Biology Benchmark I Biological Molecules
Control Groups • Are used to compare your results to the experimental group
Experiment • A scientist is testing mild for the presence of bacteria. Exactly 100 ml of a test solution must be added to each milk sample. Which of these instruments would most accurately measure the volume of the test solution?
Measurement • Which unit is best for measuring the height of a newly sprouted plant?
Water Is polar And a universal solvent
Proteins • Are made up of amino acids
Vitamin D • Responsible for proper bone formation
Enzymes • Help to speed up chemical reactions • Help to break down substances
Nucleic Acids • Store hereditary information • Are found in our • DNA
Carbohydrates • Are a good source of food • Are found in starches
Toxins any poison produced by an organism, characterized by antigenicity in certain animals and high molecular weight, and including the bacterial toxins that are the causative agents of tetanus, diphtheria, etc., and such plant and animal toxins as ricin and snake venom.
Rates of Reactions • Are affected by temperatures: • Colder temperatures slow down reactions • Warmer temperatures speed up reactions • As pH decreases so • will reaction rates
Lab Safety • Wear goggles when using chemicals and glass • Know your safety symbols
