What are the 7 characteristics of a living thing

Cellular organization, Ordered Complexity, Sensitivity, Growth--development--reproduction, Energy utilization, Homeostasis, Evolutionary adaption.

Cellular Organization

ONE OF THE 7 - one or more cells that do tasks required to function as a living thing.

Ordered complexity

ONE OF THE 7 - complex structures made up of different kinds of cells.

Sensitivity

ONE OF THE 7 - responds to stimuli

ONE OF THE 7 - living creatures grow, change and reproduce. Genetic makeup is passed through reproduction.

Energy Utilization

ONE OF THE 7 - requires energy to function properly, which means it also requires an energy source.

Homeostasis

ONE OF THE 7 - The body is able to maintain consistent internal conditions regardless of external influence.

Evolutionary Adaption

ONE OF THE 7 - Organisms react and adapt to their environment in order to ensure survival--done through generations not a lifetime.

Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons

Compound

Matter that is made from a combination of two or more atoms.

What are the four types of bonds?

Covalent Bonds, Hydrogen Bonds, Ionic Bonds, and Hydrophobic Bonds

What is the strongest kind of bond?

Covalent

Which type of bond is formed when one atom takes an electron from another atom?

Ionic Bonds

Which type of bond is created by atoms sharing electrons?

Covalent

Hydrophobic Bond

The result of hydrophobic portions of molecules being forced together when they're in the presence of polar substances.

How many electrons are shared in a single covalent bond?

2 electrons

Non-Polar Covalent Bond

Bonds between two hydrogen or two oxygen atoms, the affinity for electrons is the same and the electrons are equally shared

Polar Covalent Bond

Bonds between molecules where there is an unequal distribution of electrons so the charge isn't uniform. That results in regions of partial negative charges near the more electronegative atom.

A buffer resists the change in pH.

What is our blood's natural pH

7.4

2

Monosaccharide

A simple sugar with a small amount of carbon atoms.

Polysaccharide

made up of monosaccharides that have linked together to form a more complex CARBOHYDRATE

How many Amino Acids Are there

20

Amino Acids build what?

What are Nucleic Acids made of and what do they make?

Made of: Nucleotides


Make: DNA

DNA consists of 4 nucleotides. What are they?

Adenine, Thymine, Guanine and Cytosine

How many R groups are possible in an Amino Acid.

20--because the differentiating factor of an amino acid is the R group, and there are 20 different amino acids

What are the four types of large BIOLOGICAL MOLECULES?
