Biology unit 1 study
This is for 9th grade Bio class for the first unit
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Monomer | Basic units that repeats over and over in organic compounds |
| Polymer | A substance that has a molecular structure consisting chiefly or entirely of a large number of similar units bonded together, e.g., many synthetic organic materials used as plastics and resins. |
| What are the 4 classes of macro-molecules ? | Carbohydrates, Lipids, Protein, and Nucleic acid. |
| What elements are Proteins made up of? | Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, and Nitrogen |
| What elements make up Nucleic Acids (DNA & RNA)? | Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, and Phosphorous |
| What are three main elements that the body needs to function? | Sulfur, Calcium, and Potassium |
| What 4 elements make up 95% of the human body? | Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, and Oxygen |
| What are macro-molecules ? | A very large molecule, such as protein, commonly created by the polymerization of smaller subunits (monomers). They are typically composed of thousands of atoms or more. |
| Polymerization | A process of reacting monomer molecules together in a chemical reaction to form polymer chains |
| Whats elements make up Carbohydrates and lipids? | Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen |
| What are organic compounds usually made up of? | Carbon |
| Compounds can be placed in which two groups? | Organic and Non-organic |
| What are the main functions of carbohydrates? | Quick Energy and Storage |
| What is the monomer of Carbohydrates? | Monosaccharide |
| What is the ratio of Hydrogen to oxygen in Carbohydrates? | 2:1 |
| Types of Carbohydrates (amounts) | One sugar (C6 H12 06 Monosaccharide) Two Sugars (C12 H22 011 Diaccharide) Many sugars (polysaccharide) |
| What is a polysaccharide? | 3 or more repeating units (long chains of sugar) |
| What are some examples of polysaccharide? | Cellulose, Chitin, Glycogen |
| Name 3 monosaccharides | Fructose, Glucose, galactose |
| What is the monomer of lipids | Glycerol & 3 fatty acids (or Triglyceride |
| What are the functions of lipids | Storage, Energy reserves, and cell membrane |
| What are some special characteristics of lipids | - Insoluble in water - Shaped like an elongated E |
| What are the monomers of Proteins? | Amino acids |
| What are the functions for Proteins | - Basic building blocks of living material -Hair, Muscles, Fingernails -Enzymes |
| What makes up cell membranes? | Phospholipids |
| What is a triglyceride made up of | glycerol and three fatty acids |
| What is the monomer of Nucleic Acids? | Nucleotide |
| Functions of Nucleic Acids? | - DNA RNA - Genetic activity -Cell activity |
| What does DNA Do | Carries the genetic code |
| What does RNA do | Carries out the instructions |
| What are some examples of Disaccharide | Sucrose- table sugar Lactose - sugar in milk |
| Are lipids shaped like an E (yes or no) | Yes |
| What are some examples of lipids | Oil, Fat Butter |
| What are some examples of protein | Meat, eggs, and nuts |
