Question
Answer
dehydration synthesis   removal of H from 1 molecule and OH from a second molecule in order to connect the 2 molecules. (removing water)  
🗑
synthesis   process of putting together small molecules to make larger molecules  
🗑
hydrolysis   addition of H and OH in order to break covalent bond between molecules  
🗑
function of carbohydrates   to provide energy  
🗑
monomer of carbohydrates   saccharides  
🗑
examples of simple sugars   monosaccharides= fructose, glucose disaccharide= maltose, sucrose  
🗑
examples of polysaccharides   glycogen- stored energy in animals starch- stored energy in plants cellulose- cell walls; not digestible; known as fiber  
🗑
shape of carbohydrate   5 or 6 sided ring  
🗑
carbohydrate foods   fruits, veggies, legumes (for fiber)  
🗑
function of lipids   pigments, sterols, waxes, energy  
🗑
phospholipids function   cell membranes  
🗑
saturated   fatty acids with C-C bonds; solids; animal fats  
🗑
unsaturated   fatty acids with C=C bonds; liquids; plant fats  
🗑
lipid foods   butter, lard, cooking oils, chicken skin, avocados  
🗑
function of proteins   structural- bones, hair, feather, muscles, web chemical- transportation (hemoglobin, glucose) , antibodies (immune system), Enzymes  
🗑
monomer of proteins   amino acids  
🗑
name of bond that holds amino acids together   peptide bond  
🗑
protein foods   meat, fish, dairy, legumes, eggs  
🗑
characteristics of life   metabolism, homeostasis, heredity, reproduction, develop, grow.  
🗑
metabolism   all the chemical reactions that occur in an organism  
🗑
heredity   passing of traits from parent to offspring  
🗑
homeostasis   process that maintains an internal balance in the organism  
🗑
reproduction   process where organisms make more of their own kinds; how DNA is given to offspring  
🗑
develop   mature- organism changes from birth to death  
🗑
grow   add more cells  
🗑
3 parts of the cell theory   1. all organisms are made of 1 or more cells 2. cells are the basic function of all life 3. cells come from other cells  
🗑
cell parts of prokaryotes   1. cell wall 2. cell membrane 3. cytoplasm 4. ribosomes 5. DNA  
🗑
difference between eukaryotes and prokaryotes   eukaryotes= contain nucleus and organelles prokaryotes= contain no nucleus and no organelles  
🗑
ribosomes function   assemble proteins  
🗑
cell wall function   structure and support (plants; cellulose)  
🗑
DNA/chromosome function   directs making of proteins and reproduction  
🗑
golgi function   packaging for distribution  
🗑
mitochondria function   make cellular energy- ATP  
🗑
chloroplasts function   assembles glucose- photosynthesis  
🗑
cell membrane function   regulates what enters and leaves the cell  
🗑
rER function   finishes off proteins  
🗑
sER function   makes lipids and destroys poisons  
🗑
central vacuole function   holds water and other ions (plants)  
🗑
cytoplasm function   metabolism- where most chemical reactions occur; location of organelles  
🗑
nucleolus function   assembles ribosomes  
🗑
lysosomes function   hydrolysis- break down macromolecules  
🗑
peroxisomes function   converts fats to carbs or changes toxins to benign  
🗑

in order to have a nucleus a cell needs a __________ ____________.   nuclear membrane  
🗑
   
🗑
simple sugars are _________________   monosaccharides  
🗑
plants use ___________ to support their stems, leaves, and roots.   cellulose  
🗑
in humans, cellulose serves as a source of _____________   fiber  
🗑
two factors that determine shape of protein   type and order of amino acids being used and the hydrogen bonds created due to the type and order of the amino acids.  
🗑


   

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.
