TEAER RESURE PAGE 22. rganic compounds are composed primarily of carbon atoms (have a carbon backbone) covalently bonded to other elements typically hydrogen and oxygen. 23. Living things require energy for all of the processes of life. Energy is required for the chemical reactions that make up an organism s metabolism. rganisms also use a great deal of energy to maintain homeostasis. 24. ATP is the main energy currency of cells. 25. holesterol is needed by the body for nerve and other cells to function. It is also a component of cell membranes.

Monomers link to form polymers through a condensation reaction. ydrolysis is a reversed condensation reaction and causes the breakdown of complex molecules. 26. A monosaccharide is a simple sugar that is a monomer of carbohydrates. A disaccharide consists of two monosaccharides bonded together. A polysaccharide consists of at least three bonded monosaccharides. 27. The shape of a protein is determined by the way the protein s amino acids interact with one another. Amino acid interactions can cause a protein to bend or fold. Protein shape can also be influenced by temperature and the type of solvent in which a protein is dissolved. 28. The polar, hydrophilic heads of phospholipids comprise the interior and exterior surfaces of the cell membrane, and the nonpolar, hydrophobic tails of phospholipids form the middle of the cell membrane. 29.

DNA contains information about heredity. DNA determines the characteristics of a cell, and it directs the cell s activities. 23. Small cells can exchange substances more readily than large cells can because small objects have a higher surface area-to-volume ratio. As a result, substances do not need to travel as far to reach the center of a smaller cell. 24. Mitochondria harvest energy from organic compounds to make ATP. 25. The cytoskeleton is a network of thin protein tubes and filaments that crisscross the cytosol. They give shape to the cell from the inside and act as a system of internal tracks on which items move around inside the cell. opyright by olt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved.
