Study Notes
- After making an observation and asking a question, the next step in the scientific method is to make a hypothesis.
- Organic, biological macromolecules contain carbon and hydrogen.
- Carbon forms 4 covalent bonds.
- Animal cells store carbohydrates as glycogen.
- Prokaryotes have ribosomes but lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles; they have a plasma membrane.
- pH 3 is the most acidic.
- Neutrons are located in the nucleus with the protons.
- Water molecules form hydrogen bonds with each other.
- The monomer of a carbohydrate is a monosaccharide.
- The monomer of a protein is amino acid.
- The monomer of a nucleic acid is nucleotide.
- Isotopes have different numbers of neutrons, not electrons.
- An RNA nucleotide is composed of a phosphate group, a nitrogenous base, and ribose.
- Ribosomes are responsible for translating proteins.
- Lipids include waxes, steroids, the main component of the plasma membrane, and triglycerides.
- The majority of the human body is made up of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen (CHON).
- To be considered living, an organism must respond to stimuli, reproduce, adapt to the environment, and maintain homeostasis.
- Being unicellular is NOT a requirement.
- Cells must NOT remain the same size.
- An amino acid does not contain a nitrogenous base as a functional group.
- During the synthesis of polymers from monomers in biological macromolecules, water is produced through a condensation reaction (dehydration reaction).
- Lipids can be used for long-term energy storage.
- Bacteria and archaea are prokaryotes; fungi, plants, animals, and protists are not.
- Quaternary protein structure involves multiple protein molecules forming a complex.
- A saturated fat does NOT have a double bond, so there is no kink.
- If a sample turns brick red after a Benedict’s test, stayed light after an Iodine test, and stayed blue after a Biuret’s test, then the sample contains a monosaccharide but does not contain a starch or protein.
- Mitochondria are NOT found in all organisms.
- All organisms possess ribosomes, a plasma membrane, and DNA.
- To calculate the molar mass of a molecule, multiply the number of each atom by its atomic mass and then add each of those numbers together.
- Moving from 4x to 40x on a light microscope causes the field of view to decrease.
- Polarity across a molecule is caused by a difference in electronegativity between atoms.
- If testing how fireworks affect night time dog barking by collecting the number of barks from all neighbors' dogs on the 4th of July and averaging it out, the control would be the number of times dogs bark on a normal, non-firework night.
- Phosphorus has 15 protons, 15 electrons, 16 neutrons, and 5 valence electrons.
- The independent variable of the example graph is the location.
- The dependent variable of the example graph is the number of bird species.
- An appropriate title for the provided example graph would be "How the number of bird species varies by location" or "How the number of bird species is affected by location."
- Cell theory states that every cell comes from another cell and all living things are made of one or more cells.
- The molar mass of ribose (C5H10O5) is 150 g/mol.
- To make 0.1L of a .04M ribose solution requires 0.6g of ribose.
