MCB 150 Exam 1 Questions With Complete Solutions
- delta G Correct Answers spontaneous, products have less free
energy than reactants
- exergonic
+ delta G Correct Answers products have more energy than
reactants
- non-spontaneous
- endergonic
alpha-glucose Correct Answers C1 H on top, OH on bottom
(at the C1 where a bond is formed)
amino acids Correct Answers monomers of proteins
- C (alpha carbon) is linked to an Amino group (left) and a
carboxyl group (right), also has a side chain
amphipathic Correct Answers having both a hydrophilic polar
region and a hydrophobic non polar region
- in phospholipids
Anabolic enzymes Correct Answers require energy; link smaller
molecules into larger ones, like dehydration reaction
Archaea Correct Answers prokaryote, found in extreme habitats
- VERY different rRNA structure than bacteria, more similar to
eukaryote than bacteria
beta-glucose Correct Answers C1 H on bottom, OH on top
, biomembranes Correct Answers amphipathic, asymmetrical,
contains proteins
C terminus Correct Answers the end of a polypeptide that has a
free carboxyl group
- right side
carbohydrate formula Correct Answers Cn(H2O)n
- remove a OH & H whenever a monosaccharide is added
carbohydrate function Correct Answers energy and structure
carbohydrate monomer Correct Answers monosaccharide
- ex) glucose
- pentoses, hexoses
- can be broken down to ATP
CARBOHYDRATES/POLYSACCHARIDES Correct Answers
catabolic enzymes Correct Answers releases energy: break
down larger molecules into smaller molecules, like hydrolysis
cell small size importance Correct Answers the smaller the size,
the greater the surface area to volume ratio
cell theory Correct Answers all living things are composed of
cells, cells are the fundamental unit of life and new cells are
produced from existing cells
