UNIT 3 Biochem Test Study Guide
To study:
● Essential Questions & Objectives from Unit sheet
● Previous tests from Units 1 & 2 (something about OGERMS, the 6 Kingdoms, Biomes)
● Vocab. words
● Molecule Project: Shape of molecules (sugar is a ring, etc)
● The Lab we did: Know what each tests for and why it is used: Benedict’s, Biuret,
Iodine
● Organic Molecules Chart (reviewed today)
●Chapter 6 in the book, especially page 167 (take a book home if needed) & 924-928
●all your notes from Unit 3
Concepts Listed Below:
What does organic mean?
Indicators used in the lab (Identifying Organic Compound) and what each identifies
How to make models of molecules, how to draw them and how to write chemical
formulas.
The structure (shape) and function of the 4 organic molecules:
Lipids
Carbohydrates
DNA/ RNA
Protein
How much energy is in each type of molecule? Which is used for short term or long term
energy (or in between)?
What are polymers? Be able to give several examples.
Explain how enzymes work
Know the most important elements in life, how many bonds each makes, and something
else about each.
