Name 2 living things cells are found in.
Living organisms and Plants
Anything that takes up place can be considered as what?
Matter
Small molecules are called what?
Micromolecules
Stanley Miller is famous for what?
Proving that organic molecules can be formed in a lab
What does branching mean?
Branching means that some element has been removed from the chemical formula and repositioned in a monomer or polymer
Who is the security guard of a cell?
The cell membrane
Atoms eventually become what?
Molecules
Large molecules are called what?
Macromolecules
The 2 flasks that Stanley Miller used in his experiment contained what?
Water to represent the ocean and gases/chemicals that represented the atmosphere
If the ratio of elements in a formula is 1C:2H:O, how is it written and what is it called?
CH2OH and it is considered glucose which is known as Sugar that can be produced through the process of Photosynthesis in plants
Who is the boss of a cell?
The nucleus
What is the basis of all matter?
Atoms
When there is a chain of monomers, they form a what?
Polymer
What energy source did Stanley Miller introduce into the atmospheric assimilation?
Lightning
What are the 4 categories of Organic Compounds?
Carbohydrates
Lipids (Fats)
Proteins
Nucleic Acids (DNA & RNA)
What is the cell membrane's role?
To control what comes in and out of a cell
Atoms can also be considered what and why?
The basis of life, eventually molecules that can be associated with living things such as amino acids and proteins that form muscles, bones, etc.
What are the three types of Micromolecules or Monomers
Straight Chain
Ring
Branched Chain
When molecules came in contact with the source of lightning, what happened?
The chemical compounds began to break
Deoxyribonucleic Acid & Ribonucleic Acid
What type of information does the nucleus contain?
DNA and genetic information that code for proteins
Atoms are made up of what 3 things?
Protons, Neutrons, & Electrons
What needs to be removed during the process of Condensation Reaction and what is the result?
H2O or what we consider to be the chemical formula of Water. When this happens, 2 or more monomers are joined to make a polymer
When the compounds in Stanley Miller's assimilation broke, what happened next?
They began to form Macromolcules that contained amino acids which form proteins and that could be determined to be compounds associated with living things
What 3 elements make up the term Carbohydrates?
Carbon, Oxygen, & Hydrogen
