Basics
This is a theory.
An explanation of phenomena that has held up to experimentation as of yet.
In this type of bond one atom steals another electron.
What are Ionic bonds? (Bonus: What determines whether two bonds will form an ionic bond or covalent bond?)
This is an atom’s valence.
What is how many electrons are in it’s outer most shell. (Bonus: What is Nitrogen’s valence?)
This single structure separates the Eukaryotes from all other life on Earth.
What is a Nucleus? (Bonus: What macromolecule is associated with the nucleus?)
These are two functions of Carbohydrates.
What is food/energy and structure?
These are the variables being measured during an experiment.
What is a dependent variable?
What does it mean to be polar?
To have a unequal sharing of electrons. (Bonus: what is non-polar?)
This chemical interaction is a misnomer as it doesn’t involve actually bonding?
What are Hydrogen bonds? (Bonus: how do they work?)
These 3 items are present in all cellar life.
What are ribosomes, cell membrane, and DNA.(Bonus: Which one of theses is different in prokaryotes and how?)
These are the three categories of lipids present in cells.
What are fats, phospholipids, and steroids?
These are the 7 requirements for something to be considered alive.
Responds to environment, growth, reproduce, metabolism/needs energy, homeostasis, cells, genetic material.
This element is called the backbone of life.
What is Carbon? (Bonus: Why is Carbon the backbone of life?)
This is a chemical reaction by which you bond two monomers.
What are dehydration reactions? (Bonus: Other than the polymer what else is formed?)
These major organelles tend to be present in plant cells but not animal cells.
What is a Cell wall chloroplast and a large central vacuole. (Bonus: What is the difference between a vacuole and a vesicle?)
This is the direct DNA and RNA is read.
What is 5’ to 3’? (Bonus: What’s a good way to remember that?)
This is the central dogma to all biology.
How does DNA codes protein? (Bonus: What are the steps?)
This is what a lower number on the pH scale means.
What is acidity?
These are the functional groups.
Hydroxyl (OH), Carbonyl (or aldehydes or keystones), carboxyl, amino, sulfhydryl, phosphate, methyl. (Bonus for every one you can name a property for)
These are the parts of the endomembrane system.
What are the nuclear envelope, lysosomes, vesicles, the ER, and Golgi apparatus, and the plasma membrane? (bonus 1: What are their steps? Bonus 2: What do they do?
These are the four levels of protein structure.
What is Primary, Secondary, Ternary, and Tetranary. (Bonus: What happens at each level?)
This is a weak acid or base that helps maintain a constant pH in solution. (Sorry I couldn’t fit it in anywhere else and it’s important.)
What is a buffer?
These are the chemical properities of water that make it essential for life.
What is high heat capacity, cohesion, adhesion, universal solvent, high evaporative cooling, and the fact that ice floats? (Bonus: Give an example that’s not ice.)
What functional group is hydrophobic?
What are methyl groups?
This theory describes how mitochondria and chloroplasts evolved.
What is endosymbiont theory? (Bonus: What are three evidences that support it?)
These are the different categories of Amino acid.
What are hydrophobic, hydrophilic, acidic, basic
