Biology Honors Final

QuestionAnswer
What is a hypothesis? logical explanation to a scientific problem that hasn't been tested
What is a theory? A statement or scientific idea backed up by evidence
What is the organization of life? atom, molecule, biomolecule,organelle, cell,tissue,organ,organ system, multicellular organism, individual, population, community,ecosystem, biosphere
What is a prokaryote? A eukaryote? single-celled organism; multi-cellular organism
What does organic mean? containing carbon
What are the 6 characteristics of life? respond to stimulus, grows and develops, needs energy/makes waste, has dna, cellular,reproduces
What are the steps in the scientific method? observe/form a question, research, hypothesis, experiment/collect data, conclusion, repeat work, theories and laws formed after enough trials
What are the 6 keys to a valid experiment? make sure the hypothesis fits the experiment, control being used, make sure other items are controlled, only 1 variable being tested, all data is recorded/analyzed, experiment and results are repeatable
What is the independent variable and what depends on it? The variable that doesn't change; the dependent variable
What is a control group? duplicate setup of experiment that is identical to the experimental group except for the variable being tested
What are constants? Data? things kept the same for both groups; information obtained from the experiments
What the difference between deductive and inductive? Deductive is based on factual evidence, while inductive is based on logical reasoning
What is matter? Energy? Matter is anything that takes up space while energy is the ability to do work or what powers matter?
What is the first law of Thermodynamics? The second? Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only converted.; Energy cannot be converted at 100% efficiency
What is the conservation of matter law? We can account for all atoms on both sides of the equation?
Name the functional groups for the following Carbohydrate Lipid Nucleic Acid Protein OH C=O-OH P NH2
What are the monomers of Proteins amino acids bonded by peptides
What are the monomers of Lipids 3 fatty acids and a glycerol
How do you get a sterol? A phospholipid? a circular lipid; remove a fatty acids and add a phosphate
what are the monomers of carbohydrates? saccharides
What are the monomers of nucleic acids? What makes up these monomers? nucelotides; a phosphate, sugar and nitrogenous base
What are the nitrogenous bases? Uracil, cytosine, thymine, guanine, adenine
What nitrogenous bases bond together? Adenine and Thymine; Cytosine and Guanine
What is hydrolysis? Breaking down of a large molecule and in the process of cleavage, H and OH are released
What is condensation reaction? bonding 2 smaller molecules together releasing water in the bonding process
Why doesn't Ne need to bond? It is a noble gas, already has a full valence
What are the two types of covalent bonds? Polar covalent (water) and regular covalent (any other covalent bond)
What is the difference between an ionic bond and a covalent bond? ionic-transferring electrons covalent-sharing electrons
Name each water property and what it is. polarity...cohesion...adhesion...high specific heat....universal solvent...lessdense as solid than liquid...
Which transport requires energy? active
What transport goes from high to low? passive
If its hypotonic, it is also: hyper-osmotic
isotonic/ iso-osmotic
hypertonic/ hypo-osmotic
What is an enzyme? a biological catalyst used to start/speed up reactions
What is the lock and key? A nonreactive molecule blocks the active site of the enzyme so that the substrate cannot enter the active site until there is a sufficient amount of substrate before the enzyme converts it into a product
What is denaturation? The disruption of an enzyme's shape/breakage of weak bonds
What causes denaturatioN? pH, temperature
What is the different between plant and animal cells Plants are rectangular, have plastids, tonoplast, a cell wall, a larger vacuole, don't use centrioles, while animals have centrioles and a nucelolous
What is a nucleus? The brain of the cell, keeps RNA from damaging
Nucleolous? where proteins and RNa are assembled/ stored
Smooth/Rough ER? operates as a transport system. Smooth-no ribosomes; Rough-has ribosomes
Chloroplast Food producers of the plant, contain chlorophyll needed for photosynthesis. Where photosynthesis occurs
Microfilaments small component of cytoskeleton
Microtubules large component of cytoskeleton
What is the function of microfilaments and microtubules? used for cell motion, shape, and growth
mitochondria powerhouse in the cell, provides energy
centrioles used in mitosis for animal cells only
golgi body assembles/packages lipids and polypeptide chains for use in the cell
lysosome vesicle filled with enzymes, used for intracellular digestion
vacuole stores waste, water, and starches
nuclear envelope outer boundary of nucleus
Nuclear pore hole in the nucelus, lets things in and out
cytoplasm all cell parts, jelly like substances
What is the phosphate head? hydrophilic, used to lure water in
What is the lipid tail? hydrophobic, keeps water from staying in the lipid layer
antenna used for spacing to tell the cell when its getting to large
Transport protein helps move large materials throughout cell
adhesion protein puts cells together to make tissues, organs, etc
communication protein used for near cells to send signals to each other
receptor proteins dock for signals for far away cells to communicate
Recognition protein helps to identify cell as "self" or "nonself"
What is the cell theory? 1) all living things are cellular, 2) cells are smallest functioning unit in all living things 3) cells come from pre-existing cells
What did Schwann do? put to concept that all living things are cellular
Virchow did what? Discovered that cells come from other cells
Van Leewenhoek did what? was the first too observe living cells
What is the cell cycle? life of a cell
What equation is this? C6H12O6 + ATP +ADP+ P + NAD -> NADH + 2 PYRUVATES + ATP + ADP + P GLYCOLYSIS
pyruvate + NAD + ADP+P -> CO2 + NADH + ATP? Citric Acid Cycle
raw materials for ATP + O2 +NADH --> ATP+H2O+ NAD+heat ETC
H2O +NADP+ADP+P--> NADPH+02+ATP Light Reactions
NADPH +CO2+ATP--> C6H1206 +NADP+ADP+P calvin cycle
6CO2 +6H2O+ATP -->C6H1206 +6O2 General Photosynthesis
C6H1206 +6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O+ ATP + HEAT General Cellular Respiration
What processes require oxygen? ETC and Citric Acid Cycle
What is catabolic/anabolic? breaking down, building up
What are the differences between RNA and DNA? Rna is in the nuceolous while DNa is in the nucelus, Rna is single stranded while Dna is double stranded, Rna 's sugar is ribose and Dna's sugar is deoxyribose, Rna's bases are A, U, C, G and DNA bases are A, T, C, G

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.
