What are carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids
100
The double layered barrier around our cells.
What is the plasma membrane? (cell membrane works too)
100
The format we put hypothesis' in.
What is the "if then" format?
100
The basic energy form used by our cells.
What is ATP?
100
The day, time and place of our practice exam.
What is Sunday, 2pm and SH 128.
200
A substance produced by a living organism that acts as a catalyst to bring about a specific biochemical reaction
What is an enzyme?
200
The difference between the smooth and rough endoplasmic.
What is having no ribosomes vs. having ribosomes?
200
The group containing variables that are different in an experiment.
What is the experimental group?
200
The three main "steps" in cellular respiration.
What is glycolysis, the krebs cycle and the electron transport chain?
200
The number circled on the board.
What is the atomic mass?
300
A type of lipid that contains less than the highest amount of hydrogen possible.
What are unsaturated fats?
300
The ingestion of bacteria or other material by phagocytes and amoeboid protozoans.
What is phagocytosis?
300
Homeostasis (hint: it's not "what is balance")
What is the control of internal conditions, be it temperature, specific blood conditions or other variables within living organisms?
300
The net ATP gain for glycolysis.
What is two ATP?
300
A chemical rule of thumb that reflects observation that atoms of main-group elements tend to combine in such a way that each atom has eight electrons in its valence shell, giving it the same electronic configuration as a noble gas
What is the octet rule?
400
The four special types of carbohydrates that have functions as structure and energy sources.
What is starch, glucose, chitin and cellulose?
400
Three differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
What is:
nucleus vs. no nucleus
membrane bound organelles vs. no organelles
usually multicellular vs. usually unicellular
(could be a lot more things ...)
400
The reason viruses aren't considered "alive." (Get detailed!)
Viruses lack many properties of life like they don't process energy, don't grow, don't respond to stimuli, etc.!
400
The product of the anaerobic process that happens in our muscles.
What is lactic acid?
400
Binding other substances to an enzyme's active site to prevent that enzyme from performing its function.
What is enzyme regulation?
500
The monomers and polymers for all four carbohydrates.
Passive transport requires no proteins and works with concentration gradients, facilitated transport works with concentration gradients but requires transport proteins because they're big molecules and active transport works against the concentration gradient and uses transport proteins.
500
The six characteristics of life.
What is order, response to stimuli, reproduction, growth, regulation/homeostasis and energy processing?
500
The input products for each of the three main steps of cellular respiration AND fermentation.
What is 1 glucose for glycolysis, 2 Acetyl CoA for the krebs cycle and 10 NADH/2 FAD for the electron transport chain. What is 2 pyruvates for fermentation?
500
The reason a smaller surface area to volume ration is better for cells.
Shorter distance to nucleus means nutrients get to center of cell quickly
