Questions Correct Answers Current
Update (Verified A+ Pass)
In a covalent bond, the bond can be either polar or... - Answers -✔✔ Nonpolar.

Polarity deals with the _______ of electrons. - Answers -✔✔ Sharing

Each atom can have a slight _______. These dictate how each atom will share
________. - Answers -✔✔ Charge
Electrson

Nonpolar bonds means there is __________ sharing of electrons. Polar bonds have
____________ sharing. - Answers -✔✔ Equal
Nonequal

Endocytosis - Answers -✔✔ What many single-celled eukaryotes use to ingest food
particles.
The plasma membrane surrounds/engulfs the food particle.
There are three types of endocytosis: phagocytosis, pinocytosis, and receptor mediated
endocytosis.

Phagocytosis - Answers -✔✔ Used when the material being taken in is "particulate",
like a bacterial cell or an organic fragment

Pinocytosis - Answers -✔✔ Used when the material being taken in is liquid

Receptor Mediated Endocytosis - Answers -✔✔ Used when the material being taken in
needs to be transported across the plasma membrane via receptors. The molecules will
bind to a specific site embedded in the plasma membrane. These receptor molecules
are in a concentrated location coated by the protein clathrin. When enough material
molecules accumulate, the pit deepens and seals up to be incorporated into the cell as
a vesicle.

Exocytosis - Answers -✔✔ Opposite of endocytosis.
The process results in the discharge of materials from membrane-bound packages that
migrate to the inner surface of the plasma membrane, fuse with the membrane and then
release the contents outside of the cell.

Protein Denaturation - Answers -✔✔ Changes the solubility of individual protein
molecules, entrapping solvent water into a semisolid gel structure

,What is Jell-O a good example of? - Answers -✔✔ The process of coagulation of
proteins into a 3D latticework that entraps water molecules to produce a semisolid gel

How are proteins synthesized? - Answers -✔✔ By polymerizing amino acids.
This occurs by repeatedly forming peptide bonds that link individual amino acids
together into a chain.

What three features influence the 3D shape of a water soluble protein? - Answers -✔✔
Primary structure
Secondary structure
Tertiary structure

Primary Structure - Answers -✔✔ The peptide bond between individual amino acids
that creates a long chain of connected amino acids
These include hydrophilic and hydrophobic projections (that are oriented perpendicular
to the chain)

Secondary Structure - Answers -✔✔ The helix that the protein chain curls into as a
result of hydrogen bonds and other weak forces

Tertiary Structure - Answers -✔✔ Created when the protein molecules fold back on
themselves outside of the helical segments
Putting the hydrophobic portions on the inside and the hydrophilic portions on the
outside

Denaturation - Answers -✔✔ When natural proteins are subjected to physical/chemical
treatment and their structures change
They become "un-native or "unnatural"

What does heating proteins do to them? - Answers -✔✔ Imparts energy to the
molecules
This added energy breaks the relatively weak forces that hold the protein together (in
tertiary and secondary structures)
As the heat continues, the protein molecule unfold more and more
The hydrophilic regions are now exposed to the outside of the molecule

Are peptide bonds hydrophilic or phobic? - Answers -✔✔ Hydrophilic

What happens when protein molecules are denatured and unwound? - Answers -✔✔
They attract water molecules
This traps the water molecules in close proximity to the protein strands

What happens when hydrophobic molecules are exposed? - Answers -✔✔ They
become unstable in aqueous environments
They will then associate with other hydrophobic molecules on other protein molecules

, What is the end result of heating proteins? - Answers -✔✔ Water molecules adhere to
the surface of hydrophilic regions and hydrophobic regions dissolve into each other to
provide the energy to retain the structure of the protein
It becomes a large insoluble mass with randomly organized structural framework

What is frying an egg an example of? - Answers -✔✔ Irreversibly denatured proteins
resulting in the formation of a solid gel
The gel entraps water molecules into a semi solid structure

How does the negative feedback go for thirst? - Answers -✔✔ -Situation: during a hot
day, water is lost through sweat and produces a condition of decreasing blood/fluid
volume
-Response: blood (fluid) volume decreases, can also be stated as increasing the
osmolarity (or concentration of solutes) of blood
-Detection: increasing osmolarity of the blood is detected by the osmoreceptors in the
hypothalamus
-Trend: the sense of thirst is enhance partially as a result of antidiuretic hormone
-Effect: drinking of fluids reverses the declining water volume

What are enzymes? - Answers -✔✔ Proteins that speed up chemical reactions in the
cell

What is the active site on an enzyme for? - Answers -✔✔ Meant to be a specific shape
to bind to substrate molecules

How does an enzyme work? - Answers -✔✔ By binding to one+ specific molecules or
substrates (this occurs at the active site)
This creates an enzyme-substrate complex

What happens when the enzyme and the substrates interact? - Answers -✔✔ The
chemicals bonds in the substrate are put under stress and begin to weaken
This stress aids the substrates in forming into a different molecule completely (a new
product is formed)
After this new molecule is created, it leaves the active site and the enzyme is free to do
it all again

Homeostasis - Answers -✔✔ The body has the ability to detect change, activate
mechanisms that oppose it, and maintain relatively stable internal conditions.
The internal state of the body is best described as a dynamic equilibrium in which there
is a certain set point and conditions fluctuate slightly around this point.

What direction does active transport move a solute? - Answers -✔✔ Up its
concentration gradient
(From low to high)
