What is atomic number.
100
The type of biomolecule which is NOT a polymer.
What is a lipid.
100
Name the four main types of organic molecules that form biological organisms.
What is carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acid, proteins.
100
Enzymes are what type of organic molecules?
Protein
100
Properly write the chemical formula for water.
What is H20 (the 2 is a subscript)
200
What you get when you change the number of electrons in an atom
What is an ion.
200
A polymer of amino acids folded in a unique way to preform a unique function.
What is a protein.
200
The group of biomolecules which contain hormones such as testosterone and estrogen. Sketch the general shape of these steroids.
What are lipids.
200
The term for the process enzymes use to make reactions speed up. (And they do that by reducing the amount of activation energy.)
What is catalyze. They reduce the amount of activation energy needed.
200
Draw the pH scale, label the neutral, acidic, and basic regions.
What is see board.
300
How many bonds can oxygen form based on the octet rule.
What is 2
300
The monomer nucleic acids are made of. For double points sketch it also.
What is a nucleotide.
300
The group of biomolecules that include blood sugar and plant cell walls. Double points for the scientific names of the specific molecules which are blood sugar and plant cells walls.
What are carbohydrates.
300
Another name for a reactant in an enzyme assisted reaction.
What is a substrate?
300
Surface tension in water is caused by adhesion or cohesion?
Cohesion.
400
The type of bond that would form when two atoms share a pair of electrons.
What is covalent. (Only nonmetals do this, and this is the intramolecular bond, they hold organic molecules together)
400
The group of biomolecules made up of monosaccharides. For double points sketch a monosaccharide.
What are carbohydrates.
400
The group of biomolecules used for long term energy storage, insulation, and water proofing. Sketch the shape of this molecule.
What are lipids.
400
The place where reactants fit into an enzyme.
The active site.
400
Draw a water molecule, label the polarity AND explain why it has polarity.
What is see board and the oxygen nucleus is larger and holds the "shared" electrons more tightly than the small hydrogen atoms.
500
What you get when you change the number of neutrons in an element.
What is an isotope. (These are often radioactive and can be used to date fossils and trace biological molecules in living systems.)
500
An unfolded strand of amino acids is called a ______. Sketch an amino acid for double points.
What is polypeptide?
500
This group of biomolecule forms enzymes that have specific shapes so they can catalyze specific reactions.
What is protein.
500
The term that describes what happens if an enzyme (or any protein) heats up too much and it permanently changes shape and looses its function.
What is denature.
500
Draw three water molecules, indicate hydrogen bonds with dotted lines, indicate covalent bonds with solid lines. Label the hydrogen bonds between the molecules.
What is see board.
