Community |
All the species in an ecosystem that can interact |
|
Ecosystem |
community and its physical environment |
|
Factors of evolution |
Over production Struggle for Existence Individuals within species have variation |
|
Living creatures |
Able to make biomolecules composed of cells grow and reproduce use energy and raw material metabolism(take in materials, use them for work) Respond to environmental factors homeostasis evolve, have adaptive traits |

|
Compound |
two or more elements joined by chemical bond |
|
Base |
Hydroxide |
|
Acid |
hydrogen |
|
buffer |
prevents ph from changing dramatically |
|
dissolving |
Solute: being dissolved Solvent: does dissolving Solution: Solute + Solvent |
|
Hydroxyl group (FG) |
oxygen and hydrogen, makes things more basic |
|
Carbonal group (FG) |
aldehydes: oxygen at END Ketones: oxygen in MIDDLE (Benedict's reagent) |
|
Carboxyl (FG) |
combination of hydroxyl, and carbonyl. Found in amino acids |
|
Amino group (FG) |
nitrogen, 2 hydrogen attached |
|
Sulfurhydryl (FG) |
sulfur attached to hydrogen |
|
Phosphate group (FG) |
appears in plasma membrane |
|
Methyl (FG) |
carbon, 3 hydrogen |
|
Carbohydrates |
Energy and structure (starch tested for by IKI) |
|
Lipids |
hydrophobic, 7 types |
|
Fats (lipid) |
fatty acid tail on glycerol. If single bonded to glycerol, it is saturated fat. if double bonded, it is unsaturated fat |
|
Phospholipids (lipid) |
Has variable group, in plasma membranes, hydrophilic head, hydrophobic tail |
|
Steroids (lipids) |
4 fused rings, makes up human hormones |
|
Waxes (lipids) |
firm, repel water, fatty acids in large chain |
|
Proteins |
enzymes, structure, storage (amino acids), transport,receptors, contractile, defensive |
|
Peptide bond |
One amino acid to another |
|
BACKBONE OF AMIINO ACID |
AMIINO GROUP CARBON CARBOXYL GROUP (also hydrogen and R group) |
|
Backbone of nucleic acids |
Phosphate sugar |
|
Side chain of nucleic acids |
Bases |
|
Organization of proteins |
1)Primary: order of amino acids 2)Secondary: hydrogen bonds between backbones of polypeptide bonds 3)Tertiary: Bonds between side chains 4)Quaternary: Bonds between polypeptide chain |
|
Monomer of Nucleic acid |
nucleotide |
|
Functions of DNA |
Inheritance, Determine what proteins are built |
|
Messenger RNA |
makes proteins |
|
Ribosomal RNA |
makes up ribosome |
|
Transfer RNA |
brings amino acids to the ribosome |
|
How many Amino acids make up protein? |
20 |
|
Gene Expression |
1) RNA Synthesis (transcription) 2) RNA EDITING 3) Protein synthesis (translation) |
|
RNA Synthesis |
Initiation: promoter adds on, proteins add on, Elongation: Rna builds Termination: Rna polymerase stop building at sequence TTATTT |
|
Rna editing |
occurs in nucleus, extra nucleotides at end. |
|
Splicing |
Introns are cut out, exons remain. get spliced in splicosome |
|
Nucleotides are the monomers of nucleic acid |
Made of: Phosphate Pentose sugar Nitrogen containing base |
