Name for the polymer of nucleic acids.
What is DNA and RNA?
This type of molecule has a partial negative charge on one side of the molecule and a partial positive charge on the other side of the molecule.
What is a polar molecule?
The monomer of carbohydrates.
What are monosaccharides?
A type of protein that speeds up chemical reactions.
What are Enzymes?
During our lab, Sudan III was used to test?
What is the presence of lipids?
Two major functions of a lipid.
What are long term energy (stored energy), insulation, protection, structure, and to make cell membrane?
These lipids are found in the cell membrane.
What are phospholipids?
Which group number is the alkaline earth metals?
What is group 2?
Explain the differences between cellulose, starch and glycogen.
Starch is how plants store energy
Glycogen is how animals store sugars
Cellulose are sugars used for structure
This property of water causes water to stick to other charged molecules. This is useful during translocation of water through xylem vessels of plants because it sticks to the inside of these vessels. Without this property, we would not have plants as we know it today, and we probably would not exist like we do today. (not looking for polarity)
What is adhesion?
List 4 unique properties of water.
What is cohesion, adhesion, high specific heat, less dense as a solid, great solvent?
What are the three parts of a nucleotide?
What are phosphate group, sugar, nitrogenous base?
Water is a good temperature regulator because of this property, as it takes a large change in heat energy to change the temperature of water. Because of this, water temperature does not readily change.
What is high specific heat?
Biological macromolecule polymers are build by this type of chemical reaction.
What is a dehydration synthesis?
What type of bond links amino acids together in proteins?
Peptide bond
Electrons are shared in this type of chemical bond.
What is a covalent bond?
Describe each level of protein structure.
Primary
Secondary
Tertiary
Quaternary
Describe the isotope Oxygen - 18
What is 8 protons, 10 neutrons, 8 electrons.
What is the difference between a saturated and unsaturated lipid?
Saturated is solid at room temp, no double bond
Unsaturated is liquid at room temp, double bonds
