| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| independent variable | variable being investigated, changed to do the experiment (x-axis) |
| dependent | variable being measured (y-axis) |
| rate | change X / change in Y |
| water | polar molecule, w/ partial charge |
| hydrogen bonding | weak bond that forms when a partially positive hydrogen in one molecule is attracted to a slightly negative atom in another molecule |
| surface tension | forms from hydrogen bonding between water molecules at the surface of water; allows certain insets to walk on water" |
| adhesion | forms from hydrogen bonding between water molecules and other surfaces; allows water to stick to the walls of the xylem of a plant as it moves up through the roots to leaves |
| cohesion | forms from hydrogen bonding between water molecules; results in surface tension; allows water to stick together |
| high heat of vaporization | b/c of hydrogen bonding, water absorbs a lot of heat before it evaporates; allows animals to be cooled by sweat or panting |
| high specific heat | b/c of hydrogen bonding, water absorbs a lot of heat before it changes temp; allows areas near bodies of water to be cooler than areas inland. |
| universal solvent | b/c it is polar, water is able to dissolve other polar substances |
| dehydration synthesis | removes water from monomers to allow them to form covalent bonds w/ each other |
| hydrolysis | adds water to polymers to break the covalent bonds and break down into monomers |
| acids | has a pH below 7(increasing H+ decreases the pH) |
| bases | has a pH above 7 (decreasing H+ increases the pH) |
| carbohydrates | made from carbon, oxygen, & hydrogen (every carbon has an oxygen-making them polar) |
| lipids | made from carbon, oxygen, & hydrogen (there are few carbons in lipids- making them nonpolar) |
| proteins | made from carbon, oxygen, hydrogen & nitrogen, sometimes sulfur( can be enzymes, used for transport, used in immune system, & for muscle movement |
| amino acids | monomers of proteins |
| parts of an amino acid | amino group, carboxyl group, H, & R group (variable) |
| primary structure | determined by genes in DNA; order of the amino acid( held together by covalent peptide bonds) in the polypeptide chain |
| secondary structure | folding of the primary polypeptide chain into alpha helices or beta pleated sheets, held together by hydrogen bonds |
| tertiary structure | further folding of the secondary structure, determined by the R groups |
| Quaternary structure | forms when 2 or more tertiary polypeptides join together to make a single protein |
| nucleic acids | made from carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, & phosphorus |
| covalent bonds | hold together individual nucleotides & join the phosphate of 1 nucleotide to the next on the same strand |
| hydrogen bonds | weaker than covalent; join together base pairs on 2 different strands |
| DNA nucleotide | deoxyribose sugar, phosphate group, nitrogen base (A<T<C<G) |
| rna nucleotide | ribose sugar, phosphate group, nitrogen base(A,U,C,G) |
| DNA | instructions for building proteins |
| mRNA | translated at the ribosomes to make proteins |
| competitive inhibitors | bind to active site & block substrate from attaching |
| non-competitive inhibitors | bind to an allosteric site & change the shape of active site |
| inputs of respiration | glucose & oxygen |
| outputs respiration | carbon dioxide, water, & ATP |
| glucose (respiration) | used in glycolysis 2 form pyruvate, NADH, & small amount of ATP |
| pyruvate (respiration) | converted in2 actyl-CoA (used in krebs cycle) |
| oxygen (respiration) | used in oxidative phosphorylation; final electron acceptor |
| CO2 (respiration) | produced in krebs w/ NADH, FADH2, & small amount of atp |
| water (respiration) | produced in oxi phospho; forms when oxygen receives electrons and protons from etc |
| atp (respiration) | produced in oxi phospho |
| etc & atp synthase (respiration) | movement of electrons through etc in the inner membrane builds proton (h+) gradient in intermembrane space |
| fermentation | breakdown of glucose w/o etc; allows aerobic cells 2 make small amounts ATP when etc can not happen |
| alcoholic fermentation | makes atp, co2, and alcohol (bacteria & yeast) |
| lactic acid fermentation | makes atp & lactic acid (bacteria & humans) |
| inputs of photosynthesis | water & carbon dioxide |
| outputs photosynthesis | oxygen & glucose |
| water (photosynthesis) | used in light dependent reactions; provides electrons needed for etc 2 make NADPH & atp 4 calvin cycle |
| carbon dioxide (photosynthesis) | used/ fixed by rubisco in calvin cycle; provides carbon & oxygen needed 2 make G3P (combined to make glucose & other molecules) |
| oxygen (photosynthesis) | form in light dependent reactions; produced when electrons are removed from water |
| glucose (photosynthesis) | formed in calvin cycle; produced when 2 molecules of G3P join |
| etc & atp synthase (photosynthesis) | movement of electrons through etc in thylakoid membrane builds proton gradient outside of thylakoid; protons can only re-enter thylakoid by going through atp synthase, building atp |
