Introduction to Biology
The three domains of life.
What are bacteria, archaea, and eukarya?
The pH of a neutral solution.
What is 7?
This bond combines two amino acids together.
What is a peptide bond?
The organelle where DNA is found in a cell.
What is the nucleus?
The molecule that makes up the majority of the cell membrane.
What are phospholipids?
The types of cells don't have a nucleus.
What are prokaryotes?
A way to describe molecules that do not mix well with water.
What is hydrophobic?
The monomers found in carbohydrates.
What are monosaccharides?
The garbage disposal/recycling center organelle of the cell.
What are lysosomes?
The movement of water towards high concentration of solutes.
What is osmosis?
The types of cells that do have a nucleus.
What are eukaryotes?
The type of bond that causes an attraction between two water molecules.
What are hydrogen bonds?
The bond that causes base pairing in DNA and RNA.
What are hydrogen bonds?
The powerhouse of the cell.
What is the mitochondria?
Movement of molecules from high to low concentration without the help of a protein.
What is diffusion?
A characteristic of living things. (many possible answers)
What is uses energy, reproduces, made of cells, evolves, stores genetic information?
The type of bond that produces cations and anions.
What is an ionic bond?
The type of chemical reaction that would break apart a phosphodiester bond.
The organelle that produces lipids for the cell.
What is the smooth ER?
Movement of molecules from low to high concentration.
What is active transport?
The correct way to write an organism's name in binomial nomenclature. (describe the formatting)
What is capital genus, species, all in italics?
The atomic mass of an atom that has 6 protons, 6 neutrons, and 6 electrons.
What is 12?
This type of protein structure is caused by interactions between R-groups.
What is tertiary structure?
The thickest filament found in the cytoskeleton.
What are microtubules?
The two characteristics of fats that would increase membrane permeability (two-part answer)
What are short and unsaturated lipids?
