5646821349Congress of Vienna(1815) Following Napoleon's exile, this meeting of European rulers in Austria established a system by which the balance of power would be maintained, liberal revolutions would be repressed, as would imperial expansion, and the creation of new countries in Europe.128

5646845807Revolutions of 1848Democratic and nationalist revolutions that swept across Europe during a time after the Congress of Vienna when conservative monarchs were trying to maintain their power.

10054856866Biomelarge distinct terrestrial region having similar climate, soil, plants & animals.67
10054856867Tropical Rain Forestscharacterized by the greatest diversity of species, believed to include many undiscovered species. Occur near the equator. Soils tend to be low in nutrients. Distinct seasonality: winter is absent, and only two seasons are present (rainy and dry).68
10054856868Temperate Forestsoccur in eastern North America, Japan, northeastern Asia, and western and central Europe. Dominated by tall deciduous trees. Well-defined seasons include a distinct winter. Logged extensively, only scattered remnants of original temperate forests remain.69
10054856869Boreal Forests or Taigarepresent the largest terrestrial biome. Dominated by needleleaf, coniferous trees. Found in the cold climates of Eurasia and North America: two-thirds in Siberia with the rest in Scandinavia, Alaska, and Canada. Seasons are divided into short, moist, and moderately warm summers and long, cold, and dry winters. Extensive logging may soon cause their disappearance.70
10054856870Temperate Shrub Landsoccurs along the coast of Southern California and the Mediterranean region. Characterized by areas of Chaparral-miniature woodlands dominated by dense stands of shrubs.71
10054856871Savannasgrassland with scattered individual trees. Cover almost half the surface of Africa and large areas of Australia, South America, and India. Warm or hot climates where the annual rainfall is 20-50 inches per year. The rainfall is concentrated in six or eight months of the year, followed by a long period of drought when fires can occur.72
10054856872Temperate Grasslandsdominated by grasses, trees and large shrubs are absent. Temperatures vary more from summer to winter, and the amount of rainfall is less than in savannas. Temperate grasslands have hot summers and cold winters. Occur in South Africa, Hungary, Argentina, the steppes of the former Soviet Union, and the plains and prairies of central North America.73
10054856873Desertscovers about one fifth of the Earth's surface and occur where rainfall is less than 50 cm/year. Most deserts occur at low latitudes, have a considerable amount of specialized vegetation, as well as specialized animals. Soils have abundant nutrients, need only water to become productive, and have little or no organic matter. Common disturbances include occasional fires or cold weather, and sudden, infrequent, but intense rains that cause flooding.74
10054856874Tundratreeless plains that are the coldest of all the biomes. Occur in the arctic and Antarctica. Dominated by lichens, mosses, sedges, and dwarfed shrubs Characterized by extremely cold climate, permanently frozen ground (permafrost) low biotic diversity, simple vegetation structure, limitation of drainage, short season of growth and reproduction.75

10054856876Fresh Waterdefined as having a low salt concentration (less than 1%). Plants and animals are adjusted to the low salt content and would not be able to survive in areas of high salt concentration (i.e., ocean). There are different types of freshwater regions: ponds and lakes, streams and rivers, and estuaries.77

4816038276Key characteristics of celluloseThey make up cell walls and use all beta-glucose molecules26
4816039799What elements are present in lipids?C and H27
4816041707What are the functions of lipids?To store energy and act as waterproof coverings. i.e: cell membranes28
4816044265What are the building blocks of lipids?Glycerol and fatty acids29
4816045308Are lipids polar or nonpolar? Hydrophilic or hydrophobic?Nonpolar and hyrophobic30
4816051234What are two unique things about saturated lipids?They have the maximum number of H-bonded to the C of the molecule and therefore has no double bonds. They are generally solid at room temperature. i.e: butter31
4816052468What are two unique things about unsaturated lipids?They have at least one double bond of carbon and are generally liquid at room temperature. i.e: peanut oil, canola oil, vegetable oil, etc.32
4816059525What are the characteristics of phospholipids?They make up cell membranes, have both polar and nonpolar regions, and the polar (hydrophilic) regions can interact with water33
4816062562What are the characteristics of steroids?They are lipids that have 4 fused rings attached to a carbon skeleton, are nonpolar (hydrophobic) and are insoluble in water.34
4816064270What elements are present in nucleic acids?C,H,O,P, and N35
4816104181What is the function of nucleic acids?To store and transmit genetic information36
4816104891What are the monomers of nucleic acids?Nucleotides. i.e: Cytosine, Guanine, Thymine and Adenine and Uracil in RNA37
4816107178What are the polymers of nucleic acids?DNA or RNA38
4816108458What makes up a nucleotide?Phosphate group, a nitrogen base, and a 5-carbon sugar39
4816110306What elements are present in proteins?C,H,O, and N and have four organizational groups40
4816111156What are the functions of proteins?To control reaction rates, some form bones and muscles, to transport substances, and to make hormones41
4816114749What are the monomers of proteins?Amino Acids42
4816115489What are the polymers of proteins?Polypeptides43
4816116694What is the primary structure of a protein?The specific amino acid sequence44
4816117715What is the secondary structure of a protein?The making of an alpha helix or beta pleated sheet depending on where the hydrogen bonding between the peptide backbones are.45
4816118707What is the tertiary structure of a protein?The final 3D shape, results from various bonding between the R-Groups, R-Groups form H-Bonds, disulfide bridges, and ionic bonds.46
4816121372What is the quaternary structure of a protein?The final shape either fibrous or globular. It results in the clustering of multiple peptide chains47
4816123115What is denaturing?When the bonds of a protein break because conditions are not ideal, this changes its shape and affects its ability to function properly.48
