What to know?
1. Neutrons are neutral, makes up nucleus, and weighs about 1 dalton
2. Protons are positive, make up nucleus, are equal to # of electrons
3. Electrons are negative; randomly surround the nucleus, and equal # of protons. The amount of these determines the chemical properties and reactivity of an atom.
Hydrogen: One electron, Carbon: 6 electrons, Nitrogen: 7 electrons, Oxygen: 8 electrons.
4. Salts in the body, like Calcium, Potassium, and Sodium Chloride and Iron, are all ionicly bonded. Know the appearance of Sodium chloride and else wise be able to identify
Anions: Chloride; Gains electrons and becomes negative. Cations- Sodium; loses electrons and becomes positive.
5. Bonds:
Nucleic Acids are held together by H-bonds.
Hydrogen bonds are in proteins on left side. Aid in tertiary structure by holding polar side chains together, while Ionic bonds hold positive and negative charges, helping stabilize the tertiary structure.
Adenine and thymine have 2 hydrogen bonds.
Guanine and cytosine have three.
Hydrogen bonds are part of the Secondary structure of Proteins and helps with local folding.
Peptide bonds form due to dehydration synthesis between amino acids, linking them together.
Ester linkage forms between the glycerol and three fatty acids!
Phosphodiester bonds forms between the phosphates and the nitrogen base in a sugar.
Hydrolsis breaks polymers by adding water to them, thus causing h+ to go to one, and OH- to go to the other. It requires enzymes and water, and produces energy.
Dehydration Synthesis requires the –HO of one monomer and the –HO of another, along with an enzyme and energy to form a polymer.
A population consists of organisms of the same species in the same

AP Biology Reflective Essay

AP Biology is a class I would love to take next year. After taking Biology in freshman year, I grew engrossed in the field. I have always found the study of living organisms fascinating and I hope to continue to learn more about biology. I have also gained a passion for science related to medicine, so biology would encourage me to obtain more information on medical techniques. The weekly labs would be a great experience and I hope that I will learn a great deal through hands-on lessons. If accepted…

ap biology Essay

Reactants of a chemical reaction need to gain energy before they can undergo the reaction. This required energy is called the activation energy of the reaction and it is needed to break bonds within the reactants. At a later stage in the reaction energy will be released as new bonds form. The majority of biological reactions are exothermic. In exothermic reactions the energy released by the new bonds formed is greater than the activation energy. In other words, the reaction releases energy. Enzymes…

Essay about AP Biology ATP

When a person stands the heart needs to pump blood against gravity, to reach areas of importance like the brain, thus veins work hard to pump it back toy the heart. As a person reclines their blood pressure decreases, because the person is more relaxed. Also it slows down the persons breathing and heart rate.
