100
The smallest biological unit exhibiting all necessary functions of life.
What is a cell?
100
This is how many valence electrons an atom needs to be stable.
What is 8 (or 2 for H and He)?
100
Water has this quality because the oxygen atom has an unequal share of electrons.
What is polar?
100
Carbon is called this because it forms four bonds.
What is tetravalent?
100
This is how polymers are taken apart.
What is hydrolysis?
200
A cell that contains no nucleus or membrane-bound organelles.
What is a prokaryotic cell?
200
These four elements make up 96% of all living matter.
What are hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon?
200
Water exhibits many unique properties because it forms these bonds.
What are hydrogen bonds?
200
These types of isomers are mirror images of one another.
What are enantiomers?
200
There are 20 of these, and they only differ in one group.
What is an amino acid?
300
These include kingdoms plantae, fungi, and animalia.
What is the domain Eukarya?
300
These make up an atom's atomic mass.
What are protons and neutrons?
300
This property makes it difficult to break the surface of a pool of water.
What is surface tension?
300
This functional group is a combination of the carbonyl and hydroxyl functional groups.
What is carboxyl?
300
This involves the assemblage of two or more polypeptides.
What is quaternary structure?
400
As more of a material is produced, a signal is sent back up the pathway which stops production of the material.
What is a negative feedback mechanism?
400
These bonds involve each atom sharing two sets of electrons.
What is a double bond/ double covalent bond?
400
These decrease the amount of H+ ions in solution.
What is a base?
400
This is the only hydrophobic functional group.
What is methyl?
400
These include a 5 carbon sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base.
What is a nucleotide?
500
The two most specific categories of taxonomy, they provide the scientific name of an organism.
What are genus and species?
500
This is formed when an atom loses electrons.
What is a cation?
500
This concentration of H+ ions gives a pH of 4.
What is 1 X 10^-4?
500
This is a carbonyl group at the end of a carbon chain.
What is an aldehyde?
500
These bonds are what make starch and cellulose very different.
What are alpha and beta glycosidic linkages/ bonds?
