The four most frequently occurring elements in living things
What are carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen
100
A six carbon monosaccharide used as source of chemical energy for living organisms; Hint: Far East Movement claims to be fly like this.
What is Glucose (G6 :-)
100
Two molecules that we studied that have a carboxylic acid group in the monomer structure.
What are fatty acids and amino acids (hmmm...what do these terms have in common?)
100
The three molecules that make up a DNA nucleotide
What are phosphate, deoxyribose, nitrogenous base
100
New strands of nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) can only be made in this direction.
What is 5' to 3'
200
The five other key elements (according to IBO) that are needed by living organisms.
What is sulphur, phosphorous, iron, sodium, and calcium
200
Three disaccharides
What are sucrose, maltose, and lactose
200
The type of bond that connects two amino acids in a dipeptide
What is peptide
200
In complementary base pairing, this is the base that guanine always pairs with.
What is cytosine
200
This enzyme is responsible for unwinding the double helix and separating the two template strands by breaking the hydrogen bonds between the bases...otherwise known as unzipping your genes :-)
What is helicase
300
What type of bond connects the hydrogen atoms to the oxygen atom in a water molecule?
What is polar covalent
300
Starches are broken down into disaccharides through this process. Hint: Water is required!
What is hydrolysis
300
The molecule that fatty acids connect with to form a triglyceride.
What is glycerol
300
This type of bond connects nucleotides in a single strand
What is covalent
300
This enzyme come after helicase and lays down RNA nucleotides to start the new strand.
What is primase
400
The high boiling point of water, surface tension, cohesion and adhesion are all a result of this intermolecular force.
What is hydrogen bonding
400
The condensation of two molecules of glucose will produce these two molecules
What are maltose and water
400
This type of molecule is used for energy storage, thermal insulation, and buoyancy
What is lipids
400
In a nucleotide this is the carbon that the phosphate is connected to.
What is 5'
400
This enzyme forms covalent, phosphodiester bonds to connect the Okazaki fragments formed on the lagging strand.
What is ligase
500
Water is a good transport medium because of these properties
What is solvent
500
Excess glucose is converted into this in mammals and stored in this organ (name the molecule and the organ)
What are glycogen and liver
500
In terms of energy storage, these molecule are insoluble (bad for transport), but gives you more bang for your buck...in fact it holds twice as much energy per GRAM than it's main energy-yielding competitor!
What are lipids
500
These are the DNA nucleotides that are purines
What is Adenine and Guanine (PU AG!)
500
This enzyme adds new nucleotides to the growing strand by helping to form a covalent bond between the phosphate of the new nucleotide and this exposed carbon on the growing strand. (you need to name the enzyme and the carbon)
