Q

invasive species

A

non-native species inserted in a new environment where it wrecks havoc in the ecosystem

23
Q

human interaction with the environment

A

pollution, global warming, acid rain, acidification of ocean, eutrophication of lakes, invasive species, pesticides, ozone layer damage (fixed)

24
Q

carbohydrates

A

simple, quick energy source, pasta bread

25
Q

monosaccharides

A

sweet taste (candy), single ring, quick energy

26
Q

how do monosaccharides become disaccharides

A

condensation

27
Q

polysaccharide

A

mainly used for storage (starch, glycogen, chitin, cellulose)

28
Q

lipids

A

non polar long term energy source

29
Q

in substances like water lipids

A

are generally insoluble, reason they clog arteries

30
Q

fats consist of

A

1,2, or 3 fatty acid tails attached to a glycerol backbone

31
Q

saturated fats

A

bad, only single bonds

32
Q

unsaturated

A

better, at least one multiple bond

33
Q

trans fats

A

awful, forms plaque, contain double bond with H on opposite side, packs together easily

34
Q

omega 3 and omega-6

A

fatty acids that are essential because body can not synthesize them

35
Q

phospholipids

A

lipid with a glycerol backbone and two fatty acid tails

36
Q

hydrophobic interior

A

“fence” separates the outside and inside

37
Q

sterols

A

lipids with no fatty acid tails

38
Q

waxes

A

lipids with long - chain fatty acids tightly packed tightly

39
Q

structure of amino acid

A

central carbon, hydrogen, amino group, carboxyl group, R-group

40
Q

the function of a protien depends on

A

protien’s 3d shape

41
Q

4 levels of protien structure

A

primary, secondary, tertiary, quarternary

42
Q

primary

A

created by peptide bonds

43
Q

secondary

A

hydrogen bonds, cause twist

44
Q

tertiary

A

r-groups interact, protien is functional

45
Q

quaternary

A

two or more polypeptide chains interacting, isn’t always needed

46
Q

denaturation

A

when proteins loses 3D structure due to environmental change, losing its function

47
Q

nucliec acid

A

not a significant source of energy

48
Q

nucleotide is made of

A

base, phosphate group, 5 carbon sugar

49
Q

cohesion

A

H20 sticking together

50
Q

water has the highest surface tension b/c

A

the cohesion of water molecules have between one another

51
Q

electronegativity

A

a measurement of how much an atom wants to gain an electron

52
Q

ironic bonds

A

bonding of two oppositely charged irons formed after the transfer of electrons b/c electronegative’s elements are very different (metal & non metal)

53
Q

Polar covalant bonds

A

electrons that are not shared evenly, occurs w/ two nonmetals

54
Q

non popar covalent bonds

A

electrons are evenly shared throughout the lolecule (two nonmetals)
