Domain that contains Eukaryotes
What is Eukarya?
S P O N C H
What are Sulfur, Phosphorus, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Carbon, and Hydrogen?
The pH scale
What is 0-14?
Monomer for a Protein
What is an amino acid?
10^5
What is 100,000?
The ability to maintain stable internal
conditions regardless of a fluctuating external
environment
What is Homeostasis?
Valence shell is stable with 8 electrons
What is an octet rule?
When Acids and Bases mix
What is neutralization?
Break polymers apart into monomers. This requires water and an enzyme.
What is hydrolysis?
Acetic acid functional group
What is a carboxyl group?
The four kingdoms of the Eukarya domain
What are the Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia?
Indication of the total number of electron shells
What are periods? (Rows)
The reason for high surface tension in water
What is cohesion?
4 Macromolecules
What are Carbohydrates, Proteins, Lipids, and Nucleic Acids?
Find the pH if :
[H+]=1 x 10^-12.6
[-OH]=1 x 10^-1.4
What is pH 12.6?
2 types of reproduction and a definition for each.
What is asexual reproduction where one parent passes an exact copy of its genes to its offspring, resulting in genetic clones? What is sexual reproduction where two parents pass half their genes to offspring via gametes, producing genetically different offspring?
Ionic compounds formed from a nonmetal and metal transferring electrons
What are salts?
The reason for oceans not freezing bottom up
What is hydrogen bonding? [When ice forms, it becomes less dense than liquid water]
The monomers in bread
What are monosaccharides?
An example for each kingdom
What are examples for eubacteria, archaebacteria, protista, fungi, plantae, and animalia?
The seven characteristics of living things
What are: Organizations, Adaptations, Response, Regulation, Obtaining energy, Reproduction, Growth & Development?
Weak force that is mainly seen in non-polar molecules and noble gasses
What are Van der Waals interactions? (NIH, kawai et al)
The difference between hydrophilic and hydrophobic molecules
What are polar/soluble vs Non-polar/non-soluble?
4 Levels of organization
What are monomeric units, macromolecules, supramolecular complexes, and the cell+organelles?
Functional group that acts as a base and tends to attract a proton to form
What is an amino group?
