UKY Bio 152 Exam 1 – Danley UPDATED
ACTUAL Exam Questions and CORRECT
Answers
cell label - CORRECT ANSWER -
Biological Molecule - CORRECT ANSWER - a molecule made by a living organism that
contains carbon as its backbone, usually 2 or more carbons
(proteins, carbohydrates, nucleic acids, lipids)
Monomer - CORRECT ANSWER - molecule made of a single building block, very simple
Polymer - CORRECT ANSWER - a larger molecule that is made of of 2 or more
monomers
Hydrophilic - CORRECT ANSWER - types of molecules that are water loving and
dissolve in water easily
Hydrophobic - CORRECT ANSWER - types of molecules that do not dissolve in water
well
Function - CORRECT ANSWER - the job or what that molecule does
Saturated - CORRECT ANSWER - each carbon along the backbone has the max number
of hydrogens hanging off
Unsaturated - CORRECT ANSWER - one or more carbons along the backbone have let go
of hydrogens and formed one or more double bonds with neighbor carbon which results in it
having less than the maximum number of hydrogens
, Hydrocarbon - CORRECT ANSWER - a long backbone of carbons with nothing but
hydrogens hang off... no overall charge and hydrophobic
Carbohydrates - CORRECT ANSWER - - repeating units of C-H20
- provide structural support and identification
- hydrophilic
Lipids - CORRECT ANSWER - - long chains of C-H2 (hydrocarbons)
- hydrophobic
- signals molecules
Fatty Acid Tails - CORRECT ANSWER - - sub class of lipids
- can be saturated or unsaturated
Proteins - CORRECT ANSWER - - made from long chains of amino acids (monomers)
that have undergone guided folding and assembly processing
- typically hydrophilic
receptors, structure, transport
Nucleic Acids - CORRECT ANSWER - - made from nucleotide monomers
- each nucleotide is made from 3 sub units (nitrogen base, carbon sugar, phosphate group)
- phosphate group gives these molecules a negative charge
- hydrophilic
- DNA & ATP
- energy carrier and stores information for the cell
