AP STUDY GUIDES EXAM WITH PRACTICE QUESTIONS & VERIFIED
SOLUTIONS | 2026/2027 LATEST UPDATE | ALREADY GRADED A+
Organic Compounds - ANSWER are molecules that contain carbon.
Hydrolysis Reaction - ANSWER is a compound that dissolves in water and is the decomposition of
something in the presence of water.
Dehydration Reaction - ANSWER releases water.
Oxidation-Reduction Reactions - ANSWER involve the gain (oxidation) or loss (reduction) of electrons.
Anabolic Reactions - ANSWER create larger molecules from smaller ones.
Catabolic Reaction - ANSWER breaks down larger molecules.
Exergonic Reaction - ANSWER releases energy.
Endergonic Reaction - ANSWER requires energy.
What properties make water essential to life on earth? - ANSWER The water molecule's polar nature
leads to surface tension (enabling capillary action) and makes it an effective solvent. It expands
rather than contracting when it freezes.
Enzymes - ANSWER are proteins that facilitate reactions by binding to the substrate and reducing the
activation energy.
All living matter is made up of what? - ANSWER Nitrogen,carbon,hydrogen,oxygen,phosphorus, and
sulphur.
Carbon - ANSWER is the main element of life because of the variety of organic compounds it can
form.
