Review for
Chapters 1-3,
Fall 2006. What are
two major theories in biology? Know
the basic atomic model and the location and attributes of the subatomic
particles. Can
you explain what a chemical bond is based on your knowledge of the atom
and the characteristics of the atomic parts? What
defines an organic vs. an inorganic molecule? How
many covalent bonds must each carbon atom form and why is this important? How
many unique amino acids are there? Know
the 4 major groups of organic molecules including their elemental What
type of chemical bond helps to hold the 3-dimensional shape of proteins
and DNA? Why is an unsaturated fat called "unsaturated?" Be
able to recognize transmission electron vs. scanning electron micrographs. Why
are cells small? How
does surface area change relative to volume as an object gets larger in
all dimensions? What
are the generalizations of the cell theory? Who
are the Germans that formulated the cell theory? Know
the structure and function of each of the cell components listed at the
end of this paragraph. Are cell walls and central vacuoles found in
both animal and plant cells? If not, to which group are they
found? Cell Structures: cell wall, plasma membrane,
nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, golgi bodies, vesicles, lysosomes, cytoskeleton, flagella, cilia, central vacuole, chloroplasts,
mitochondria. What are
the functions of cell membrane proteins. Other
