Study Notes
Graph Types
- Bar graphs are used for categorical data to compare groups.
- Histograms display frequency distributions, showing how often each value in a dataset occurs.
- Line graphs track changes over time, comparing changes in a variable.
- Dual Y-axis graphs display mixed data types, like climatograms.
- Box and whisker plots show distribution shape, central value, and variability for explanatory data analysis.
- Pie charts represent percentages or proportional data.
Direct Proportionality
- Direct proportionality means as one variable increases, the other increases at the same rate.
Independent Variable
- The independent variable is the factor tested, manipulated, or changed by the researcher; it's the "cause."
Dependent Variable
- The dependent variable is the factor measured, the "effect" of the change or manipulation.
Structural Isomers
- Structural isomers have the same chemical formula but different atom arrangements and properties.
Water Properties
- Polarity: Water molecules have a separation of charge (poles), with a slightly negative oxygen and slightly positive hydrogen.
- Hydrogen Bonding: The slightly negative oxygen of one water molecule attracts the slightly positive hydrogen of another.
- Cohesion: Water molecules attract each other.
Surface Tension and Hydrogen Bonds
- Surface tension is a liquid's ability to resist external forces due to cohesion.
- Hydrogen bonds contribute to surface tension by enabling water's surface to contract to a minimum surface area.
Transpiration and Polarity/Hydrogen Bonds
- Water's polarity and hydrogen bonding allow adhesion (water to xylem) and cohesion (water to water).
- Transpiration pull facilitates water movement up the plant.
Protein Structure
- Primary Structure: Linear sequence of amino acids.
- Secondary Structure: Hydrogen bonding creates alpha helices or beta sheets.
- Tertiary Structure: 3D folding due to interactions between R-groups.
- Quaternary Structure: Multiple polypeptide chains forming a protein.
Cysteine and Disulfide Bridges
- Disulfide bridges formed by cysteine residues increase protein stability.
DNA vs. RNA
- DNA: Deoxyribose sugar, double-stranded, A, T, C, G. Stores genetic information.
- RNA: Ribose sugar, single-stranded, A, U, C, G. Involved in protein synthesis.
Dehydration Synthesis vs. Hydrolysis
- Dehydration synthesis: Joining monomers to form polymers by removing water.
- Hydrolysis: Breaking polymers into monomers by adding water.
Macromolecule Elements

- Lipids (CHO and sometimes P): Long-term energy, insulation, membranes.
- Proteins (CHON): Enzymes, many functions.
- Nucleic Acids (CHONP): Store genetic information, help make proteins.
Macromolecule Reuse/Recycling
- Organisms break down macromolecules to reuse the elements for building new macromolecules.
Macromolecule Classes
- Carbohydrates: Monomers (monosaccharides), functions (energy, structure, identification). Examples: glucose, starch, glycogen, cellulose, chitin.
- Lipids: No true monomer or glycerol and fatty acids, functions (energy, insulation, membranes). Examples: phospholipids, oils, waxes, fats.
- Proteins: Amino acids, many functions (enzymes). Examples: catalase, keratin, hemoglobin.
- Nucleic Acids: Nucleotides, store genetic information. Examples: DNA, RNA.
Saturated vs. Unsaturated Fatty Acids
- Saturated: All single bonds, straight chains, solid at room temperature.
- Unsaturated: At least one double bond, branched chains, liquid at room temperature.
Highly Electronegative Atoms
- Nitrogen (N), Oxygen (O), Fluorine (F).
Electronegativity and Hydrogen Bonding
- Electronegative atoms (like oxygen or nitrogen) do not share electrons equally, creating partial charges that enable hydrogen bonding.
Hydrophobic and Hydrophilic Interactions
- Hydrophobic (nonpolar) regions of proteins face inward in an aqueous environment.
- Hydrophilic (polar) regions face outward.
Endosymbiotic Theory
- Mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own DNA, double membranes, and are similar in size/shape to prokaryotes.
- They can reproduce independently.
Prokaryotic vs. Eukaryotic Cells
- Eukaryotic: Nucleus, membrane-bound organelles.
- Prokaryotic: No nucleus, no membrane-bound organelles (bacterial cells).
Surface Area to Volume Ratio
- Smaller cells have a larger surface area to volume ratio, enabling efficient nutrient uptake and waste removal.
- As cells increase in size, the ratio decreases.
Passive vs. Active Transport
- Passive: High to low concentration, no ATP.
- Active: Low to high concentration, requires ATP.
Passive Transport Types
- Diffusion: Movement of substances from high to low concentration.
- Osmosis: Diffusion of water.
- Facilitated diffusion: Movement through a protein channel or carrier.
Water Movement Through Membranes
- Water can pass through membranes freely, but aquaporin proteins facilitate faster passage.
Active Transport Types
- Sodium-Potassium Pump: 3 Na+ out, 2 K+ in.
- Exocytosis: Vesicle release contents outside the cell.
- Endocytosis: Cell membrane engulfs substances and brings them into the cell.
Molecules Easily Passing Through Membranes
- Small, nonpolar (lipid-soluble), uncharged molecules.
Molecules Needing Transport Proteins
- Large, polar, and charged molecules require proteins to cross the membrane due to their interactions with the membrane's polar heads.
Factors Affecting Transpiration
- Stomata closure, atmospheric water potential, soil water potential, temperature, light, wind, humidity.
Isotonic, Hypertonic, Hypotonic Solutions
- Hypertonic: Higher solute concentration outside the cell, water moves out.
- Isotonic: Equal solute and water concentrations.
- Hypotonic: Lower solute concentration outside the cell, water moves in.
Osmosis and Water Potential Lab
- The isotonic concentration was found where percent change in mass crossed zero.
Phospholipid Bilayer Structure
- Phospholipids form a bilayer with hydrophilic heads facing the water and hydrophobic tails facing inward.
- Cholesterol, proteins, glycolipids, glycoproteins contribute to membrane fluidity.
Factors Affecting Enzyme Function (Refer to provided graphs for specific details)
- Temperature, pH, substrate concentration, inhibitors.
Enzyme Specificity
- Enzyme active sites are specific to substrates (lock-and-key).
- Specific amino acid charges/properties create optimal substrate binding.
Enzymes as Biological Catalysts
- Enzymes speed up reactions by lowering activation energy.
- Optimal environment is provided for reactions to occur.
Competitive vs. Allosteric Inhibition
- Competitive: Inhibitor competes with substrate for active site.
- Allosteric: Inhibitor binds to a different site, changing the active site shape.
Increasing Substrate Concentration
- More substrate increases the likelihood of enzyme activity competing with competitive inhibitors.
Energy Transfer and Heat
- Energy transfer is not 100% efficient; some energy is lost as heat.
Hydrolysis of ATP
- ATP hydrolysis releases energy for cellular work by phosphorylating other molecules.
Photosynthesis
- Photosynthesis equation (refer to provided image).
- Two stages: light-dependent, light-independent (Calvin cycle).
Aerobic Cellular Respiration
- Cellular respiration equation (refer to provided image)
- Four stages: glycolysis, link reaction, Krebs cycle, electron transport chain.
Light Reflection and Pigments
- The color we see is the wavelength reflected by the pigment molecule.
Pigment Adjustment in Photosynthetic Bacteria
- Bacteria can adjust pigments depending on the available light wavelengths for energy acquisition.
ATP Synthesis (Chemiosmosis)
- Chemiosmosis in both chloroplasts and mitochondria uses electron transport chains to produce a proton gradient.
- The gradient powers ATP synthase.
- Chloroplasts use chlorophyll, NADP+ as acceptor. Cellular respiration uses NADH, FADH2, oxygen as acceptor.
Electron Acceptors/Carriers
- Glycolysis: NAD+ to NADH.
- Krebs Cycle: NAD+ to NADH, FAD+ to FADH2.
Light-Dependent Reactions Products

- DNA replicates during S phase but chromosome number remains the same until anaphase (sister chromatids separate).
Cancer-Related Mutations
- Proto-oncogenes (when mutated become oncogenes, causing uncontrolled division).
- Tumor-suppressor genes (slow/inhibit division, repair errors).
