All Editions Complete _ Campbell Biology 11th, 12th
and Latest 2024 Edtion (Urry, Cain, Wasserman) Each
with Chapter 1-56
Emergent Properties - ANSWERNew properties that emerge with each step upward
in the hierarchy of life, owing to the arrangement and interactions of parts as
complexity increases.
Gene expression - ANSWERThe process by which information in a gene directs the
manufacture of a cellular product.
Genome - ANSWER"library" of genetic instructions that an organism inherits
Producers - ANSWEROrganisms that produce their own food
Consumers - ANSWERAn organism that obtains energy and nutrients by feeding on
other organisms or their remains.
Feedback Regulation - ANSWERthe output or product of a process regulates that
very process
Hydrogen bond - ANSWERa weak bond between two molecules resulting from an
electrostatic attraction between a proton in one molecule and an electronegative
atom in the other
polar molecule - ANSWERmolecule with an unequal distribution of charge, resulting
in the molecule having a positive end and a negative end
cohesion - ANSWERAttraction between molecules of the same substance
adhesion - ANSWERattraction between molecules of different substances
surface tension - ANSWERA measure of how difficult it is to stretch or break the
surface of a liquid
thermal energy - ANSWERthe energy associated with the random movement of
atoms or molecules
temperature - ANSWERthe average kinetic energy of particles in a substance
calorie - ANSWERAmount of energy needed to raise temperature 1 gram of water 1
degree C
joule - ANSWERSI unit of energy
, Specific heat - ANSWERthe amount of heat that must be absorbed or lost for 1g of
that substance to change its temperature by 1 C
heat of vaporization - ANSWERthe quantity of heat a liquid must absorb for 1g of it
to be converted from the liquid to the gaseous state
hydration shell - ANSWERthe sphere of water molecules around each dissolved ion in
an aqueous solution
hydrophilic - ANSWERHaving an affinity for water.
hydrophobic - ANSWERHaving an aversion to water; tending to coalesce and form
droplets in water.
molarity - ANSWERthe number of moles of solute per liter of solution
Miller-Urey Experiment - ANSWER1953 experiment in which it was attempted to
reproduce the condition of the (assumed) earth's primitive ocean's under a reducing
atmosphere. Some of the key molecules to life (amino acids and nucleotides) were
produced.
isomers - ANSWERcompounds that have the same number of atoms of the same
elements but different structures and properties
Enantiomers - ANSWERisomers that are mirror images of each other
polymer - ANSWERLong molecule consisting of many similar or identical building
blocks linked by covalent bonds
dehydration reaction - ANSWERA chemical reaction in which molecules combine by
removing water
Hydrolysis - ANSWERBreaking down complex molecules by the chemical addition of
water
Monosaccharide - ANSWERA single sugar molecule such as glucose or fructose, the
simplest type of sugar.
Disaccharide - ANSWERA double sugar, consisting of two monosaccharides joined by
dehydration synthesis and a glycosidic linkage.
glycosidic linkage - ANSWERa type of covalent bond that joins a carbohydrate (sugar)
molecule to another group, which may or may not be another carbohydrate.
triacylglycerol - ANSWERA lipid consisting of three fatty acids linked to one glycerol
molecule; also called a fat
