Different functions are the result of these being different in molecules
Different structures
100
Water is this type of molecule, where each element has a slight partial charge
What is polar?
100
Organic molecules always contain this element
What is carbon?
100
The monomer of a carbohydrate
What is a monosaccharide?
100
The primary structure of proteins consists of these molecules strung together
What are amino acids?
200
This type of bond is between a metal and a nonmetal
What are ionic bonds?
200
This type of property allows molecules to stick to other molecules that are not the same.
What is adhesion?
200
The term used for a single/subunit of a molecule
What is a monomer?
200
The two monomers of lipids
What are Glycerol and Fatty Acids
200
This is the monomer of a nucleic acid
What are nucleotides?
300
These types of bonds are between two compounds with partial charges
What are hydrogen bonds?
300
This property of water causes water to need a high amount of energy to change state from a liquid to a gas
What is high heat of vaporization/heat of vaporization
300
The word used to describe a molecule with multiple subunits bonded together
What is polymer?
300
These polysaccharides are made in plants
What is starch?
300
The number of hydrogen bonds between adenine and thymine
What is 2?
400
These two molecules are an example of what concept?
What are isomers?
400
When water freezes into ice, the structure does this allowing it to float on water and become less dense
What is expand?
400
This functional group is non-polar
What is methyl?
400
Normally solid, these lipids do not have any double bonds in their fatty acid tails
What are saturated fatty acids?
400
If there is 20% G in a DNA molecule, what will be the percentage of T?
What is 30% T?
500
This type of solution has more OH ions than H ions
What are bases?
500
In this reaction, water is added to a molecule and causes it to split/break down
What is hydrolysis?
500
This reaction is done by removing water from two molecules to bond them together
What is dehydration synthesis?
500
When phospholipids are put into water, which way will the fatty acid tails face?
What is towards each other?
500
A chemical binds to a protein composed of a single polypeptide chain and prevents the formation of an alpha helix.This structure is most affected by this chemical.
What is secondary structure?
