Biochemistry Unit Exam Study Guide—Will contain multiple choice questions only
This is meant to be a study guide outlining ways to study and what to actively do to prepare.
 Review your active reading guide—check for accuracy by checking the folder on Mastering Biology (I will post by
Friday ALL the answers to the ones you’ve completed).
 Complete the “Test Your Understanding” questions at the end of every chapter.
 Review the “Summary of Key Concepts” at the end of every chapter as well.
 Look at every figure drawing, table or graph in the reading. Read all captions and make sure you understand each
visual. Specifically, look at:
o Figures 3.3, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.10, 4.2, 5.2, 5.5, 5.10, 5.11, 5.15, 5.16, 5.17, 5.20, 5.26, 8.3, 8.6, 8.8, 8.9,
8.13, 8.15, 8.16, 8.17, 8.19, 8.21
 Review Mastering Biology assignments—the assignment is never closed, you can always review it!
 Mastering Biology—Use the vocabulary/key word feature and the cumulative tests feature.
 Come to tutoring—Friday and/or Monday. Practice problems will be provided!
Key Vocabulary & Concepts (these are not all the words, just the highly emphasized ones)
 4 organic compounds—know its monomers and polymers (examples), the bonds it makes and breaks, its structure,
and main functions.
 peptide bond, covalent bond, hydrogen bond, ionic bond
 hydrolysis vs. dehydration synthesis (make sure you know HOW it’s done, the specific molecules that are released
or added, and how that changes the composition of the monomer/polymer)
 protein structures (primary, secondary, tertiary, quaternary)
 amino acid characteristics—nonpolar, polar, acidic, basic (see Figure 5.16)
 types of proteins (see figure 5.15)
 saturated vs. unsaturated fat (know structures)
 enzymes
 cohesion vs. adhesion
 water characteristics (surface tension, polarity, density of states, etc.)
 acid vs. basic, pH
 cation vs. anion
 metabolism
 2 laws of thermodynamics
 entropy
 spontaneous process
 free energy
 exergonic vs. endergonic
 ATP
 delta G
 activation energy
 substrate
 active site
 inhibitors/inhibition (noncompetitive as well)
 allosteric enzymes/regulators/sites
 feedback inhibition
