Extras

Question 1

What are the 3 components of a nucleotide monomer?

Answer 1

PHOSPHATE GROUP, SUGAR, AND NITROGENOUS BASE.

Question 2

Define chemical buffer.

Answer 2

MOLECULES THAT ARE READY TO EITHER ACCEPT OR DONATE A PROTON TO HELP MAINTAIN A STABLE pH (NEUTRIALIZE)

Question 3

Define base.

Answer 3

ACCEPT PROTONS IN WATER. DECREASE THE CONCENTRATION OF HYDROGEN IONS. AKA PROTON ACCEPTOR. WILL HAVE A BIGGER NUMBER OF pH VALUE. (think base, big number)

Question 4

Define acid.

Answer 4

DISSOCIATES IN WATER TO PRODUCE A HYDROGEN ION AND ANION. INCREASES CONCENTRATION OF HYDROGEN IONS. AKA PROTON DONORS. WILL HAVE LOWER NUMBER OF pH VALUE

Question 5

Understand the relationship between hydrogen ions and Ph.

Answer 5

pH: MEASURE OF AMOUNTS OF HYDROGEN IONS. MORE HYDROGEN IONS, ACIDIC. LESS HYDROGEN IONS, BASIC.

Question 6

How many different amino acids are there?

Answer 6

20. REPRESENTED BY VARIABLE R

Question 7

What are the classes of lipids?

Answer 7

PETS. PHOSPHOLIPIDS, EICOSANOIDS, TRIGLYCERIDES, STEROIDS

Question 8

Know the different classes of biological macromolecules.

Answer 8

Carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, nucleic acid

Question 9

Characteristics of lipids

Answer 9

FATTY ACID. STORE ENERGY, FORMS MEMBRANES, STEROIDS. HYDROPHOBIC, NONPOLAR, NOT POLYMERS.

Question 10

Characteristics of carbohydrates

Answer 10

SUGAR. STORE ENERGY AND STRUCTURAL MATERIAL. EXAMPLES: MONOSACCHARIDES – GLUCOSE; DISACCHARIDES – LACTOSE; POLYSACCHARIDES – GLYCOGEN WHICH IS STORED IN LIVER TYPICALLY.

Question 11

Nucleic acids:

Answer 11

NUCLEOTIDES. STORE GENETIC INFO. DECIDES WHAT PROTEINS ARE MADE BY CELLS. THE MONOMERS COMPRISE RNA & DNA.

Question 12

PROTEINS:

Answer 12

AMINO ACIDS. ENZYMES, STRUCTURAL MATERIAL, PEPTIDES. FUNCTIONS: ENZYMATIC, DEFENSE, TRANSPORTATION, SUPPORT, MOVEMENT, REGULATION, AND STORAGE. THEY ARE POLYMERS
