| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is the atomic number of an element? | Subscription the periodic table: # of protons only in that element |
| List four details about Carbon that make it such an important element. | it can make single, double, or triple bonds helps make organic molecules associated w/all living organisms allows cells to build on infinite # of different molecules |
| Explain the different types of chemical bonds and give an example of each. | covalent, 2 hydrogens ionic, NaCl, hydrogen, NH3 |
| What is dehydration synthesis? | the removal of water |
| What is hydrolysis? | when macro-molecules are broken apart into individual monomers |
| Explain how energy is released from ATP molecules. | ATP converting to ADP gives off energy |
| What is an enzyme? | a biological catalyst |
| What types of things affect enzyme reactions? And how? | temp, ph, salt in extreme environments enzymes denature |
| How does increasing the concentration of an enzyme affect reactions? and How? | move enzymes faster it goes the lower the slower goes up for a little while then evens out |
| How does increasing the concentration of a substrate affect a reaction? | the reaction rate speeds up |
| Explain the properties of water and the importance of these in living things? | polar, hydrophilic,one oxygen 2 hydrogen; hydrogen is slightly positive and oxygen is slightly negative |
| Explain the difference between hypotonic solutions, hypertonic solutions and isotonic solutions. | hypo- almost none hyper-too much isotonic- even |
| Describe the four macromolecules and their functions. | carbs-energy lipids-store energy protein- workhorse of the cell nucleic acid-source of genetic info |
