Unit 2 Review Sheet – Biochemistry 1. What are protons, neutrons and electrons? Protons are positively charges, neutrons have no charge and electrons have a negative charge. Protons and neutrons are in the nucleus and the electrons are in a cloud around the nucleus 2. What are the three main bond types? Describe them Covalent bonds: strongest, shared electrons, common in carbon bonds Ionic bonds: weaker than covalent, attraction between positive and negative bonds, common in salts, acids and bases Hydrogen bonds: weakest, attraction between partial positive and partial negative, common in water and DNA 3. What is the pH scale? Draw it pH scale measures the acidity of a solution by measuring the concentration of H+ (hydrogen ions) on a scale of 0-14 4. Which end is acid? Which is base? What is neutral? Low numbers are acidic, high numbers are basic, 7 is neutral 5. What are the characteristics of water that make it important to life? Polar, high heat capacity, resists temperature change, ability to bond and attract other molecules (cohesion and adhesion), ice is less dense than liquid water, universal solvent, most abundant compound in living things 6. What does it mean that water is polar? There is a partial positive charge in one part of the molecules (the hydrogen atoms) and a partial negative charge in another part (the oxygen). This is because of unequal electron sharing. 7. Explain the bonding within and between water molecules. The bonds between hydrogen and oxygen atoms IN ONE water molecule are covalent bonds. The bonding between two separate water molecules is hydrogen bonding, because of the attraction between the partial positive and negative charges. 8. What is the difference in organic and inorganic molecules? Organic molecules contain carbon 9. What are the 4 organic molecules and the monomer (subunit) of each? 1. Carbohydrate Monomer: monosaccharide (single sugar) 2. Lipid Monomer: fatty acids and glycerol 3. Protein Monomer: amino acid (this is on tests and SOLs a lot) 4. Nucleic Acids Monomer: nucleotide 10. What is the purpose of each of the macromolecules? 1. Carbohydrate Quick energy 2. Lipid Long term energy storage 3. Protein Structure, action, ENZYMES 4. Nucleic Acids Information storage 11. What is the difference in a monosaccharide, disaccharide, and polysaccharide? Monosaccharide is a single sugar, disaccharide is made of two monosaccharides and a polysaccharide is made of many monosaccharides 12. What are some examples of each of the 4 macromolecules? 1. Carbohydrate Glucose, fructose (mono); sucrose (di); starch, glycogen (poly) 2. Lipid Fats, oils, waxes, steroids, cholesterol 3. Protein Hemoglobin (in blood), enzymes, structural in fingernails 4. Nucleic Acids DNA, RNA (NA= nucleic acid) 13. Define catalyst Something that speeds up a chemical reaction without being used up 14. What are 2 things that can change the rate of enzyme reaction? High temperature and extreme pH because they denature the enzyme (make it not work) 15. What is the difference in the active site and the substrate? The substrate is what the enzyme is acting on and the active site is the place of the enzyme that is shaped so the substrate can fit 16. What does the “lock and key” feature of enzymes indicate? The active site is shaped so it perfectly fits the substrate, just like a key is perfectly shaped for the lock it opens 17. What is the name of the reaction in which macromolecules are put together? Dehydration synthesis 18. What is the name of the reaction in which macromolecules are broken apart? Hydrolysis 19. Which reaction is represented by the formula: Sugar + sugar + sugar polysaccharide + water It is Dehydration synthesis because sugars are the reactants (on the left side) and a polysaccharide is the product (on the right side) and water is a product as well. This means that monomers are being put together and water is taken out.
