Chemistry
This type of bond is between a metal and a non-metal
What is ionic bonds?
A property of water that gives it a partial negative charge on the oxygen atom and a partial positive charge on the hydrogen atom.
These molecules are found in all 4 major macromolecules
What are carbon, hydrogen and oxygen?
Carbohydrates commonly form into this shape
What is a ring structure?
This is the amount of adenine that would be present in a DNA strand if there was 10% Guanine.
What is 40% adenine?
This type of bond is between two non-metals and can also be polar
What is covalent bonds?
These interactions are the basis for most properties of water.
What are hydrogen bonds?
The term referring to one subunit of a larger molecule
What are monomers?
This is the monomer of a carbohydrate
What are monosaccharides?
What is primary structure?
What are acids?
These two properties of water allow plants to move water from their roots, into their stems and ultimately to their leaves.
What is cohesion and adhesion?
The term referring to multiple subunits bonded together
What are polymers?
What are lipids?
In tertiary structure, this part of the amino acids interacts and bonds with each other, forming disulfide bridges, covalent bonds and other interactions.
What are the "R" Groups
The type of reaction that synthesizes a molecule while removing water from the molecules
What is dehydration synthesis?
What is expands upon freezing?
This functional group is the only one that is non-polar and hydrophobic
What is a methyl group?
These type of lipids typically come in liquid form and have at least one double bond within the fatty acid tails.
What are unsaturated fats?
This is the number of hydrogen bonds between G and C, making them harder to break apart
What is 3 hydrogen bonds
This type of reaction uses water as a reactant to break bonds between molecules.
What is hydrolysis?
Areas near large bodies of water, such as oceans, have a cooler temperature because of this property of water
What is high specific heat?
Molecules that have the same formula, but the molecular structure is different
What are isomers?
This part of the phospholipid is hydrophobic, always facing towards each other in a bilayer or circle.
What are the tails of the phospholipid?
This sugar is unique to RNA because it has an oxygen where DNA doesn't.
What is ribose?
