World of Bio/Science as a Process
This is the study of life.
What is an atom?
This is a bond that forms when two atoms share one or more pairs of electrons.
What is a covalent bond?
This gets formed when you bond two monosaccharides together.
What is a disaccharide?
This is the main function of the nucleic acids.
What is store and transfer genetic information?
What is sexual reproduction?
What are the reactants?
This organic compound is made from a long chain of amino acids----insulin is an example.
What is protein?
This is the storage form of glucose in plants----it consists of a long chain of glucose molecules.
What is starch?
This is a physical or chemical change in the environment which cause an organism to respond.
What is a stimulus?
This is what you call it when atoms of the same element have different numbers of neutrons.
What are isotopes?
When the products of a reaction contain less energy than the reactants, it can be said that energy was lost. this is known as an ___________________ reaction.
What is exothermic?
This is a protein molecule that acts as a biological catalyst----it speeds up chemical reactions that take place in living organisms.
What is an enzyme?
These compounds are made of mostly carbon atoms. Proteins and carbohydrates are two examples.
What are organic compounds?
This is what you call organisms that are made up of more than one cell.
What is multicellular?
This is what is contained inside the nucleus of the atom. And then, this is what is contained in the electron cloud.
What are protons, neutrons in the nucleus and electrons in the electron cloud?
This is the attractive force between molecules of a single substance. For example, water......it's what creates surface tension.
A phospholipid has two ends---one end is attracted to water. This is called the ______________ end.
What is hydrophilic?
This organic molecule is a large component of the cell membrane---it forms a bilayer.
What is a phospholipid (I would accept lipid)?
This is the maintenance of stable internal conditions despite changing environmental conditions.
What is homeostasis?
This is what you call an element with a filled outer orbital. Like Neon or Helium it is not very reactive.
What is inert?
This is a substance with a pH of <7. Orange juice is a good example.
What is an acid?
DNA and RNA are made up of monomers called this.
What are nucleotides?
This is what you call a bond that holds two amino acids together.
What is a peptide bond?
