Bonds in Biology
Nonpolar covalent bonds
What is a pair of electrons shared equally by 2 atoms?
What is a polar covalent molecule composed of?
What is 2 Hydrogen and 1 oxygen molecule?
Name four categories of organic molecules which form the basis of all living things.
What is the four categories of living things are carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids?
What is the difference between polymers and monomers?
What is polymers are large molecules that are made up of many similar molecular building blocks, on the other hand, monomers are the building blocks.
Monosaccharides
What is carbohydrate monomers?
Pair of electrons shared unequally by 2 atoms
What is Polar covalent bonds?
Polarity
What is an uneven distribution of charge throughout a molecule?
Compositional elements of nucleic acid
What is C, H, O, N, P?
What is the monomer of carbohydrates?
What are saccarides?
Polysaccharides
What is complex carbs (polymers)?
Most common weak bond
What is a Hydrogen bond?
What is the difference between cohesion and adhesion?
What is cohesion is water molecules that are attracted to one another through hydrogen bonding, while adhesion is water molecules allured to other polar molecules through hydrogen bonding?
Compositional elements of proteins
What is C, H, O, N (also S in some R groups)?
Hydrolysis reactions
What is the reverse of dehydration reactions?
What are the bonds between monosaccharides called?
What is glycosidic bonds?
Hydrogen bonding.
What is an attraction between a partially positive H in one H2O molecule to a partially negative O in another H2O?
Universal solvent
What is water as it dissolves ionic and polar covalent solutes?
What are organic molecules composed of?
Carbon with attached Hydrogens.
What is the transformation of monomers to polymers?
What is polymerization?
Why don't lipids dissolve in water?
What is because all lipids are nonpolar?
Hydrophobic
Occurs wherever
an -OH exists in a larger
molecule
What is a molecular attraction?
How are the rungs of the ladder of DNA kept together?
What is they are kept together by hydrogen bonds between the nitrogenous bases?
How are the building blocks of organic molecules like bricks?
What is they are like bricks because they come together to form the structure of life?
Dehydration synthesis(Condensation)
What is the design of larger molecules from smaller monomers where a water molecule is released?
What is the difference between saturated and unsaturated?
What is all single C-C bonds; solid at room temp, while unsaturated is one or more double or triple C-C bonds; liquid at room temp?
