33
Q

Carbon 14 dating explained

A

carbon is already present in the atmosphere and the suns cosmic rays collide with free roaming atoms to create an excited neutron–> the excited neutron then collides with atmospheric N14 causing a proton to be kicked out and the Neutron replacing it. Carbon dioxide is created

Q

How is the period table created

by taking sharing or giving their electrons

38
Q

Q

the presence of a polar covalent bond…( finish the sentence )

A

does not always mean its a polar structure molecule

46
Q

what prefixes are referred to when you have a carbon on carbon bond

A

ane, ene, yne

47
Q

isomers

A

compounds with the same formula but different structures that lead to different properties

48
Q

functional groups

A

groups of atoms that occur within molecules and confer specific chemical properties to those molecules

large molecules that are built from smaller organic (contains carbon) molecules
Carbohydrates
Nucleic acids
proteins
lipids

50
Q

dehydration synthesis

A

bonding while loosing water
- monomers release water molecules as a byproduct
- monomers make polymers through covelent bonding

51
Q

Hydrolysis

A

Polymers break down into monomers
- inserting water molecules across the bond

Q

Gluconeogenesis

A

Glycolysis: the breakdown of glucose
Glycogenesis: the formation of glycogen
Glycogenolysis: the breakdown of glycogen

56
Q

A

as starch
Plants can synthesize glucose, and they store the excess glucose, beyond their immediate energy needs, as starch in different plant parts, including roots and seeds.

57
Q

glycogen

A

is the storage form of glucose in humans and other vertebrates and is comprised of monomers of glucose.

58

Lipid used for long term energy storage
glycol backbone and 3 fatty acid chains
saturated or not

61
Q

Started vs unsaturated

A

S- structure has maximum number of hydrogens, found in animal foods( coconuts, palm oil)
US- at least one double bond and less hydrogens(Beneficial fats bc improves blood cholesterol level, room temp liquid, fish, grains, avocados)

62

most common steroid
- necessary for the body to function properly
- transported through blood

difference in size between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells

A

.1 to 5um in diameer for prokaryotic
10 to 100 um

64
Q

Prokaryotic cells

A

Pro- old karyon- nucleus
- no nucleus
- mostly single celled
- peptidoglycan in their walls
- any waste products can quickly diffuse due to its small size

65
Q

Eukaryotic cells

A

Eu- new Karyon- nucleus
- advance type of cell
- has a defined nucleus

66
Q

Yersinia pestis case

A

The plague came from this bacteria
- bacteria is found mainly in the rats and fleas that feed on them
- primarily effects rodents and is transmitted to other mammals
- its causes bubonic –> pneumonic—> septicemic plague

67
Q

Proteins

A

One of the most abundant organic molecules in living systems and has the most diverse range of functions of all macromolecules
- may serve in transport, storage or membrane
- each cell in the living system could contain thousands of proteins
- amino acid polymers

67
Q

Amino acids

A

we get them from our diet
- for each acid the r group is different
- conditional amino acids are usually not essential except in times of illness
- The sequence and the number of amino acids ultimately determine the protein’s shape, size, and function

68
Q

shapes of proteins

A

Primary structure- Amino acids unique sequence in a polypeptide chain
Secondary structure- The local folding of the polypeptide in some regions gives rise to the secondary structure of the protein
Tertiary structure- This structure is in part due to chemical interactions are work on the polypeptide chain
Quaternary structure- Some proteins form from several polypeptides, or subunits, and the interaction of these subunits forms the

69
Q

Collegen is…

A

the most abundant protein in your body
30% of the proteins in your body

Primary building block of your body’s skin, muscles, bones, tendons and ligaments and other connective tissues
Also found in organs, blood vessels and intestinal lining
