BIO 3102 Study Guide - Extremophile, Gas Giant, Cell Membrane
Document Summary
Any attraction process between dissimilar molecular species that can potentially bring them in close contact. The tendency of dissimilar particles and/or surfaces to cling to one another. Dispersive adhesion, chemical adhesion, and diffusive adhesion. Geological eon after the hadean era from 3800 ma - 2500 ma. Banded iron formations - oxygen in atmosphere. Simple molecules that are the building blocks for longer polymers. Amino acids that are strung together to form proteins. More complex biological molecules that are composed of many - sometimes thousands of monomers. Element made by nuclear fission in stars. Able to make 4 covalent bonds, allow for complex organic molecules. Dna ----> transcription ----> rna -----> translation ------> protein. One way process of the transfer of sequence information from dna to rna to make. The hydrogen-bond lattice of water results in water molecules staying toegether. Like molecules sticking together due to intermolecular attraction. Water because of its polar make up - positive hydrogen attracts negative oxygen.
