Honors Biology S1 17

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
Amino Acids   Compounds with an amino group on one end and a carboxyl group on the other.  
🗑
Macromolecules   Very big molecules; formed by polymerization.  
🗑
Polymerization   The fusing of smaller compounds to make larger ones.  
🗑
Carbohydrates   Hydrogen, Carbon, Oxygen (1:2:1): Building blocks are simple sugars; main energy source for living things.  
🗑
Amino group (i.e. -NH2)   Left side of cell grouping  
🗑
Side Chain (variable)   Bottom of cell grouping  
🗑
Carboxyl Group   Right side of cell grouping  
🗑
Proteins   Macromolecules that contain nitrogen as well as hydrogen, carbon and oxygen. Some control the rate of reactions and regulate cell processes.  
🗑
Acid   Any compound that forms hydrogen (H+) ions in solutions. pH<7.  
🗑
Neutral   pH=7 (Pure Water)  
🗑
Base   Any compound that produces hydroxide (OH) ions in solutions. pH>7.  
🗑
pH   Power Of Hydrogen  
🗑
Enzymes   Proteins that act as biological catalysts (speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction). Affected by time, temperature, and pH.  
🗑
Monosaccharide   "One sugar" i.e. C6H1206. Molecules can have different shapes and/or arrangements of atoms/ions. (Examples: Glactose, Fructose [fruits], and galactose)  
🗑
Disaccharide   "Two sugars" Double Molecule sugars. Examples: Lactose, Maltose, Sucrose.  
🗑
Polysaccharide   "Many Sugars" Have long chains; many simple sugars joined together. (Examples: Starch, Glycogen, Cellulose.)  
🗑
Elements are made of   only one kind of atom.  
🗑
What is shared when a covalent bond occurs?   Electrons  
🗑
What are the outermost electrons are called?   Valence electrons  
🗑
A solution is a   evenly distributed mixture of two or more substances.  
🗑


   

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.
