SBI4U Biochemistry Test Review and Preview The following topics and question types are fair game for a unit test Fri 23 Aug. Bonding and Compounds: * Which of the following bonds are polar and which are nonpolar? How can you tell? What happens between atoms to produce a polar bond? * Identify 2-3 pairs of elements whose atoms will bond covalently. Identify another 2-3 elements whose atoms will form ionic bonds with each other. Use diagrams and notes to illustrate and explain what happens to form each type of bond. * Atoms of group 18 elements (the noble gases) do not form bonds. Why do other atoms bond to each other? Give a few examples of different atoms forming different types of bonds. * Explain how and why atoms form bonds…show more content…
Analyze the polarity of the different regions of a phospholipid molecule. Use the model of the phospholipid to describe the structure of the cell membrane. How do water, phospholipids, and proteins interact to produce the cell membrane? * Analyze the polarity and water-solubility of the different regions of the globular protein floating in the phospholipid bilayer membrane shown below. The protein molecule is able to float in the membrane – part of it is embedded in the membrane, part of it sticks into the cytoplasm, and part of it sticks out into the aqueous environment of the cell. What do you suspect about its structure, including its amino acid sequence, to make it behave as it does? * Examine the diagram of the cell membrane below. Is the diagram a “good” illustration of the fluid mosaic model of the cell membrane? What aspects of cell membrane structure are accurately illustrated by it? * Describe the structure of the cell membrane according to the fluid mosaic model. * What class of biological molecules do enzymes fit into: carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, or nucleic acids? How do enzymes work? What do they do? Why are they so specific for a certain
