Water and Bonding
Water molecules will bond together using this weak type of bond.
What are hydrogen bonds
Glucose and other simple sugars are primarily used for this in organisms.
What is quick energy
This is the name of lipids aversion of water due to its nonpolar nature.
What is hydrophobia
Enzymatic proteins work as this, where it speeds up a reaction, but is not used up in the process.
What is a catalyst.
This is the role of nucleic acids
Water demonstrates this quality due to the uneven sharing of electrons, leading to the oxygen being slightly negative and hydrogens being slightly positive.
What is polarity
This is the monomer of Carbohydrates
What are monosaccharides (an example being glucose)
These elements are found in a phospholipid
What are Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, and Phosphorus
This structure of protein is made up of peptide bonds between amino acids, forming a long chain.
What is the primary structure
This is the monomer of nucleic acids
What is a nucleotide
What is dehydration synthesis
These elements compose all carbohydrates.
What are Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen (CHO)
These two monomers are used to make up most lipids.
What is glycerol and fatty acid tails.
These elements are found in proteins
What are Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen (and Sulfur in small amounts)
These elements are found in nucleic acids
What are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphorus (chonp)
This process occurs when breaking down a polymer, requiring water to break apart the bonds holding it together.
This type of carbohydrate is formed by glucose monomers bonded together in a tight formation, providing strength and rigidity to plants, such as celery.
What is cellulose
An unsaturated fatty acid would have this type of bond in its tail
What is a double bond
These are the two names of protein secondary structures, which are formed due to the hydrogen bonding occurring between molecules in the primary structure.
What are alpha helixes and beta sheets
These three components are found in the monomer of DNA.
What are phosphate, Deoxyribose pentose sugar, and nitrogenous base
This is name of the property of water in which water molecules hold each other tightly, causing dew drops on plants or enough surface tension for water striders to walk across the top of water.
What is cohesion
This type of polymer is stored in your muscles to provide energy over a longer period of time, such as running a marathon.
What is glycogen
These are three different roles of lipids in organisms.
What are long-term energy storage, membrane composition, and chemical messengers like steroids (and insulation)
These are five different roles of proteins
What are enzymes, structural, storage, transport, hormonal, receptor, and contractile/motor proteins.
List the nitrogenous bases for DNA and the base that is different in RNA.
What is Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, and Guanine in DNA. In RNA, Uracil replaces Thymine.
