Cumulative Review Bio 1 (Chemistry, Cells, Energy) Flashcards
Bonds
link btw atoms
Covalent Bonds
sharing one or more pairs of electrons-strong bonds
Ionic Bond
attraction btw two oppositely charged ions
When do Hydrogens Bonds btw water molecules occur? Strong or weak?
when the slightly pos hydrogen atom of one water molecule is attracted to slightly neg charge of oxygen atom on another water molecule-weak bonds
Why is water cohesive (stick to itself) and adhesive (stick to other things)?
Hydrogen Bonds
What is an example of cohesion?
Surface Tension (insect crawling on water)
Major groups of organic (living) compounds?
Carbs, Lipids, Proteins, Nucleic Acid
Carbohydrates
monosaccharides like glucose and polysaccharides like starch
Lipids
fats, oils, waxes, steroids-made of long hydro-carbon chains call fatty acids
Proteins
made of monomers called amino acids
Nucleic Acids (RNA-single strand, DNA-double strand)
made of monomers called nucleotides
Prokaryotes
Bacteria and Archaea-have cell walls but no nucleus (some are autotrophs and some are heterotrophs)
Are prokaryotes asexual or sexual?
All prokaryotes are asexual
Eukaryotes
have cell wall and nucleus, ER, and Golgi (some autotrophs and some heterotrophs)
Eukaryotes asexual or sexual?
some are asexual, but most are sexual
Important Organic Molecules with cell membrane (5)
Carbs, lipids, nucleic acid, proteins, and ribosomes)
Ribosomes
used to make protein
What is the purpose of phospholipids and proteins in membranes?
Phospholipids form barrier/Proteins serve various functions like passageways, enzymes, and receptors of information
What is cells Metabolism?
All chemical reactions in a cell
Exergonic vs. Endergonic
Release energy/Require energy
ATP
Energy source of all cells-fuel all endergonic processes
Enzymes
Required for all rxns (exergonic/endergonic)-lower the energy required for rxn to begin
Photosynthesis
Autotrophs-energy of light-makes glucose from CO2
Photosynthesis Formula
Light + CO2 + H2O—> Glucose + H2O
Cellular Respiration (3)
Cells make ATP from glucose energy- Glycolysis, Krebs Cycle, Electron Transport Chain
Cell Respiration Formula
Glucose +O2 —-> CO2 + H2O + 36 ATP
Why does the Electron Transport Chain use oxygen?
To accept electrons taken from glucose (exergonic process)
