bio mastering biology exam questions
and answers
hydrogen - Answer -Most organic compounds contain carbon and _______
C-C bonds are as strong as C-O bonds - Answer -why is life based on carbon
compounds
It can form a variety of carbon skeletons and host functional groups - Answer -Why is
carbon so important in biology
both - Answer -can carbon form polar or nonpolar bonds

amino acids?
methyl function group - Answer -consists of a carbon bonded to three hydrogen atoms
the presence or absence of functional groups (functional groups are the most common
participants in chemical reactions) - Answer -Variations in the reactive properties of
different organic molecules are most closely associated with ________
Enantiomers differ in biological activity - Answer -Which statement about isomers is
correct?
monosaccharide - Answer -A _________ cannot be hydrolyzed any further
disaccharide - Answer -Lactose, the sugar in milk, is a _________, because it can be
split into two monosaccharides
carbohydrate - Answer -A simple sugar is composed of equal parts of carbon and water,
which gave rise to the general name of any sugar as ____________
