This atom can form 4 covalent bonds with other atoms, so it's got that going for it...which is nice.
What is Carbon
100
The bonds between positive and negative poles that pull water molecules together.
What are Hydrogen bonds?
100
The building blocks of carbohydrates (with an example).
What are monosaccharides? Ex: Glucose, galactose or fructose.
100
Fats and oils are examples of this type of lipid that is composed of one glycerol and three fatty acids.
What are triglycerides?
100
Polypeptides are polymers of these.
What are amino acids?
200
(A) Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen are the only elements found in these two molecules of life... (B) Throw in some Nitrogen, Sulfur, and phosphorus and you can make these other two molecules of life...
What are (A) Carbohydrates and Lipids and (B) Proteins and Nucleic acids.
200
An example of how cohesive properties of water enable life.
What is water sticks to water inside vascular tissues of plants allowing water to be moved up trunks into leaves?
200
The name of the bond that holds two glucose molecules together to form maltose.
What is 1,4 glycosidic bond. Also accept covalent bond.
200
A comparison of the energy content per gram of carbohydrates and lipids.
What is lipids contain approximately 2x the energy content per gram?
200
The part of the amino acid that gives it unique properties
What is the R group?
300
Alpha and beta glucose are an example of these kinds of molecules where they share a chemical formula, but have different arrangements of atoms.
What are structural isomers.
300
Methane wants so bad to be cool like water, but it boils at -160 degrees C! An explanation of why Methane has such different thermal properties than water.
What is Methane is non-polar and doesn't form hydrogen bonds between its molecules?
300
These bonds distinguish amylopectin from amylose by causing it to be branched.
What are 1,6 glycosidic bonds?
300
The BMI of someone who is 82 kg and 1.86 m tall.
What is 23.7? They are normal weight.
300
The complex 3D shape that forms due to interactions between the R groups of the amino acids present.
What is tertiary structure?
400
A definition of metabolism with a special mention to the little molecules that make it possible.
What is all the reactions that occur in an organism. Catalytic proteins called enzymes make metabolism possible.
400
Molecules that are not attracted to water, are non-polar and are not soluble in water. With an example!
What are Hydrophobic? Ex: Lipids
400
The kind of cells starch could be found in.
What are plant cells?
400
Daily Double!!! The structural difference between saturated and unsaturated fatty acids.
What is sat. fatty acids have the maximum number of hydrogens/no double bonds between carbons while unsat. fatty acids have at least one double bond between carbons?
400
Daily Double!!! A summary of what happens when a protein becomes denatured.
What is the protein loses its 3D shape. This results in the loss of function.
500
Vitalism was a widely held, but ultimately false idea about the nature of living materials. An outline of how it was falsified.
What is - Urea is an organic molecule naturally synthesized in liver cells? - Wohler synthesized urea from inorganic compounds?
500
Ionic molecules are hydrophilic. An outline of how water dissolves a NaCl molecule.
What is: Ions are positively or negatively charged. The charged ions molecules are attracted to the opposite charged region of the water molecule.
500
Highly branched carbohydrate found in animals.
What is glycogen?
500
This evidence from the nurse's health study supports the claim that trans fatty acids increase health risks.
What is swapping trans fats with cis-unsaturated fats greatly reduced the risk of CHD?
500
A reason why all individuals have a unique proteome.
What is proteins are coded by genes and any genetic differences will result in slightly different and thus unique proteins?
