100
This is composed of similar cells that function together as a unit.
What is a tissue?
100
This is composed of two or more different types of atoms bonded together.
What is a compound?
100

Name for the polymer of nucleic acids.

What is DNA and RNA?

100

This type of molecule has a partial negative charge on one side of the molecule and a partial positive charge on the other side of the molecule.

What is a polar molecule?

100

The monomer of carbohydrates.

What are monosaccharides?

200
This is a membrane-bound compartment inside of a eukaryotic cell.
What is an organelle?
200
This is a negatively charged particle that is outside the nucleus of an atom.
What is an electron
200

A type of protein that speeds up chemical reactions.

What are Enzymes?

200

During our lab, Sudan III was used to test?

What is the presence of lipids?

200

Two major functions of a lipid.

What are long term energy (stored energy), insulation, protection, structure, and to make cell membrane?

300

These lipids are found in the cell membrane.

What are phospholipids?

300

Which group number is the alkaline earth metals? 

What is group 2?

300

Explain the differences between cellulose, starch and glycogen.

Starch is how plants store energy

Glycogen is how animals store sugars 

Cellulose are sugars used for structure

300

This property of water causes water to stick to other charged molecules. This is useful during translocation of water through xylem vessels of plants because it sticks to the inside of these vessels. Without this property, we would not have plants as we know it today, and we probably would not exist like we do today. (not looking for polarity)

What is adhesion?

300
This is the term for a molecule composed of repeating units of similar molecules bonded together.
What is a polymer?
400

List 4 unique properties of water. 

What is cohesion, adhesion, high specific heat, less dense as a solid, great solvent?

400
These electrons are the electrons found at the highest energy level, usually farthest from the nucleus of an atom.
What are valence electrons?
400

What are the three parts of a nucleotide?

What are phosphate group, sugar, nitrogenous base?

400

Water is a good temperature regulator because of this property, as it takes a large change in heat energy to change the temperature of water. Because of this, water temperature does not readily change.

What is high specific heat?

400

Biological macromolecule polymers are build by this type of chemical reaction.

What is a dehydration synthesis?

500

What type of bond links amino acids together in proteins?

Peptide bond

500

Electrons are shared in this type of chemical bond.

What is a covalent bond?

500

Describe each level of protein structure. 

Primary

Secondary 

Tertiary

Quaternary

500

Describe the isotope Oxygen - 18

What is 8 protons, 10 neutrons, 8 electrons. 

500

What is the difference between a saturated and unsaturated lipid?

Saturated is solid at room temp, no double bond

Unsaturated is liquid at room temp, double bonds
