Biochemistry Test 1 With Complete SolutionsLatest Update
biochemistry - correct answers a discipline in biochemistry; is the description of
molecules in biology/chemistry of proteins
molecular biology - correct answers a discipline in biochemistry; the manipulation
of DNA, genetics
cell biology - correct answers a discipline in biochemistry; larger scale, functions
and mechanisms within a cell/cell energetics
cellulose - correct answers a natural polymer; found in plants for storage
glycogen - correct answers a natural polymer; found in animals for storage
protein - correct answers a natural polymer; tightly linked bonds
nucleotide - correct answers a natural polymer; covalent bonds
C,H,N,O,S - correct answers chemical elements commonly found in biochemistry
,carbon - correct answers an element commonly found in biochemistry, creates
strong single or double bonds with very little rotation
covalent - correct answers a chemical bond in biology; a pair of shared electrons,
very strong, bonds between polymers, >1 bond per atom, flexible and alternate re-
arrangement
non-covalent - correct answers a chemical bond in biology; weaker bonds, but
additive, creates specificity, highly dynamic/transient bonds, required for
molecular recognition
electrostatic, hydrogen, van der waals, hydrophobic - correct answers 4 types of
non-covalent interactions
electrostatic - correct answers a non-covalent interaction; such as ionic bonds Na⁺
+ Cl⁻ -> NaCl
hydrogen - correct answers a non-covalent interaction; a H is shared between two
electronegative atoms such as F,O, or N; the more electronegative atom pulls the
electron closer, creating a dipole
donor acceptor - correct answers the H bond _____ becomes more tightly linked,
the H bond_____becomes less tightly linked (two answers separated by a space
please)
, Van Der Waals - correct answers a non-covalent interaction; the interaction
between molecules with temporary dipoles from fluctuating electrons, are weak
but additive
hydrophobic interaction - correct answers a non-covalent interaction; the
clustering of these molecules in polar substances i.e. water interacts with itself and
causes other non-polar residues to cluster
biological solvent - correct answers roles of water; many organic and biological
materials are able to dissolve in water
part of reaction - correct answers roles of water; water is a common substance in
biochemical reactions such as the cleavage of bonds
regulation - correct answers roles of water; water is essential in regulating
temperature and pH (the ideal temperature of water with the highest heat
capacity is 37°C)
water - correct answers a substance found in nearly all biological reactions and
organisms; has a bond angle between H's of 104.5°, has a dipole, H-bonds with
itself, cohesive and dissolves polar or charged compounds
hydrophilic - correct answers water as a solvent; types of bonding in water "loving"
compounds are dipole-dipole, H-bonding, and dipole-ion
