Chapters1-5 Mader

Study material for chapters 1-5 from Essentials of Biology 2nd Edition (Mader)

QuestionAnswer
When is a polysaccharide easiest to break down? When it is branched, or when it is spiraled? When it is branched.
How are glucose molecules differently bonded in cellulose than they are in starch and glycogen? The glucose molecules in cellulose is bound by hydrogen bonding.
In chitin, each glucose subunit has what kind of functional group connected? An Amino group.
Fats and oils are called triglicerides because of their....what? One glycerole molecule has three -OH groups, and must bond with three -COOH molecules from fatty acids. This causes the triglyceride to have three long fatty acids attached to each glycerol molecule.
What is the difference between an unsaturated fatty acid, a monounsaturated fatty acid, and a trans-fatty acid? Monounsaturated oils have 1 double bond in their chain. Saturated oils have no double bonds, so they don't bend. Trans-fatty acids are partially hydrogenated.
What is constructed like a triglyceride, except has a phosphate group instread of 3 fatty acids? Phospholipids. They have a charged phosphate group and 2 fatty acid tails.
__________ are lipids that posses a unique carbon skeleton of 4 bonded rings, and unlike other lipids, they contain no _______. Steroids. They contain no fatty acids.
The structure and function of cells differs according to the type of ______ they contain. Protein.
Proteins are polymers, and their monomers are what? Amino acids.
The name 'Amino Acid' is appropriate because one of the two functional groups is __________, and another is ___________. Amino, and another is Carboxyl.
A proteins sequence of Amino Acids is called its...what? Primary structure.
Protein have multiple levels of structure called the _________, __________, ___________, and ___________. Primary, Secondary, Tertiary, and Quaternary structures.
________bonds between nearby peptide bonds maintains the secondary structure. Hydrogen bonds.
Plants store glucose as what? Starch.
Animals store glucose as what? Glycogen.
Two dissaccharides are... Maltose and Sucrose
Polysaccharides as energy are... Maltose, and Sucrose
Plysaccharides as structure are... Cellulose and Chitin.
What is the difference in the molecular structure of cellulose used for storage and cellulose used as structure? When it is used as structure, it is nonbranched and forms fibrous material. When used as an energy source, it is either branched, or highly branched.
What are the six fundemental elements? CHNOPS Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Phosphorus, and Sulfer.
Carbohydrates serve as...(2 types of energy and another thing...) Immediate and stored energy, also as structureal molecules.
Lipids serve as nature's.... Long-term energy storage, and components to the cell membrane.
Some examples of lipids are what? Fats, Oils, Phospholipids, Steriods.
The monomers of lipids are what two things? Glycerol and fatty acid.
The monomer of Carbohydrates is what? Glucose.
Three examples of carbohydrates are m_____________, d______________, p_______________ Monosaccharides, disaccharides, polysaccharides.
The monomer of protein is what? Amino Acid.
Proteins can serve many functions in living things. They have 4 functions. What are they? Support, metabolic transport, regulation, motion.
Nucleic acids are the polymers of what? Nucleotides.
Two examples of nucleic acids are? DNA and RNA.
Nucleic acids do what? Sore genetic information.
A nerve cell ______. (verb) Conducts.
A muscle cell _______. (Verb) Contracts.
A gland cell _______. (verb) Secretes.
A bone cell ______. (verb) Supports.
The 19th century light microscope allows us to see cells, but not much of their ______. The ______ __ _______ limits the amount they can reveal. Complexity. Properties of light.
Electron microscopes, discovered in the year _____, overcome the limit of light microscopes by using beams of ______ instead of light for illumination. 1930, electrons.
Cells are small because smaller subjects have a greater ______-to-______-to- ______- ratio. Cells must have the right surface area requirements met to allow ______ to enter and ______ to exit. Surface-to-area-to volume-ratio, nutrients to enter and waste to exit.
The _____ _____ regulates what enters and exits cells, the _____ carries on chemical reactions. Plasma membrane, cytoplasm
Cells are divided into two types according to the way the...what...is organized? Genetic Material
Prokaryotic cells lack a _____ ______ nucleus, so their DNA is located in a region called the what? Membrane bound nucleus, nucleoid
Organisms from the domains bacteria and Archaea are what kind of cells? prokaryotic
The _____ is a gel-like coating on the outside of the cell wall of prokaryotic cells made of ____. capsule
What are the six fundemental elements? CHNOPS Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Phosphorus, and Sulfer.
Carbohydrates serve as...(2 types of energy and another thing...) Immediate and stored energy, also as structureal molecules.
Lipids serve as nature's.... Long-term energy storage, and components to the cell membrane.

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.
