  • What is biology?

    Biology is the study of living organisms and their interactions with the environment.

  • What is an enzyme?

    An enzyme is a protein that acts as a biological catalyst to speed up chemical reactions.

  • Difference between maltose and maltase

    Maltose is a sugar (disaccharide), while maltase is the enzyme that breaks down maltose.

  • Difference between sucrose and sucrase

    Sucrose is a sugar (disaccharide), and sucrase is the enzyme that breaks down sucrose.

  • Difference between lactose and lactase

    Lactose is a sugar found in milk, and lactase is the enzyme that breaks down lactose.

  • Monomers of carbohydrates

    Monomers of carbohydrates are monosaccharides, such as glucose.

  • Monomers of proteins

    Monomers of proteins are amino acids.

  • Monomers of lipids

    Monomers of lipids include glycerol and fatty acids.

  • Monomers of nucleic acids

    Monomers of nucleic acids are nucleotides.

  • What is a molecule of glycerol bonded with three fatty acids called?

    A molecule of glycerol bonded with three fatty acids is called a triglyceride.

  • Prokaryotic cells belong to which domain?

    Prokaryotic cells belong to the domains Bacteria and Archaea.

  • Type of chemical bond holding hydrogen and oxygen in water

    The bond holding hydrogen and oxygen in a water molecule is a polar covalent bond.

  • Four most common elements in living things

    The four most common elements are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen.

  • What type of energy is energy of motion?

    Kinetic energy is the energy of motion.

  • Maximum number of covalent bonds a carbon atom can form

    A single carbon atom can form a maximum of 4 covalent bonds.

  • Region of an enzyme where substrate binds

    The region of an enzyme where a substrate binds is called the active site.

  • Kingdom of Eukarya consisting primarily of unicellular organisms

    The kingdom Protista consists primarily of unicellular eukaryotic organisms.

  • Type of bond linking adjacent water molecules

    Hydrogen bonds link adjacent water molecules.

  • Five kingdoms of life

    The five kingdoms are Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia.

  • Kingdom of multicellular organisms that digest dead organisms

    Organisms that digest dead organisms are typically in the kingdom Fungi.

  • How members of kingdom Plantae differ from other Eukarya kingdoms

    Most members of kingdom Plantae perform photosynthesis.

  • Definition of fatty acid with double bonds

    A fatty acid with one or more double bonds is called an unsaturated fatty acid.

  • Substances that block an enzyme's active site

    Substances that block an enzyme's active site are called enzyme inhibitors.

  • Reactants in the chemical reaction: C6H12O6 + 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O

    The reactants are glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen (O2).

  • Requirement for natural selection to occur

    Natural selection requires variation, heritability, and differential survival or reproduction.

  • Health effect of a diet high in saturated fats

    A diet high in saturated fats can increase the risk of heart disease.

  • What are steroids?

    Steroids are lipids characterized by a carbon skeleton of four fused rings.

  • Tendency of molecules of the same kind to stick together

    The tendency of molecules of the same kind to stick together is called cohesion.

  • Why can a needle float on water surface if careful?

    A needle can float due to surface tension caused by water molecule cohesion.

  • How does sweating cool the body?

    Sweating cools the body by evaporation, which removes heat.

  • What type of molecule are enzymes?

    Enzymes are proteins.

  • Proteins are polymers constructed from which monomers?

    Proteins are polymers made from amino acid monomers.

  • Principle that energy cannot be created or destroyed

    This is the law of conservation of energy.

  • Animals store carbohydrates as what?

    Animals store carbohydrates as glycogen.

  • Bond between oppositely charged ions

    A bond between oppositely charged ions is an ionic bond.

  • How do enzymes increase reaction rate?

    Enzymes increase reaction rate by lowering activation energy.

  • Name given to bonds involving sharing electrons

    Bonds involving sharing electrons are called covalent bonds.

  • An enzyme's function depends on what?

    An enzyme's function depends on its shape.

  • Number of electrons in nitrogen's outermost shell

    Nitrogen has 5 electrons in its outermost shell.

  • An atom with an electrical charge is called what?

    An atom with an electrical charge is an ion.

  • Example of a polysaccharide

    Starch is an example of a polysaccharide.

  • Structural combination of DNA and protein forms what?

    The combination of DNA and protein forms chromatin.

  • Removal of electrons from a compound is called what?

    The removal of electrons is called oxidation.

  • Humans are composed of what type of cells?

    Humans are composed of eukaryotic cells.

  • Isotopes of an element have the same number of what and different number of what?

    Isotopes have the same number of protons and different numbers of neutrons.

  • How do radioactive isotopes differ from isotopes?

    Radioactive isotopes have unstable nuclei that decay and emit radiation.

  • Compound that directly provides energy for cellular work

    ATP (adenosine triphosphate) directly provides energy for cellular work.

  • Maximum electrons in the second electron shell of an atom

    The second electron shell can hold a maximum of 8 electrons.
