FINALS SEMESTER 1 Flashcards
measure of an ant
mm
volume of a rain drop
mL
the mass of a tiger
kg
the length of a lizard
cm or m
what is the independant variable
the variable whos change directly affects the dep variable
what is the dependant variable
the may that may change as a result of change in the independent variable
what is the control
what is controlled to measure the effect of a diffrent variable
what substances will dissolve in water
polar / hydrophyllic molecules
what is hydrophyllic
water loving and dissolves in water
what is hydrophobic
dosnt like water and dosent dissolve in water
why is water a polar molecule
because electrons are shared unequally between oxygen atoms and hydrogen atoms
which part of water is positive
the hydrogens
what part of water is negative
the oxygen
what is neutral on a pH scale
7
what is basic on a pH scale
higher than 7
what is acidic on a pH scale
lower than 7
what is a polymer
a big molecule made from small ones
what make up polymers
monomers
what do polymers make up
biomolecules
what are example of biomolecules
carbs, lipids, nucleic acids, proteins
what is the monomer for protein
amino acids
what is the monomer for lipid
fatty acid and glycerol
monomer for carbohydrates
monosaccarides
monomer for nucleic acids
nucleotides
main function of proteins
to be enzymes
main function of lipids
energy storage
main function of carbohydrate
quick energy
plant cell wall
what is the main function nucleic acids
transfer information
example of protein
skin, pepsin
example of lipid
phospholipids, oils
example o carbohydrate
starch
example of nucleic acids
dna and rna
elements of a protein
CHON
elements of lipid
CHO
elements of a carbohydrate
CHO
elements of a nucleic acid
CHONP
which group of biomolecules include glycogen , cellulose, starch and glucose
carbohydrates
what group of biomolecules include lipase, proteins and amylase
proteins
which biomolecules has a double oxygen bond
proteins do
which is the only biomolecule with phosphate
nucleic acids
what determines the function of a protein
their shape
what determines the shape of the protein
the sequence of amino acids
3 examples of polysaccharides
starch, glycogen, cellulose
do lipids or sugars contain more energy
lipid contain more energy because it has more bonds and more bonds mean more energy
what does catalase break down
hydrogen peroxide
what does hydrogen peroxide become once it s broken down
it becomes water and oxygen
how many types of substraits can each type of enzyme break down
one !!!!
what affects do enzymes have on chemical reactions
they enable them, speed them up, and lower the activation energy
what happens in synthesis
molecules are put together
joins monomers
uses atp
why hapens in digestion/hydrolysis
molecules are taken apart
you get raw materials
undos polymers
why are enzymes needed for synthesis and digestion
because they control these reactions
how does temperature increase affect enzyme activity
temp increase will increase reaction rate because molecules move faster, but after reaching optimal temperature, the rate will decrease with temperature increase and denature
how does temperature decrease affect enzyme activity
it decreases the reaction rate because the molecules move slower
what happens when an enzyme is denatured by temperature but the temperature goes back to normal
the enzyme stays denatured
how does pH increase affect enzyme activity
as you increase the pH the rate of reaction will increase but after passing the optimal pH the reaction rate will decrease and eventually denature
what happens if an enzyme is denatured by pH but the pH returns to normal
the enzyme will regain its shape and can continue to function
how does enzyme concentration affect the rate of reaction
it will increase the rate of reaction up to a certain point when any more increase won’t affect the rate of reaction
how does substrate concentration affect reaction rate
it will increase the rate of reaction up to a certain point when anymore increase wont affect the rate of reaction
could catalase break down starch
no cuz its not the right shape !!!!!
define denature
the protein loses it’s shape and cannot do its job
where does mechanical digestion occur
mouth and stomach
where does chemical digestion occur
the mouth, the small intestine, the stomach
what is the function of the gall bladder
storage of the bile enzyme
what is the function of the liver
to produce bile
whats the function of the small intestine
digest carbs , proteins, lipids. absorption of food through villi and microvilli
what is the function of the large intestine
re - absorb water, digest cellulose using bacteria
what is the of the epiglottis
closes the trachea and allows food the esophagus
what is the function of the stomach
food is disinfected, stored, where proteins are digested
