100
This is the basic structure of an amino acid.
100
This is the structure of DNA.
What is a double helix?
200
These are the 6 elements that make up 99% of all living things.
What is C, H, O, N, P, and S?
200
Attractive forces between water molecules that leads to water's many emergent properties.
What is a hydrogen bond?
200
This is a single unit that bonds to other single units to form long chains.
What is a monomer?
200
This is the term for the bond between 2 monosaccharides.
What is glycosidic linkage?
200
These are the two components of triglycerides.
What are glycerol and fatty acids?
200
This is the type of bond that connects amino acids together
What is a peptide bond?
200
These are the three parts to nucleotides.
What are phosphate groups, pentose sugars, and nitrogenous bases?
300
This is a pure substance that cannot be broken down chemically.
What is an element?
300
This property of water allows for plant water transport due to the polarity of water allowing the water molecules to "stick" to other things.
What is adhesion?
300
This is the process used to turn polymers into monomers.
What is hydrolysis?
300
These are the two basic structures of polysaccharides.
What is linear or branched?
300
This is a type of fat that has at least one double bond in its fatty acid chain.
What is an unsaturated fat?
300
This is the reason why proteins denature.
What is changes in pH, temperature and salt concentration?
300
These are the nitrogenous bases that are distinctly different in DNA and RNA.
What is uracil and thymine?
400
Type of covalent bond in which electrons are not shared equally.
What is a polar covalent bond?
400
This is the reason why ice is less dense than water and can preserve life in large bodies of water.
What is solid water slows down and gets closer, causing more hydrogen bonds to form and separating?
400
This is the process that turns monomers into polymers.
What is dehydration?
400
This is the function for linear polysaccharides such as cellulose and chitin.
What is structural?
400
This is the function of steroids.
What is a signaling molecule?
400
This is the reason why polypeptides fold.

400
This is the difference in function between DNA and RNA.
What is DNA stores genetic information while RNA translates and transcribes genetic information?
500
This is the reason why carbon is most fundamental to sustaining life.
What is carbon develops ALL macromolecules essential to life?
500
These are the 6 fundamental properties of water.
What is cohesion/adhesion, surface tension, temperature moderation, high specific heat, high heat of vaporization, and universal solvent?
500
This is the type of bond that connects one monomer to another after dehydration synthesis.
What is a covalent bond?
