Biology Worksheet ?

This biology worksheet provides a review of concepts related to acids and bases, carbohydrates, minerals, and chemical reactions. It contains questions about the pH range for acids, the importance of water for living organisms, examples of important minerals and their functions, the chemical makeup and examples of monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides, functions of carbohydrates, the formation of glucosidic bonds, and classifying reactions as dehydration synthesis or hydrolysis. Students are asked to define terms, provide examples, describe processes, and classify chemical reactions.

Review questions

1. On a pH scale from 0 to 14, what is the acid range?

pHs less than 7 are acidic. ((Between 0 and 7 acid, 7 is neutral, between 7 and 14 is bases.))

2. Why is water essential substance for living organisms?

Sun heat evaporates water; evaporating water aggregates in the atmosphere as clouds of droplets. When
these masses reach a sufficient size, they descend to the earth in rain, hail or snow and allow life to continue.
In addition, most of the food, especially vegetables and fruits, is water.

3. What is a mineral? State the importance of three minerals for human body.

A mineral is a naturally occurring inorganic solid, with a definite chemical composition, and an ordered atomic
arrangement.

Magnesium : Found in bones; needed for making protein, muscle contraction, nerve transmission, immune
system health

Iodine : Found in thyroid hormone, which helps regulate growth, development, and metabolism

Iron : Part of a molecule (hemoglobin) found in red blood cells that carries oxygen in the body; needed for
energy metabolism.

4. Describe the chemical make up of carbohydrates divided into three major groups? Give three
examples for each group.

Monosaccharides are the simplest carbohydrates with one or more hydroxyl groups, either in the aldehyde or
ketone structure.For example glucose, fructose, galactose.

Disaccharides are double sugars. A disaccharide is made up of two molecules of monosaccharide linked by a
glycoside bond. During this bonding, water is produced as much as the bond number.For example maltose,
sucrose, lactose.

Polysaccharides are chemical substances formed by the combination of multiple and separate
monosaccharides with glycoside bonds.For example include storage polysaccharides such as starch,
glycogen and galactogen and structural polysaccharides such as cellulose and chitin.

5. List the functions of carbohydrates for human body.

There are five primary functions of carbohydrates in the human body. They are energy production, energy
storage, building macromolecules, sparing protein, and assisting in lipid metabolism.

6. What is glucosidic bond? Describe its formation in the synthesis of a double sugar from single
sugars.

A glycosidic bond or glycosidic linkage is a type of covalent bond that joins a carbohydrate molecule to
another group, which may or may not be another carbohydrate. Disaccharide means formation in double
sugar synthesis from single sugar.

7. Classify each reaction below as either dehydration synthesis or hydrolysis.

a) Formation of sucrose from glucose and fructose


Sucrose is formed when a monomer of glucose and a monomer of fructose are joined in a dehydration
reaction to form a glycosidic bond. In the process, a water molecule is lost.

b) Conversion of fats into fatty acids and glycerol


Conversion of fats into fatty acids and glycerol is dehydration synthesis.

c) Breakdown of starch to glucose

Starch is a molecule formed as a result of a large number of glucose molecules linked together by
dehydration synthesis. ... In the digestive system, it undergoes hydrolysis and breaks down into glucose.
