question
answer
the study of carbon compounds is called what?   organic chemistry  
🗑
how do carbon atoms form diverse molecules?   by bonding to atlwast four other atoms  
🗑
a small group of chemical groups is key to what?   functioning of biological molecules  
🗑
carbon is what in relation to life?   the backbone  
🗑
plants use solar energy to transform CO2 and form what?   molecules of life  
🗑
carbon is unparalleled in it's ability to form what types of molecules?   large, complex, and diverse ones  
🗑
what has made possible the diversity of organisms?   the diversity of carbon  
🗑
Proteins, DNA, carbohydrates, and other molecules are bonded in what ways?   to each other and to atoms of other elements  
🗑
other "living" matter compounds consist of what 5 compounds other than carbon?   hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and phosphorusc  
🗑
compounds containing carbon are called what?   organic  
🗑
most organic compounds tend to contain what in addition to carbon atoms?   hydrogen atoms  
🗑
what major elements of life in block form?   CHONSP  
🗑
different species/individuals of a species vary in what type of molecules?   organic molecules  
🗑
chemists made simple compounds in what time period?   the early 1800's  
🗑
Vitalism by Jakob is a belief that what is outside chemical and physical laws?   a life force  
🗑
inorganic salt an attempt in 1828 by Wohler trying to make inoragnic salt by mixing a solution of ammonia and cynate ions but ended up with what?   urea  
🗑
who made an organic compound from inorganic substance?   Hermmane Kolbe  
🗑
abiotic nonliving sythesis of living compounds a text written by Stanley miller in 1953 through his Miller experiments testing early earth conditions   a text written by Stanley miller in 1953 through his Miller experiments testing early earth conditions  
🗑
mechanism   physical and chemical laws govern all phenomenon  
🗑
the foundation of organic chemistry   is not some intangible life force, but the unique chemical versatility of the element carbon  
🗑
When Miller tried the experiment without electrical discharge, no organic compounds were found.   the spark could provides energy needed for inorganic molecules in the atmosphere to react with each other  
🗑
What if Miller increased the concentration of NH3 in his experiment, how might the relative amounts of the products HCN and CH2O have differed?   because the concentration of the reactants influences the equilibrium there might be more HCN relative to CH2O, since there would be higher concentrations of the reactant gas that causes hydrogen  
🗑
What conclusion can Stanley Miller draw when he found amino acids in his experiment?   Amino acids are essential for living organisms. Their synthesis from gases of primitive atmosphere on earth demonstrates that life's molecules could initially have been synthesized from non living molecules  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
