Study of Life
These are the functional and structural units of life.
What is the cell?
A substance that cannot be broken down by ordinary chemical means.
The type of bond between atoms where electrons are transferred instead of shared.
What is an ionic bond.
The pH of water.
What is 7?
Cells link monomers together to form polymers by this reaction.
The properties that emerge at each level in life's hierarchy.
Atom with same number of protons but different number of neutrons.
The distribution of electrical charge within a chemical bond between 2 or more atoms.
What is polarity?
The concentration of a solute in a solution.
What is molarity?
The monosaccharides in DNA and RNA.
In testing a hypothesis, this is the factor that is manipulated by the researcher?
The tendency of atoms to pull electrons toward themselves.
What is electronegativity?
Bond that makes water cohesive and adhesive.
What is a hydrogen bond?
An example of a pH indicator that turns yellow/orange when mixed with an acidic solution.
What is Phenol Red?
The primary disaccharide formed by the hydrolysis of starch?
What is maltose?
This is the unifying molecule of life.
What is DNA?
A chemical principle that states atoms are most stable when valence shell is filled with 8 electrons?
What is an octet rule?
Bond between a glycerol molecule and a fatty acid.
What is an ester bond?
The functional group considered to be acidic.
The carboxyl group?
The biomolecule that is the most efficient for long term energy storage.
What are lipids?
The mechanism for evolution.
What is natural selection?
The group of atoms in the periodic table that are unreactive because they have a stable electron configuration.
What are noble gases?
The ability of a molecule to donate a proton (H+).
What is acidity?
The method to determine the pH of a solution in relation to other solutions.The pH of water.
What is titration?
The protein structure that determines the function of an enzyme.
What is the tertiary structure?
