Please note! You are responsible for all material in your lecture notes AND your assigned reading as
described in the reading guides. You are NOT responsible for the material I told you to omit in the
reading.
This guide is meant to help organize your studying, and is not meant to be all inclusive. I use
this guide to write your exams.
This exam only covers the LECTURE. There is NO LAB information on this exam.
Vocabulary words are in bold type in this list, and you need to know their definitions (even if I
haven’t directly said this in this review)
I. The Nature of Science
--know what a hypothesis is
--know what a theory is
--know the difference between a hypothesis and a theory
--know the steps of the scientific method
--know the difference between inductive and deductive reasoning, and be able to apply to examples
-- know how to identify independent and dependent variables
-- know how to identify standardized (or controlled) variables for an experiment
--know the characteristics of living organisms
--know the general organization of living organisms
--know the major domains of living organisms
--know the process for scientific naming (genus/species)
Know that there are two types of lipids: True Fats and Sterols
-- True Fats (recognize and describe, not draw)
--Types of True Fats
--Triglycerides: 3 FA; very hydrophobic
--Phospholipids : 2 FA and phosphate; amphipathic; forms bilayer in water
--Sterols
--be able to give examples
--Know the Functions of Lipids
C. Nucleic acids
--nucleotides as monomers
-know the two sugars and which polymer they are associated with (DNA or RNA)
--know the 5 nitrogenous bases and how to group them as purines or pyrimidines
--Know that DNA, RNA are the polymer form (but you don’t need to know structure)
D. Proteins
--amino acids: structure (know how to draw the basic structure and label functional groups)
--classification of R groups by their chemistry (polar, nonpolar, polar positive, polar negative)
--condensation reaction: which macromolecules use this reaction for assembly?
--know what peptide bonds are, and be able to circle them/count them in a chemical structure
--polypeptide structure: know the levels below, and the factors that contribute to them
-primary
-secondary
-tertiary
-quartenary
--Factors that affect protein structure
-temperature, pH
--know concept of denaturing an protein: breaking weak bonds (hydrogen, etc)—NOT peptide
bonds
