This document contains 13 questions about biochemistry concepts for a problem set. The questions cover topics such as the structures and functions of organelles like the Golgi apparatus and lysosomes, the chemical nature of biomolecules, differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, the role of water as a polar molecule, hydrogen bonds, pH, titration curves, definitions of acid strength, amphipathic molecules, and equivalence points. The final questions are about buffers, buffering capacity, and how different buffer solutions compare in capacity and pH.

INTRUCTIONS : Please answer the following questions briefly and concisely. Refer to Biochemistry by Campbell and Farrell 1. State how the following organelles differ from each other in terms of structure and function: Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, peroxisomes, glyoxysomes. How do they resemble each other? 2. What is the chemical nature of important biomolecules? 3. How do prokaryotes and eukaryotes differ in Levels of Organization? 4. What are the main structural features of Prokaryotic cells? 5. What is the connection between Energy and Change? 6. The existence of organelles in eukaryotic cells represents a higher degree of organization than that found in prokaryotes. How does this affect the entropy of the universe? 7. What makes water a polar molecule? 8. What is a Hydrogen Bond? Enumerate examples of biomolecules which contain H-bonds. Illustrate them. 9. What is pH and what does it have to do with the properties of water? 10. What are titration curves? 11. Define the following: a) acid strength b) amphipathic molecule c) equivalence point 12. What are buffers and why are they important? 13. Define buffering capacity. How do the following buffers differ in capacity? How do they differ in pH? 0.1 M Na2HPO4 and 0.01 M NaH2PO4 0.1 M Na2HPO4 and 0.1 M NaH2HPO4 1.0 M Na2HPO4 and 1.0 M NaH2HPO4
