| When two atoms form a chemical bond and share electrons equally between them, this is known as a ____________________ | Non-polar covalent bond |
| List chemical bonds in order from weakest to strongest | Hydrogen bond, ionic bond, covalent bond |
| Which of the following pH values indicates the LOWEST concentration of hydrogen ions? 1, 4, 8, 11 | pH=11 |
| In lab, how did NaHCO3 (baking soda) act as a buffer when hydrochloric acid was added to the buffered solution? | The baking soda took up the excess hydrogen ions |
| Bicarbonate ions facilitate the homeostasis of pH in your blood by bonding with hydrogen ions to become carbonic acid | TRUE |
| Water has very unique properties that result from the fact that it is a ______________ molecule | polar |
| The four major groups of organic compounds are | Carbohydrates, lipids, proteins & nucleic acids |
| The sequence of amino acids in a protein is considered the protein's _________________ structure. | Primary |
| Enzymes are catalysts in biochemical reactions. Enzymes can function to ______________________________. | Break molecular bonds, rearrange molecular bonds, form new molecular bonds. (ALL OF THE ABOVE) |
| How many carbon atoms are in one glucose molecule? | 6 |
| What is Starch's function? | Plant sugar storage |
| What purpose to enzymes have? | they are catalysts in biochemical reactions |
| What does DNA do? | It carries information for the functioning for the cell |
| What do Phospholipids do? | they form the bilayer of the cell's membranes |
| Polymer: polysaccharide; Monomer:____________________ | monosaccharide |
| Polymer: Protein; Monomer:______________________ | Amino Acid |
| Polymer: Nucleic Acid; Monomer: ____________________ | Nucleotide |
| R-OH | Hydroxyl |
| O= R-C-OH | Carboxyl |
| O= R-O-P-OH -OH | Phosphate |
| A proposed explanation for a phenomenon or question that can be tested and is falsifiable | Hypothesis |
| A propsed explanation for a phenomenon or question that HAS BEEN tested & proven widely and is formed through numerous agreeing experiments | Scientific Theory |
| Fatty acid chains that have a bend which prevents numerous fatty acids from attaching to each other and creates oil (unlike saturated fats which are solid and lack this bend) | Unsaturated Fatty Acid |
| A substance that absorbs stray hydrogen ions, which maintains a moderate pH despite the addition of acidic substances (until it reaches its limit) | buffer |
| the mechanism that allows an organism to maintain its bodily functions, such as regulating temperature | homeostasis |
| What number represents the mass number? | the sum of protons & neutrons listed under the name |
| Where is the atomic number & what does it represent? | Top left; # of protons |
| How does detergent work? | Detergent molecules are solutes. They allow water & oil to move by removing surface tension. Oil is hydrophobic and water is hydrophilic, and the detergent is able to move between these two substances. |
| What is the function of MITOSIS? | To allow multicellular organisms to grow and replace damaged cells |
| Which stage of the cell cycle is NOT part of interphase? | Mitosis |
| What is necessary for a cell to pass the G2 checkpoint? | accurate and complete DNA replication |
| What happens during Interphase? | The cell grows, makes proteins, organelles are duplicated, DNA is replicated |
| How do daughter cells at the end of MITOSIS and cytokinesis compare with the parent cells in G1 of interphase? | The daughters have the SAME amount of DNA & SAME # of chromosomes |
| A diploid cell has _____________________ the number of chromosoes as a haploid cell. | Twice! |
| An organism's traits are determined by the specific combination of inherited _______________________ | Genes |
| What is a likely evolultionary advantage of sexual reproduction over asexual reproduction? | Sexual reproduction yields greater variety in offspring |
| MEIOSIS produces _________________ cells | 4 unique haploid |
| At what stage of meiosis are homologous pairs of chromosomes separated from each other? | Anaphase I |
| At which stage of meiosis are sister chromatids separated from each other? | Anaphase II |
| If a muscle cell of a typical organism has 32 chromosomes, how many chromosomes will be in a gamete of that same organism? | 16 |
| What is the reason for doing a test cross? | to identify heterozygous individuals with a dominant phenotype |
| When a population has a gene with three alleles circulating, how many possible genotypes are there? | SIX |
| What introduces variation into offspring during meiosis? | crossing over & independent assortment. NOT mutation; that doesn't happen during MEIOSIS |
| What are the types of gametes that can be produced by an individual with the genotype AaBb? | AB, Ab, aB, ab |
| What did Lively (1992) conclude from his study of the freshwater snail and the parasitic worm? | The changing environment caused by the parasitic worms selected in favor of sexual reproduction over asexual reproduction in snails |
| _________________ are changes to the nucleotides in a segment of DNA that codes for a protein | gene mutations |
| if a disease is caused by a dominant allele, it means that a person with the disease:________________________ | Could either be homozygous or heterozygouls for the allele |
| Mendel observed evidence of independent assortment in his peas. What is actually occurring in the pea plant that CAUSES the independent assortment Mendel observed? | homologous chromosomes randomly align in the middle of the cell during metaphase I |
| For a gene that is expressed in a dominant and recessive pattern, homozygous dominant (YY) and heterozygous (Yy) organisms will look identical. | TRUE |
| Energy is stored long-term in the bonds of __________________ and used short-term to perform work from a(n)_________________molecule | glucose; ATP |
| What is the correct chemical equation for cellular respiration? | C6H12O6 + 6O2 = 6CO2 + 6H2O |
