Water Properties Life Intro Bio- Chemistry Macro- Molecules Carbon/ Organic $100 $200 $300 $400 $500 $600 $700 $800 $900
2
Water $100 What term describes the clinging of one substance to another? ADHESION Continue
3
Water $200 In a cup of coffee the water is the ___ and the coffee is the ___ Solvent / Solute Continue
4
Water $300 What is the difference between hydrophilic and hydrophobic? Hydrophilic is “water loving” – has “an affinity for water; Hydrophobic = “water hating” = repels water. Continue
5
Water $400 If molecules do not dissolve in solution and are considered to be suspended – the solution is a/an ___. Colloid Continue
6
Water $500 Most mammals control their body temperature by sweating. Which property of water is most directly responsible for the ability of sweat to lover body temperature.? The absorption of heat by breaking of hydrogen bonds. Continue
7
Water $600 Acid precipitation has lowered the pH of a lake to 4.0; What is the hydrogen ion concentration of the lake? ___ The hydroxide ion concentration? ___ 10 -4 M = hydrogen ion / 10 -10 M = hydroxide ion concentration Continue
8
Water $700 Which of the following is hydrophobic? –Paper; Table Salt; Wax; Sugar; Pasta WAX Continue
9
Water $800 The bonds that are broken when water vaporizes are …? –Ionic bonds –Bonds between water molecules –Polar covalent bonds –Nonpolar covalent bonds Bonds between water molecules Continue
10
Water $900 Describe the properties of water (density); organization, heat capacity. Ice is less dense than liquid water because its more organized hydrogen bonding causes expansion into crystal formation. The lower density causes ice to float, and allows life to exist under the frozen surfaces of lakes and polar seas. Continue
11
Life $100 All the organisms on the Kenston “Campus” make up a/an ___. –Ecosystem –Community –Population –Experimental Group A Community Continue
12
Life $200 The “library” of genetic instructions that an organism inherits is called its … GENOME Continue
13
Life $300 What is the term that describes that each step “upwards” in the hierarchy of biological order – new properties emerge that weren’t present at the level just below. EMERGENT PROPERTIES Continue
14
Life $400 Reducing complex systems into simpler components that are easier to study is – and figure out the “inner workings” – is called … REDUCTIONISM Continue
15
Life $500 The most common form of “Feedback Regulation” is ___; where the output or product shuts down the reaction or at least slows it down. What is this called --- and EXAMPLE. Negative Feedback / ATP- excess ATP inhibits enzyme near beginning of pathway; Trp Operon. Continue
16
Life $600 When doing an experiment the ___ variable is what you COUNT or MEASURE / the ___ variable that the experimenter changes is called the ___ variable. Count = Dependent Variable Change = Independent Variable Continue
17
Life $700 These two snakes look alike – although the coral snake is the only one that is poisonous. What general term describes the “look alike” protection gained by the king snake? MIMICRY Continue
18
Life $800 In November 1859 ___ published one of the most important & controversial books ever written; entitled On the Origin of Species by Natural Selection Charles Robert Darwin Continue
19
Life $900 What is the difference between inductive & deductive reasoning ? Inductive reasoning takes analysis from specific cases; deductive reasoning predicts specific outcomes from general knowledge. Continue
20
Biochemistry $100 What are the four main classes of large biological molecules? Carbohydrates, Proteins, Lipids, Nucleic Acids Continue
21
Biochemistry $200 How many molecules of water are needed to completely hydrolyze a polymer that is 10 monomers long? 9 = with one water required to hydrolyze each connected pair of monomers Continue
22
Biochemistry $300 Write the formula for a monosaccharide that has three carbons. C 3 H 6 O 3 or C 3 (H 2 O) 3 Continue
23
Biochemistry $400 A dehydration reaction joins two glucose molecules to form maltose. The formula for glucose is C 6 H 12 O 6. What is the formula for maltose? C 12 H 22 O 11 Continue
24
Biochemistry $500 What type of organic compound is to the left? Lipid = Glycerol & 3 Fatty acids Continue
25
Biochemistry $600 How do saturated fats differ from unsaturated fats, both in structure and in behavior? Saturated fats have no double bonds; whereas an unsaturated fat has at least one double bond. Saturated fats are usually solid at room temperature, while unsaturated fats are liquid. Continue
26
Biochemistry $700 Continue Label the four diagrams: as to Primary; Secondary; Tertiary and Quaternary Structure. Primary Secondary Tertiary Quaternary
27
Biochemistry $800 Why does a denatured protein no longer function normally? The function of each protein is determined by its specific shape, which is lost when a protein becomes denatured. Continue
28
Biochemistry $900 Which of the following is not a protein? –Hemoglobin, Insulin, Cholesterol, Antibody, Enzyme CHOLESTEROL Continue
29
Macromolecules $100 What four chemical elements are most abundant in the food you ate yesterday? Carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen Continue
30

What is the atomic number and mass number of this radioactive nitrogen? Write as a chemical symbol with a subscript and superscript. Atomic number = 7 mass number = 15 15 7 N Continue
31
Macromolecules $300 Explain what holds together the atoms in a crystal of magnesium chloride (MgCl 2 ). The attractions between oppositely charged ions form ionic bonds. Continue
32

37
Macromolecules $900 Describe the structure of a phospholipid: which end is hydrophilic (polar)?; which end is hydrophobic (non-polar)? A phospholipid has a hydrophilic head (phosphate group) and hydrophobic tails (fatty acids); the kink in the tail is due to a “cis” double bond. Continue
