Key Concepts in Organic Chemistry and Biochemical Reactions

What are the different types of hydrocarbons based on the types of bonds between carbon atoms?

Ane (single bonds), yne (triple bonds), and ene (double bonds).

What is the significance of isomers in compounds?

Compounds can exist as isomers, meaning they have the same molecular formula but different structural arrangements.

What type of hydrocarbons contain only single bonds between carbon atoms?

Saturated hydrocarbons.

What role does water play in cellular respiration and photosynthesis?

Water is a product of cellular respiration and a reactant in photosynthesis.

What are the reactants in cellular respiration?

Carbohydrates.

What do biochemical reactions require to proceed?

Enzymes and vitamins.

What happens when two areas of low pressure air meet?

They produce a difference in pressure, which can force objects, like cars, towards each other.
