growth and development


adapt through evolution

How do plants get their energy to live?

from the sun (photosynthesis)

How do animals get their energy to live?

from the food they eat

The ability of an organism to keep its internal conditions about the same.

homeostasis

If your body gets too hot, your body will start ___ to help you cool down.




This is an example of homeostasis.

sweating

How do biological materials respond to acids and bases?

Not well. Body processes don't have a wide tolerance for pH differences. All biological matter have a limited range that the pH can be.

A molecule that donates or accepts protons to resist changes in pH as acids or bases are added to the solution.

buffer

What element makes all things "organic"?

proteins

Macromolecule that can be broken down to produce energy in cells (1st choice).




Some make up plant cell walls

carbohydrate

Macromolecule that is involved in different body functions including movement, eyesight, and digestion.




Helps enzymes, oxygen transport, muscle movement, etc.

proteins

What is the sub unit (monomer) of proteins?

amino acids

Molecules that contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and sometimes sulfur.

amino acids

Macromolecule that can be used for energy in the cell (2nd choice).




Makes up cell membrane




Used to make hormones

lipids

What is the sub unit (monomer) of lipids?

fatty acids

Chains of carbon atoms bonded to hydrogen atoms.

fatty acids

Macromolecule that codes for proteins.




Types: DNA, RNA, ATP

nucleic acids

Type of nucleic acid that stores genetic info.

DNA

Type of nucleic acid that builds proteins

RNA

Type of nucleic acid that is the energy molecule for cells

ATP

What is the sub unit (monomer) for nucleic acids?

nucleotides

Made up of sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogen-containing molecule called a base.

nucleotide

The connections between atoms in a compound.

chemical bond

What are the 2 major types of chemical bonds?

covalent bonds


ionic bond



Chemical bond formed by the sharing of a pair of electrons by two atoms.

covalent bond



Chemical bond between 2 ions formed through the transfer of one or more electrons.

ionic bond

Breaking a chemical bond requires...

energy

The amount of energy that it takes to break a bond between 2 atoms is called...

bond energy

____ is released when chemical bonds form.

energy

An electron of an atom, located in the outermost shell (valence shell) of the atom, that can be transferred to or shared with another atom.

valence electron

____ ____ can be involved in bonding by being shared by 2 atoms in order to complete a covalent bond.

valence electrons

Substances that speed up chemical reactions and decreases activation energy and increases reaction rate.

catalyst

Why is the shape of an enzyme important?

because it only allows certain molecules to bond to that enzyme

What are the specific molecules than an enzyme acts on called...

substrate

Enzymes and substrates work like a ___ and ___.

lock and key

What determines the shape of an enzyme?

sequence of amino acids

Why are enzymes specific?

Have a specific substrate they fit with. Have certain enzymes for specific chemical reactions.

How can enzymes be used over and over again?

Enzymes are not consumed in the reaction they catalyze. Because they remain unchanged they can be used over and over again.

How do extreme temperatures affect enzymes?

Temperature increases increases the rate of reaction. If temperature is too high denature will begin to occur to the enzyme.

How do extreme pH levels affect enzymes?

It can affect the shape of the enzyme and change properties of the substrate so the substrate can't bind to the enzyme or the active site can undergo catalysis.

Most enzymes end with what suffix (with the exception of a few)?

-ase

Enzyme that helps change sugar into starches.

amylase

Enzyme that is living in organisms and helps with digestion, transportation, etc.

lipase

Enzyme that breaks down sugar to form glucose in the saliva.

maltase

At what temperature is it best for the enzyme to work? Why?

37.5 degrees Celsius because it's the human body's natural temperature

What does the term "membrane bound organelles" mean?
