Q

Absolute Temperature (Kelvin)

A

Celsius is negative at low temperatures.
Negative temperatures don’t exist in real particle motion.
Kelvin is the only temperature scale that starts at absolute 0, the point where particle motion theoretically stops.
0 K = no thermal energy
Standard Temperature is 0°C

25
Carbohydrates are made up with three elements with ratio of
Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen, with a ratio of 1: 2: 1. (CH_2O)
26
Types of Carbohydrates:
Monosaccharides Disaccharides Polysaccharides
27
The "Simple Sugar" consists of only 1 sugar unit. It is a monomer, which is the building block of all carbohydrates.
Monosaccharides
28
Types of monosaccharides
Glucose: The main source of energy for your cells. Fructose (C_6H_12O_6): Also known as the “Fruit sugar”, one of the natural sugars Galactose: Found primarily in dairy products.
29
two monosaccharides bond together, consisting of 2 sugar units.
Disaccharides
30
Types of Disaccharides:
Sucrose (Glucose + Fructose) Lactose (Glucose + Galactose) Maltose (Glucose + Glucose)
31
made up of long chains of sugar molecules (glucose) abd more than two sugar units
Polysaccharides
32
Types of Polysaccharides:
Starch Glycogen Cellulose
33
Monomer: a-glucose Function: Energy storage in plants Structure: Long chains of Glucose (amylose and amylopectin) Iodine Test: Used to determine the presence of ____ in a sample. Blue-black Color: After adding iodine, it indicates the presence of ____the sample (Positive) No Color CHANGE: ____ is absent in the sample (Negative)
Starch
34
Monomer: a-glucose Function: Energy storage in animals (mainly in the liver and muscles) Structure: Highly Branched Chains of Glucose.
Glycogen
35
Monomer: ß-glucose Function: Structural component of plant cell walls Structure: Straight chains forming strong fibers.
Cellulose
36
hydrophobic biomolecules that are insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. used for long term energy, and insulation, building cell membranes
Lipids
37
Types of Lipids
Fats & Oils (Triglycerides) Waxes Phospholipids Steroid Lipids are differentiated by their structure/composition.
38
Structure: 1 Glycerol (Backbone) + 3 Fatty acid chains
Fats & Oils
39
Subtypes of Fat & Oils and differentiate them
Saturated (Fats): Solid at room temperature, Straight fatty chains. Unsaturated (Oils): Liquid at room temperature, Bent fatty chains.
40
Long fatty acid chain + Ester + Alcohol Found in animals and plants to give them a protective layer, it is extremely water-resistant.
Waxes (Ester: The chemical bond that connects the fatty acid chain and the alcohol.)
41
This is the vital part of a cell membrane Structure: 2 Fatty acid chains + 1 modified phosphate group
Phospholipids
42
Subtype of Phospholipids
Hydrophobic: 2 fatty acid chains Hydrophilic (Water-loving): Phosphate
43
they are lipids because they are hydrophobic and insoluble in water. Its functions are cell membrane stability and hormonal signaling. Four fused rings
Steroids
44
Types of Steroids:
Cholesterol Sex Hormones Cortisol
45
These are the blueprints of life: chemical compounds found in cells that store and transmit genetic information that tells cells how to build proteins.
Nucleic Acid
46
Two main classes of Nucleic Acid:
DNA: Deoxyribonucleic RNA: Ribonucleic Acid
47
Monomer (Building Blocks): of nucleic acid
Nucleotides
48
Built from long chains or networks of smaller, repeating chemical units called monomers linked together
Polymer
49
Monomer (Building Blocks): of nucleic acid
Nucleotides
50
Dna
This stores genetic information for all living organisms. Sugar: Deoxyribose Structure: Double helix Nitrogenous Base: Thymine Nitrogenous Base: Nitrogenous bases are the nitrogen-rich molecules that act as the 'letters' of the genetic code Polymer Length: Longer Polymer than RNA (contains millions of nucleotides) Location: Nucleus Reactivity: Very stable, not that reactive, and keeps genetic information safe.
51
This transmits and translates the genetic code (DNA) into proteins using the process called protein synthesis. Sugar: Ribose Structure: Single-stranded Nitrogenous Base: Uracil Polymer Length: Shorter than DNA (contains a few thousand nucleotides) Location: Nucleus - Cytoplasm Reactivity: Not stable, highly reactive, and easily attacked by enzymes. Types of RNA: mRNA: The messenger tRNA: Transfer rRNA: Ribosomal
52
tRNA
Transfer
53
mRNA
The messenger
54
rRNA:
Ribosomal
55
Describes the one-way flow of genetic information within a biological system. It outlines how DNA is transcribed into mRNA, which is then translated into a functional protein.
The Central Dogma of molecular biology
56
Replication
DNA Doubles (2x)
57
transcription:
DNA converts into mRNA
58
Translation:
mRNA to Protein
59
large, complex molecules that serve as the essential building blocks of tissues, muscles, enzymes, etc in living organisms. They do most of the work in cells, which are required for structure, function, and regulatio
Proteins
60
Monomer of proteins
Amino Acids
61
A smaller version of a protein, it has 2-10 linked amino acids.
Peptide:
62
Contains 10-50 linked amino acids.
Polypeptide
63
Made of one or several polypeptides.
Proteins:
64
Types of proteins:
Messenger (Hormones): Chemical messenger Enzymatic (Enzymes): They aid or accelerate chemical processes. Structural (Collagen/Keratin): Structured Components. Defensive (Anti-Body): Aids the immune system. Storage & Transport (Hemoglobin): Stores/Carries vital nutrients.
