7879583273explain the difference between organic and inorganic moleculesorganic contain both carbon and hydrogen. inorganic contain other elements0
7879583274building blocks of carbs, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acidsmonosaccharides, 3 fatty acids and a glycerol, amino acids, and a nucleotide1
7879583275bond created between carbs, lipids, proteins and nucleic acidsglycosidic linkage, ester linkage, peptide bonds, and hydrogen bonds2
7879583276an example of carbs, lipids, proteins and nucleic acidsstarch, fat, transport, and DNA3
7879583277explain how the chemical reactions dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis are involved in the creation and destruction of macromoleculesdehydration synthesis- 2 monomers are connected by the loss of a water molecule hydrolysis- 2 monomers are disconnected by the addition of a water molecule4
7879583279amino acidhas an amine group on one side which is 2 hydrogens connected with a nitrogen and on the other side it has a carboxyl group which is a carbon double bonded to a oxygen and a single bonded -OH with an R side chain (varies)5
7879583280fatty acida long carbon skeleton connected to a carboxyl group at the end6
7879583281phosphate groupphosphate bonded with 2 oxygens (one with a double bond) and 2 -OHs7
7879583284chemical properties of amino acidchanges in the side chain (R) can result in a change in job specification (affects its role in a polypeptide)8
7879583285chemical properties of fatty acidssaturated includes only single bonds which are solid and have no kinks, whereas unsaturated contain at least one double bond which are liquid and have at least one kink9
7879583286chemical properties of phosphate groupscontributes to the negativity of whatever particle it is attached to, when attached to a molecule they have the potential to react with water10
7879583287describe the structure and chemical properties of phosopholipidsstructure: polar, hydrophillic head and nonpolar, hydrophobic tails and diversity is based on the differences in the fatty acid tails chemical: hydroplillic "water loving" and hydrophobic "fear of water" together phospholipids are amphipathic11
7879583288structure and functional properties of saturated fatty acid tailstructure: contains only single bonds with lipid structure and a phosphate group functional: packed tightly forming a solid12
7879583289structure and functional properties of unsaturated fatty acid tailstructure: contains at least one double bond with lipid structure and a phosphate group functional: loosely packed forming a liquid13
7879583290structural differences between DNA and RNADNA: double helix, ATCG RNA: single helix, AUCG (smaller for transport)14
7879583291primary structure-linear chain of amino acids -in a specific sequence -determined by DNA -dictates secondary and tertiary structures (R chains cause reactions with eachother) -peptide bonds15
7879583292secondary structure-folds and coils of polypeptide chain repeatedly contribute to overall shape -a helix or b pleated sheets -hydrogen bonds16
7879583293tertiary structure-3D shape -shaped by interactions between R side chain - bonds include Hydrogen bonds Ionic bonds Van der Waals-weak Disulfide bridges17
7879583294quaternary structure-multiple polypeptide chain folded together forming a protein example: collagen or hemoglobin18
7879583299what is the function of an enzyme and what does it do to complete its function?-a protein macromolecule that acts as a catalyst -speeds up metabolic reactions by lowering the activation energy barrier -allows the reactants to absorb enough energy to react at room temperature19
7879583300list factors that affect enzyme activity and for each be sure to explain how they affect the enzyme-temperature (substrates collide more frequently under higher temperatures) -pH -optimal20
7879583303compare and contrast prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells-prokaryotic- DNA found in nucleoid -DNA is circular with 1 chromosome -evolved before eukaryotic -simple -plasma membrane, cell wall, flaggellum, nucleoid, ribosomes, capsule, and cytosol -lack membrane-bound organelles -small -eukaryotic-DNA in nucleus (double membrane) -linear chromosomes -membrane bound organelles -larger similarities:-interior cytoplasm -plasma membrane -cell walls (plants only for eukaryotic) -chromosomes, DNA, and ribosomes -cytoskeleton21
7879583304tell the function of lysosomefunctions:-breaks down macromolecules and digests worn out cell components22
7879583305tell the structure and function of ERstructure: -folded flattened function: -(smooth) manufacture of carbs and lipids -(rough) protein synthesis23
7879583306tell the structure and function of golgi bodiesstructure: -flattened sacs (pita bread) function: -collects, packages, and distributes molecules manufactured in the cell24
7879583307tell the structure and function of ribosomestructure: -small sphere function: -site of protein synthesis25
7879583308tell the structure and function of vacuolestructure: -sac function: -isolate materials -containers26
7879583309tell the structure and function of nucleusstructure: -large sphere function: -command center27
7879583310tell the structure and function of mitochondriastructure: -bacteria shaped function: -cellular respiration -create ATP28
7879583311tell the structure and function of peroxisomestructure: -sac function: -contains enzymes that carry out particular reactions like detox29
7879583312tell the structure and function of nucleolusstructure: -small dense sphere function: -site of ribosome synthesis30
7879583314list structures found in animal cells that arent found in plants cellscentrosomes, lysosomes, centrioles31
7879583316structure and function of the cell membranestructure: -fluid mosaic model: fluid is the phospholipids and the mosaic pieces are proteins, carbs, cholesterols, oligosaccharides, glycolipids, and glycoproteins function: -integral proteins: channel and carrier -peripheral proteins: structural shape to the plasma membrane -cholesterol: increases membrane fluidity during cold -oligosaccharides and carbohydrates: cell-cell recognition -glycolipids and glycoproteins: proteins with attachments for cell-cell recognition32
7879583317water potential(water potential=solute potential+pressure potential) -determines the direction of water movement -affected by solute and pressure potential33
7879583318solute potential(solute potential= -iCRT) -proportional to the osmolarity of a solution -can be either 0 or negative34
7879583319pressure potential-physical pressure on a solution -negative sucks -positive presses35
7879583320hypertonic solution-the solution with more solute -sucks liquid from comparative solution -cell loses water -salt h2036
7879583321hypotonic solution-the solution with less solute -adds liquid to comparative solution -cell takes in more water -pure water37
7879583322isotonic-same solute concentration -no change -saline38
7879583323why does water move from hypotonic to hypertonic?-water moves towards areas of higher solute concentration39
7879583324exocytosis-cell secretes certain biological molecules by the fusion of vesicles with the plasma membrane40
7879583325endocytosis-liquids or are taken up by the cellthrough invagination of the plasma membrane41
78795833263 types of endoctyosis-phagocytosis: cell engulfs particle through wrapping pseudopodia around it, in a vacuole -pinocytosis: cell gulps droplets of extracellular fluid into tiny vesicles -receptor-mediated: cell may acquire bulk quantities of specific substances, even though substances may not be very concentrated in extracellular fluid42
7879583327bulk transport-endocytosis and exocytosis43
