The Bare Necessities of Life
The three domains of life.
What is Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya (BAE)?
The top 4 elements in the human body.
What is Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, and Nitrogen (CHON)?
Two Part Question:
(1) Monomers of carbohydrates.
(2) Polymers of carbohydrates.
What are (1) monosaccharides and (2) polysaccharides?
Two Part Question:
(1) Monomers of proteins.
(2) Monomers of nucleic acids.
What are (1) amino acids and (2) nucleotides?
A giant molecule formed by the joining of smaller molecules usually by a similar pattern. Carbohydrates, proteins, and nucleic acids fall under this classification.
What is macromolecules?
Two Part Question:
(1) Characteristics based on physical appearance.
(2) Characterized by genes.
(2) What is genotype?
Two Part Question:
(1) The number that tells you the number of protons in an element.
(2) The number that tells you the number of protons and neutrons in an element.
What is (1) the Atomic Number and (2) the Atomic Mass?
This class of biomolecule does not have true polymers and is classified as non-polymeric.
What are lipids?
Two Part Question:
(1) Polymers of nucleic acids.
(2) Polymers of proteins.
What are (1) polynucleotides and (2) polypeptides?
Two Part Question:
(1) The act of removing water to join monomers into polymers.
(2) The act of adding water to break polymers into monomers.
What is (1) dehydration reaction and (2) hydrolysis?
The taxonomy rankings used in binomial nomenclature.
The max number of electrons in shell 1, shell 2, and shell 3.
What is 2 (shell 1), 8 (shell 2), and 8 (shell 3)
The molecular formula is CnH2nOn
What are carbohydrates?
Bonds and interactions are destroyed; due to the loss of structure the molecule loses its function. Some causes include a change in pH, temperature, and the use of chemicals.
What is denaturation?
Two Part Question:
(1) Molecules that hate water, they are neutral, and contain non-polar covalent bonds.
(2) Molecules that like water, they are ionic, and contain polar covalent bonds.
What is (1) hydrophobic and (2) hydrophilic?
The 7 properties of life.
What is (1) Sensitivity/Response to the Environment, (2) Reproduction, (3) Evolve and Adaptation, (4) Growth and Development, (5) Regulation/Homeostasis, (6) Process Energy, and (7) Order
Three Part Question:
(1) A bond that shares a pair of electrons.
(2) A bond that completely transfers an electron. (one gains and one loses)
(3) A bond between partially charged hydrogens and another partially charged atom (O or N).
What is (1) a covalent bond, (2) a ionic bond, and (3) hydrogen bond?
Three Part Question:
(1) This class of lipids consists of unsaturated fats, saturated fats, and trans fats.
(2) This class of lipids are the primary composition of the cell membranes bilayer. They have a hydrophobic tail and a hydrophilic head.
(3) This class of lipids consists of four fused rings.
What are (1) fats, (2) phospholipids, and (3) steroids?
Two Part Question:
(1) Adenine and guanine fall under this classification. They have two rings.
(2) Cytosine, thymine (DNA), and uracil (RNA) fall under this classification. They all have one ring.
What are (1) purines and (2) pyrimidines?
An attraction of a particular atom for the electron of a covalent bond.
What is electronegativity?
The taxonomic ranks (does not need to be in order)
What is domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus and species?
Water's life-supporting properties like cohesion, adhesion, surface tension, high specific heat, and less dense as ice are due to this.
What is hydrogen bonds?
These molecules have the same formula but different arrangement. Since, structure dictates function.
What are isomers?
This type of molecule breaks polymers into monomers and are the most important protein.
What are enzymes?
Two Part Question:
(1) An atom of an element that has gained or lost neutrons. This does not change the charge but it changes the atomic mass.
(2) An atom of an element that has gained or lost electrons. This changes the charge but does not change the atomic mass.
What is (1) an isotope and (2) an ion?
