Bio: Chapter 1

Test- Tuesday, October 14th, 2014

QuestionAnswer
atom smallest particle of elements
atomos greek for invisible
who came up with the atomic theory? what year? John Dalton, atomic theory in 1805
what are examples of atoms combining with other atoms to make molecules? H2*, H2*O
what 6 elements make up 97% of all organisms? carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphor, sulfur (CHONPS)
what particles are in the nucleus? what particle moves around the outside? what are their charges? proton (+) and nutron(0) in the nucleus and electron (-) on the outside
is the identity of the element the number of neutrons or protons? protons
what particle represents the atomic number? proton
what two particles equal each other to have a balanced atom? proton and electron to make no charge
what two particles together produce the atomic mass? protons and neutrons
isotope atoms of the same element with varying amounts of neutrons; some unstable, giving off radiation
structural formula shows numbers and arranged formulas
electron levels: 1st shell? 2nd shell? 3rd shell? 2, 8, 18
what particles are transfered in chemical bonds? electrons, only the outer electrons move
what are the two types of chemical bonds? what are they? ionic- transfered when e are gained or lost and covalent- shared e of the same (H2*) or different element (H2*O)
ions when electrons are transfered, the result is a loss or gain- called an ion (NaCl)
chemical reaction making/breaking bonds
what is needed in the process of breaking bonds? energy to start chemical reaction
polar covalent atoms of an element attract shared electrons unequally (oxygen attracts electrons more, making it slightly negative)
nonpolar covalent shared equally (N2*)
are fats and oils polar or non polar? why? non polar because they dont dissolve in water
does a hydrogen bond have a strong or weak attraction between + and - atoms? What is an example? weak attraction Ex. proteins, DNA, H2O, explains water surface tension
do polar solutions dissolve or not? non polar solutions? polar solutions dissolve, non-polar dont dissolve
ionization a nonionic compound (H20) converts to ions (hydrogen (H+) and hydroxide (OH-) ions)
does life process depend on ionization? yes
Amount of H+ and OH ions = pH of sollutions
what is the pH scale range? 0-14
on the pH, 0=?, 7=?, 14=? most acidic, natural, most basic
can slight pH changes cause death? yes
what are the 4 classes of macromolecules of organic compounds? carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, nucleic acids
what are examples of carbohydrates? C, H, O
monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides are _______ carbohydrates
monosaccharides simplest, 1 sugar
glucose, fructose, galactose examples of monosaccharides
disaccharides 2 sugars boneed together
surcose, maltose, lactose examples of disaccharides
polysaccharides complex, several glucose molecules
starch, cellulose, glycogen examples of polysaccharides
cellulose plant starch
glycogen animal starch
lipids fats, oils, storage of energy; builds cell membrane;nonpolar, hydeophobic
what are the building blocks of lipids fatty acids and glycerol (C, H, O)
triglyceride, transfats, saturated fatty acids, unsaturated fatty acids, phospholipids are ______ lipids
triglyceride 3 fatty acids + 1 glycerol
transfats partially hydrogenated oil
saturated fatty acids single bond between carbon, solid at room temperature
unsaturated fatty acids double bond between carbon, oily liquid
phospholipids 2 fatty acids + PO4 and form cell membranes
what are the building blocks of proteins? amino acids
what are in amino acids? C,H,O,N
proteins C,H,O,N in amino acids differ by 1 of 20 R groups...20 amino acids; make up skin, hair, muscles; act as messengers between cells + enzymes
peptide bond betern acid groups of 1 amino acid groups (COOH) + animal group (HN2*)of another: lose 1 H20 molecule
are most enzimes lipids? no, proteins
primary structure sequence in the chain
secondary structure twisting chain
tertiary folds back on itself making it 3D; quaternary=2 or more (hemoglobin)
how mych of our proteins do we share with firut fies and worms? 40%

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
