What are the 4 types of chemical bonds?

Ion/Ionic Bond

Covalent Bond

Hydrogen Bond

Dipole Bond

100
Explain or provide example:


Solute vs Solution vs Solvent 

A solution: the mixture

Solute: Sodium and Chloride

Solvent: water

A solute dissolves in a solvent resulting in a solution. 

100

What are the 5 functional groups?

Think "Function like a CHAMP"

Carboxyl

Hydroxyl

Amino

Methyl

Phosphate

100

What is the function of the Golgi apparatus? 

The Golgi apparatus receives proteins and puts them in a vesicle for transportation. (Packages and ships) 

100

What is the difference between the phospholipid bilayers head and tail?

The head is hydrophilic (likes water), and the tail is hydrophobic (fearful of water) 

200
Define the difference:


Organic vs Inorganic

Organic compounds contain both carbon and hydrogen

Inorganic does not contain both carbon and hydrogen. 

200

Can you list the 4 places in the body water can be found?

Synovial Fluid

Pleural Fluid

Mucus

Cerebrospinal Fluid 

200

What are the 3 type of saccharides? 

Can you list an example of each?

Bonus: What is the bond called?

Bonus Bonus: What is the coating on the cells membrane that IDs the cells as their own?

Monosaccharide - (hexose) glucose, fructose, galactose. (Pentose) deoxyribose, ribose 

Disaccharide - lactose, sucrose, maltose

Polysaccharide - starch, cellulose, glycogen

Glycosidic Bond 

200

What is the difference between the Smooth ER and the Rough ER?

The rough ER has ribosomes that produce protiens, and the smooth has no ribosomes and produces lipids. 

200

What can diffuse through the cell membrane?

Bonus: Why?

O2, CO2, Steroid Hormones


Because they are non-polar

300

List the charge and the mass for the following:

Proton

Neutron

Electron 

BONUS: how to calculate an elements mass number?

Proton - a heavy subatomic particle having a positive charge and found in the atom’s nucleus

neutrons - a heavy subatomic particle having no electrical charge and found in the atom’s nucleus

electrons - a subatomic particle having a negative charge and nearly no mass; found orbiting the atom’s nucleus

mass = the sum of the protons and neutrons 

300

Water is produced in ______________________, and split in ______________________.

Water is produced in Dehydration Synthesis and split in hydrolysis reaction. 

300

What is a nucleotide composed of?


1+ phosphate group

Pentose Sugar (deoxyribose or ribose)

N-containing base: adenine, cytosine, guanine, thymine, or uracil (only in RNA)

300

What are the 6 levels of structural organization?

Chemical level, Cellular, Tissue, Organ, Organ System and Organismal 

300

In diffusion, what is the difference between active transport vs passive transport?

Active transport moves AGAINST the concentration gradient

Passive moved DOWN the concentration gradient

400
Explain the difference:

Atom

Molecule

Compound

Atom - single unit of an element (eg One atom of Oxygen)

Molecules - two or more atoms covalently bonded (can be the same or different)

Compounds - a substance composted of two or more different elements. 

400

Which volume is higher?

Intracellular vs Extracellular 

Bonus: What is the %?

Bonus: What are they primarily composed of? 

Intracellular 55%

- primarily Sodium ions and chloride ions

Extracellular 45%

- primary potassium ions and phosphate ions

400

What is the structural difference between saturated and unsaturated fatty acid ?

An unsaturated fatty acid has a double bond (looks like a kink in the chain). 
400

What are the two functions of lysosomes? 

Autophagy - cell feeding of damaged organelles Apoptosis - cell death via autolysis
400

How can large proteins move through the cell membrane in passive transport?

They use facilitated diffusion requiring transporter proteins to carry molecules through the integrated membrane protein channels. 

500

Define the difference:

Nonpolar Covalent Bond vs Polar Covalent Bond 

Nonpolar covalent bonds are balanced, and have equal sharing of electrons. 

Polar covalent bonds are unbalanced, unequal sharing of electrons. 

500

What does an acid release in a solution?

What does a base release in a solution?


Bonus: On the pH scale, what is 10 considered? Can you name an example?

An acid is a substance that releases hydrogen ions (H+) in solution

A base is a substance that releases hydroxyl ions (OH–) in solution

Basic, Baking Soda

500

Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) is a ___________, that stores potential energy in covalent bonds between phosphates.
Reversibly broken down into _____________. 

Rebuilt by __________________.

___________ performed by kinase - an enzyme that facilitates transfer of phosphate groups

Nucleotide 

ADP + Pi

Phosphorylation

Phosphorylation  

500

What are the three types of stem cells?


Bonus: Differentiate between them?

Totipotent - embryonic, can differentiate into any type of cell

Pluripotent - embryonic, somewhat specialized so can only differentiate into specific cell lines

Multipotent - adult, even more specialized. 

500

What are the three types of endocytosis? 


Bonus: Explain the difference. 

Phagocytosis - "cell eating" of large particles by leukocytes. 

Pinocytosis - "Cell drinking" by bringing fluid containing dissolved substances into the cell. 

Receptor-mediated - highly specific receptors required
