| An atom has a full innermost shell and three electrons in its second shell. What would happen when this atom forms a chemical bond? | It will lose three electrons from its second shell. |
| What type of organic molecule can undergo replication? | Nucleic acid |
| What occurs to form an ionic bond? | Oppositely charged atoms are attracted to each other. |
| If Ca+2 were to gain 2 electrons, it would become image and become neutral. | True |
| A blood pH of__________ is called alkalemia. | 7.5-7.8 |
| What is the most abundant inorganic substance in the body? | Water |
| A phospholipid differs structurally from a triglyceride in that the phospholipid has three phosphate groups attached to the glycerol molecule rather than three fatty acid chains. | False |
| What is the difference between Ca and Ca2+? | Ca2+ has lost 2 electrons. |

| What group of elements accounts for more than 95% of the human body by weight? | Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen. |
| Nucleic acids are composed of building blocks called amino acids. | False |
| The difference in hydrogen ion concentration between solutions with pH 4 and pH 5 is__________. | Ten-Fold |
| Two negatively charged bromide (Br-) ions exist in solution. They will be attracted to each other and form an ionic bond. | False |
| What building blocks form triglycerides? | Three fatty acids and one glycerol |
| What particles are located in the nucleus of an atom? | Protons and neutrons |
| Which of the following is an element? | Iron |
| Lard, a fat that is solid at room temperature, will have__________ than peanut oil. | more single carbon-carbon bonds |
| Salt is placed in a glass of water. Slowly the salt begins to move from one area to another area. What factor caused the movement of the salt? | Concentration gradient |
| The framework of a cell membrane is a lipid bilayer. | True |
| During anaphase of mitosis, centromeres and replicated chromosomes separate. | True |
| What is the correct sequence of organelles and cell parts involved in milk secretion? | Nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, vesicles, cell membrane |
| Cell membranes are described as a fluid mosaic that maintains stability while still allowing movement. What component is responsible for most of the flexibility of the membrane? | Phospholipid bilayer |
| Peroxisomes and lysosomes are sacs that contain enzymes. | True |

| Cytoplasm is located between the cell membrane and the nuclear envelope. | True |
| The process by which cells specialize is called differentiation. | True |
| Adrenoleukodystrophy is a genetic disorder that affects the nervous system. The gene abnormality causes a lack of an enzyme that breaks down very long chain fatty acids outside the cell. The resulting over-accumulation causes brain degeneration. What orga | Peroxisomes |
