Describe elements of research design and how they impact conclusions (identify
strengths and weaknesses in research related to bias, sample size, randomization,
etc.) - ANSWER✔✔ - correlation, not causation
- large population size
- random sampling
TTQ:
Which, if any, of these statements support the idea that the MMR vaccine causes
autism? (You can choose more than one).
- Sweden and UK studies found the rate of autism in the population before and
after the introduction of MMR was similar.
- UK Study: Some children show behavioral signs of autism before they receive
the vaccine.
- Denmark: The risk of autism is similar in children vaccinated vs. those not
vaccinated (sample included 500,000 children).
Answer: none of these
Formulate a testable hypothesis and design a controlled experiment -
ANSWER✔✔ - starts with something observed
- question is asked
- hypothesis is formulated
- hypothesis: if....then....
- independent and dependent variables
- what are you measuring
- control group
,Distinguish science from unjustified claims. - ANSWER✔✔ science is testable
Classify polysaccharides based on their structure/function in plants and animals
and describe how monomers join to form them. - ANSWER✔✔ dehydration
reaction: two molecules coming together and water is formed
hydrolysis: water is added and compound is broken down
monosaccharide + monosaccharide = disaccharide
polysaccharides of glucose:
- cellulose: structure of plant cell walls
- starch: store energy in plants
- chitin: exoskeleton of some animals
- glycogen: store energy in animals
Define lipids and explain their functions and properties in polar or non-polar
solvents. - ANSWER✔✔ lipids: fats
ex. triglyceride is a type of fat which is made of one glycerol and 3 fatty acids
- saturated: single bonds (solid of room temp)
- unsaturated: double bond in carbon chain (leg is bent) (liquid at room temp)
trans fat: unsaturated but acts like saturated (veg. oil butter)
ex. phospholipid
head is hydrophilic and tail is hydrophobic (amphiphilic)
plasma membrane is a phospholipid bilayer
fatty acid tails don't mix with water, which is a polar solvent
only monomers can be absorbed into intestine and so bile salt (amphiphilic like
phospholipid) is used to break down polymers
, Draw protein structure and depict the consequence of mutations on normal
structure and function. - ANSWER✔✔ protein- made up of animo acids
there are 20 different amino acids
different proteins are made depending on the variation of the sequence of amino
acids
primary structure: amino acid sequence and held by peptide bonds (covalent -
strong)
secondary structure: amino acids held by hydrogen bonds (helix shaped or other)
tertiary structure: folded in 3D compound
quaternary structure: two polymers together
if protein is heated up, secondary structure will be destroyed by primary structure
will be intatct
mutation- change in one amino acid- will change the primary structure but might
not affect secondary structure
Explain the molecular forces that hold protein structure together and how they can
be disrupted. - ANSWER✔✔ - Covalent bonds hold primary structure together.
These bonds are given a special name: peptide bonds.
- Hydrogen bonds hold secondary structure together between the amino end of one
amino acid and the carboxy end of another amino acid.
- Tertiary structure is held together by a variety of interactions between R groups.
These include both hydrogen bonds and covalent bonds.
- Not all proteins have quaternary structure. Like tertiary structure, quaternary
structure is held together by R group interactions.
- secondary structure can be disrupted with heat but hard to break primary since it's
a strong covalent bond
