Bio: Carbon

Bio Exam 1

Biological reactions take place in... water
Acid (low pH) substance that increase hydrogen ions (H+) concentration in a solution (donates H+ in solution)
Base (high pH) provides either hydroxide ions (OH-) or other negatively charged ions that combine with H+, REDUCING their CONCENTRATION in the solution (donates OH- or accepts H+)
Buffers substances that minimize changes in concentrations of H+ and OH- in a solution
Why is pH so important? altering pH (adding an acid or base) can alter the distribution of charges in a macromolecule, and can disrupt the 3D structure and interactions with other molecules
Types of Backbones in hydrocarbons linear chains or rings
Diversity in organic molecules can be made by... changes to carbon backbone length, double bonds, and branching OR adding functional side group
Isomers compounds with the same molecular formular, but have different structures and properties (but they make up the same number of atoms as other molecules)
Structural isomers different covalent arrangements
Cis-isomer (spatial arrangement diff) the two X's are on the same side (X = a certain element)
Trans-isomer (spatial arrangement diff) the two X's are on opposite sides (X = a certain element)
amphiphathic a molecule that has both hydrophobic and hydrophilic parts

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.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
