Structural Isomer
different covalent arrangements
Cis-trans isomer
same covalent bonds but differ in arrangements
enantiomer isomer
mirrored images of each other
All cells…
- are enclosed by a membrane
- contain DNA
eukaryotic cell
has membrane-enclosed organelles, including the nucleus
prokaryotic cell
is simpler, smaller, and does not contain a nuclei or other membrane-enclosed organelles
emergent properties
result from the arrangement and interaction of parts within a system
where are emergent properties found
on only one level
Biological systems
cell, tissue, organ, organ system, organism, population, community, ecosystem, biome, biosphere
population
a group of the same species in an area
biome
all the living organisms on the planet
cell division
the basis of all reproduction, growth, and repair of multicellular organisms
mitosis
single cell organisms
meiosis
multicellular organisms
what is taxonomy
the branch of biology that names and classifies species
energy
the capacity to cause change
cohesion
attraction between the same substance
adhesion
attraction between different substances
how does water moderate temperature
Water absorbs heat from warmer air and releases stored heat to cooler air
what does temperature measure
the intensity of heat due to the average kinetic energy of molecules
how does water resist changing its temperature
Using hydrogen bonding
acidic substances have
an increased concentration of H+ (hydrogen ions)
basic substances have
a decreased concentration of H+ (hydrogen ions)
four classes of macromolecules
carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids
dehydration reaction
when two monomers bond together through the loss of water molecules
hydrolysis
when two monomers break apart through the addition of water molecules
aldehyde (aldose)
carbonyl group is located at the end of the chain
ketone (ketose)
carbonyl group is located within the chain
