Non-polar, stable, hydrophobic, organic compounds with very little attraction between molecules, usually gases at room temperature. They can be saturated or unsaturated.
What are hydrocarbons?
a covalent bond formed between the carboxyl group of one amino acid and the anime group of another.
What is a peptide bond?
What are geometric isomers?
Adenine and guanine
What are purines?
The monomer of a polypeptide
What are amino acids?
The R group, or variable group
What makes one amino acid different from another?
glucose and fructose, for example.
What are structural isomers?
The term to describe the directionality of the two sides of a DNA molecule: with the 5' end of one strand lining up with the 3' end of the other
What is antiparallel ?
The name of the functional group COOH
What is organic acid/ carboxylic acid group?
What is creation of a dipeptide/creation of a peptide bond/dehydration synthesis?
The pH when the hydroxide ion concentration in a body of water is 10-10
What is 4?
a nucleotide containing a phosphate, ribose, and nitrogenous base
What is an RNA nucleotide/ribonucleotide?
these building blocks have the empirical formula CH2O
What is a monosaccharide?
this term is used for when a change occurs in a protein's three dimensional shape that causes the protein to no longer function
what is denaturation?
C,N,O,H,S are found in this class of biomolecules
What are the elements that make up proteins?
The percent of thymine in a DNA molecule containing 20% guanine.
What is 30%?
A macromolecule that has a sugar, nitrogenous base and a phosphate. It acts as a building block for DNA and RNA.
What are nucleotides?
This type of interaction may occur between nonpolar R groups in the amino acid chain.
What are hydrophobic interactions?
A chemical reaction that allows for monomers to polymerize.
What is Condensation-Dehydration/synthesis reaction?
