Four Levels of Protein Structure
Macromolecules
100
the most common monosaccharide
What is glucose?
100
having little or no affinity for water
What is the unifying feature of lipids?
100
type of protein that acts as a catalyst to speed up chemical reactions
What is an enzyme?
100
this structure of a protein consists of coils and folds in the polypeptide chain
What is secondary structure?
100
a reaction that is the reverse of dehydration synthesis and results in polymers being disassembled by monomers
What is hydrolysis?
200
the location of the carbonyl group and the number of carbons in the carbon skeleton
What is a monosaccharide classified by?
200
fats,phospholipids, and steroids
What are the most biologically important lipids?
200
a protein consists of one or more of these which are polymers built from the same set of 20 amino acids
What are polypeptides?
200
this structure results when a protein consists of multiple polypeptide chains
What is quarternary structure?
200
a condensation reaction that occurs when two monomers bond together through the loss of a water molecule
What is dehydration synthesis?
300
a storage polysaccharide of plants that consists entirely of glucose monomers
What is starch?
300
constructed of glycerol and fatty acids
What are fats?
300
organic molecules with carboxyl and amino groups that are linked by peptide bonds
What is an amino acid?
300
this structure is the sequence of amino acids in a protein and is like the order of letters in a long word
What is primary structure?
300
long molecule consisting of many similar building blocks
What is a polymer?
400
sugar monomers and position of glycosidic linkages
What determines the structure and function of a polysaccharide?
400
have maximum number of hydrogen atoms possible and no double bonds
What is a saturated fat?
400
determines a protein's three dimensional structure
What does the sequence of amino acids determine?
400
this structure is determined by interactions among various side chains
What is tertiary structure?
400
Large molecules composed of thousands of covalently connected atoms
What are macromolecules?
500
structural polysaccharide found in the exoskeleton of arthropods
What is chitin?
500
have one or more double bonds
What is an unsaturated fatty acid?
500
this determines a proteins function
What does protein's structure do?
500
primary structure is determined by this
What is inherited genetic information?
500
carbohydrates,lipids,proteins, and nucleic acids
What are the four large biological molecules that make up all living things?
