polar
unequal sharing of electrons
covalent
strongest bond - pair of electrons shared between two atoms
hydrogen bond
weakest bond, partial charges
nonpolar
electrons evenly distributed
amount of electron slots in first 3 orbitals
2, 6, 10
saturated fats
solid at room temp, holding all H’s
unsaturated fats

what carbohydrate is found in the cell wall of plants?
cellulose
what carbohydrate is used to store energy in the liver?
glycogen
which feature is unique to bacterial cells compared to eukaryotic cells?
nucleoid region
what cellular structure synthesizes proteins based on the information in an mRNA molecule
ribosome
first step of sequencing DNA into a protein
mRNA is copied from a gene
carrier proteins
facilitate passage of molecules through the membrane
enzymatic proteins
catalyze a specific reaction
cell recognition proteins
recognize pathogens
active transport
requires input of ATP, movement of a substance against its concentration
channel protein assisting the passage of water across the cell membrane
aquaporin
in a phospholipid bilayer, the phosphate heads are oriented…
toward the exterior of the cell / toward the cytoplasm
process where cholesterol is transported into cell by binding of LDL to its receptor and the internalization of the receptor-LDL complex
receptor-mediated endocytosis
first law of thermodynamics
energy is not created nor destroyed, but it can change from one energy form to another
second law of thermodynamics
some useful energy is lost as heat whenever an energy transfer occurs
endergonic reactions
need input of energy + store it
ATP subunits
ADP and phosphate
photosynthesis end products
oxygen and carbohydrate
photorespiration occurs mainly in
C3 plants
stroma
the fluid-filled space of the chloroplast
calvin cycle carbon dioxide fixation is facilitated by which enzyme?
RuBP carboxylase
function of sunlight in photosynthesis
excite electrons in chlorophyll
ultimate destination for energized electrons during the light reactions of photosynthesis
taken up by NADP+ to produce NADPH
glycolysis location
cytosol
