MISC
A control that you expect no effect from in an experiment
What is a Negative Control?
This type of bonding involves the transfer of electrons and the formation of oppositely charged ions
This type of reaction synthesizes bonds by removing a molecule of water
What is Dehydration Reaction?
These fats are solid at room temperature due to the lack of double bonds in their fatty acid chains
What is a Saturated fat?
This variable is manipulated
What is independent variable?
This type of reaction breaks bonds by adding a water molecule
What is Hydrolysis?
This bond holds together the amino acid monomers of a protein
What is a Peptide Bond?
A lipid with a hydrophilic head group and two hydrophobic, fatty acid tails
What is a phospholipid?
This subatomic particle determines the isotope of an atom
This is the weakest type of bond but has additive properties
What is Hydrogen Bonding?
This macromolecule is the most abundant in the cell membrane
This level of protein structure is simply the chain or sequence of amino acids
What is primary structure?
This variable is always on the Y-axis when graphed and is the variable being measured
What is Dependent Variable
This is the term used to describe an atoms affinity for electrons
What is electronegativity?
This type of bonding involves the sharing of electrons
What is covalent bond?
These are the two possible types of secondary structure for a protein
What is alpha helix and beta pleated sheet?
This molecule maintains the fluidity of the cell membrane
What is Cholesterol?
This is the term for an idea that has been supported by a vast amount of scientific research. The closest thing to scientific fact
What is a Scientific Theory?
This subatomic particle determines the chemical reactivity of an atom
This is a bond that involves atoms with different electronegativities sharing electrons (water is an example)
What is a Polar Covalent Bond?
This is the component of the amino acid monomer which decides its individual amino acid properties
What is the R-group?
What are the components of a nucleic acid monomer?
What is a phosphate group, five-carbon sugar, and nitrogenous base?
This is the scientific term for a prediction
What is a hypothesis?
