II) CONTENT (Multiple Choice)*
1. What do the terms neutral, basic, and acidic mean in terms of pH, H+
concentration and OH- concentration?
2. What are monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides? Give
examples of each.
3. Draw/describe primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structures of
proteins.
4. List the structure, function, and examples of the 4 macromolecules (Carbs,
Proteins, Lipids, and Nucleic Acids).
5. Describe the structure and function for each organelle/cell part.
6. Explain the relationship between metabolism, catabolism, anabolism,
dehydration synthesis, and hydrolysis.
7. Relate exergonic/endergonic reactions to metabolism
8. Delta G with exergonic/endergonic and spontaneous/non-spontaneous
