200
These nitrogenous bases that help to make up nucleotides are only one ring structures.
What are pyrimidines?
300
(Acidic or basic) 1 x 10^-11
What is basic?
300
Carboxyl + phosphate
What is a mixed acid anhydride?
300
What are the two different types of electron microscopy?
What are SEM (scanning electron microscopy) and TEM (transmission electron microscopy)?
300
What are the two types of covalent bonds? Think very generally.
What are polar and nonpolar?
300
This is the one component that a nucleotide has but a nucleoside lacks.
What is a phosphate group?
400
This donates H+ ions to a solution.
What is an acid?
400
Carboxyl + carboxyl
What is an acid anhydride?
400
Think microscopes. This is defined as the minimum distance that we can see things as two separate entities.
What is the limit of resolution?
400
This is a noncovalent electrostatic force of attraction between a partial positively charged hydrogen atom, which is part of a polar molecule, and another strongly electronegative atom (such as nitrogen or oxygen).
What is a hydrogen bond?
400
This type of fatty acid chain has a kink in it.
What is an unsaturated fatty acid?
500
When going from a pH of 4 to a pH of 5, by what factor (#) did you just decrease your [H+]?
What is 10?
500
What two functional groups are contained within an amino acid?
What are amino and carboxyl groups?
500
In order to see objects that are 0.2 micrometers (200 nm) or larger in size, we would most likely use this type of microscope.
What is a light microscope?
500
These types of bonds result in the synthesis of nucleic acids.
What are phosphodiester bonds?
500
What is the word that describes a phospholipid, with its polar (hydrophilic) head and nonpolar (hydrophobic) tails?
What is amphipathic?
