Questions and Answers
What is the primary distinction between ionic and covalent bonds?
What is the primary distinction between ionic and covalent bonds?
- Ionic bonds result from electrostatic attraction, while covalent bonds involve the sharing of electron pairs. (correct)
- Ionic bonds are generally weak, while covalent bonds are always very strong.
- Ionic bonds involve sharing electrons, while covalent bonds involve transferring electrons.
- Ionic bonds are formed between two nonmetals, while covalent bonds are formed between a metal and a nonmetal.
Which of the following best describes hydrophilic molecules?
Which of the following best describes hydrophilic molecules?
- They are attracted to water and can dissolve in it. (correct)
- They can only exist in gaseous form.
- They are always charged particles.
- They repel water due to their nonpolar nature.

Study Notes
Unit 1 Practice Exam
- Exam 1 comprises 38 multiple-choice questions.
- Bring a pencil and photo ID (NU ID preferred).
- The entire class period is allocated for the exam.
Experiment Variables and Controls
- Experiments involve different variables.
- Controls are crucial parts of experiments.
- A negative control ensures that a treatment has no effect where one is anticipated.
- A positive control ensures that a treatment has the expected effect.
- A drug's ability to act as a ligand for the estrogen receptor is being tested.
Chemical Bonding
- Ionic bonds and covalent bonds differ in how they're formed.
- Polar bonds and non-polar bonds have various properties and differences in characteristics.
- Hydrogen bonds, crucial for molecular interactions.
- Hydrogen bonds occur between molecules and are formed by hydrogen atoms bonded to highly electronegative atoms (e.g. oxygen).
- Situations affecting hydrogen bonding formation and behavior.
- The factors responsible for the hydrophobic or hydrophilic nature of molecules.
Biological Molecules
- Phospholipids and their chemical properties and structural arrangements are important
- Membrane structure and components include phospholipids, and other molecules.
- Differences between cell membranes and cell walls.
- Similarities and differences between saturated and unsaturated fats.
- Starch, glycogen and cellulose structure and behavior.
- Proteins, polypeptides and their roles in complex functions.
Protein Structure and Function
- Protein structure levels (primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary).
- Defining features and involved bonds in each level of protein structure.
- Amino acid characteristics influencing final protein structure.
- Denaturing proteins and factors leading to denaturing.
- Reasons why proteins might malfunction despite correct amino acid sequences.
- Chaperones and their role in protein structure and functionality.
Membrane Transport
- Types of molecules crossing cell membranes without assistance (e.g. some small molecules).
- Types of molecules that require assistance to pass through the cell membrane.
- Types of membrane transport that require energy (e.g. active transport).
