BIOCHEM 1st part Carbohydrates, Water and Cell

Front

Differentiate the Two types of cell based on their structural characteristics

Back

Prokaryotic Cells - No true Nucleus, only Nucleoid, no membrane-bound organelles, Genetic material is freely found in the cytosol. Smaller simpler and Single Celled.

Eukaryotic Cells - Well defined nucleus enclosed by a nuclear membrane, as well as many various membrane-bound organelles, more larger and for multi-cellular organisms such as plants and animals

Front

Organelles that is present on both prokaryotes and eukaryotes

Back

Cell membrane, Ribosomes

Front

What is the difference between supramolecular complexes and macromolecules

Back

Macromolecules are built from one type of monomeric units while supramolecular complexes are built from various different monomeric units and macromolecucles

Front

Hydrogen Forms _ Number of Hydrogen Bonds

Back

4

Front

Differentiate Smooth and Rough ER

Back

Smooth ER synthesizes lipids while rough ER aids in the processing of protein synthesis

Front

What do prokaryotes have instead of mitochondria

Back

They only have oxidative enzymes that are located in their plasma membrane

Front

Differentiate Adhesion and Cohesion characteristics of water

Back

Adhesion is the ability of water molecules to attract and stick to other surfaces while cohesion is the attraction of water towards each other

Front

General Formula for Carbohydrates

Back

C_nH_2nO_n

Front

Differentiate aldoses and ketoses

Back

They differ in the functional group they have, Aldoses have an aldehyde group at C1, and Ketoses have a ketone group ate C2

Front

How many trioses are there including their stereoisomers and what are they?

Back

(D and L) Glyceraldehyde and Dihydroxyacetone
