Protein Structure
100

The theory that dictates that all organisms are made up of one or more cells, cells are the basic organizational unit of life and all cells come from pre-existing cells

What are cells?

100

The non-covalent attraction between H and an electronegative molecule

What is hydrogen bonding?

100

The word that describes all the DNA within a cell

What is the genome?

100

The level of protein structure that describes amino acids in a linear chain

What is the primary structure?

100

The direction arrows point in Beta Sheet diagrams (toward which end?)

What is the C-terminus?

200

The 3 major domains of all life on earth

What are archaea, bacteria and eukaryotes?

200

The non-covalent attraction that repels hydrophobic molecules and attracts hydrophilic ones

What are hydrophobic attractions?

200

The three components of a nucleotide

What are a nitrogen base, a sugar and a phosphate group?

200

The alpha helix and beta sheet are included in this level of protein structure

What are secondary structures?

200

The proper name for an amino acid inside a peptide chain

What is a residue?

300

The archaea scientists have used to explain how endosymbiotic theory may have occurred

What are Asgards?

300

The non-covalent attraction that takes place between two atoms as they become closer together

What are van der waal attractions?

300

The central dogma in Biology

What is DNA synthesis to RNA synthesis to Protein synthesis?

300

The name of the central carbon in any amino acid

What is a alpha carbon?

300

The two molecules that experience hydrogen bonding in alpha helix and beta sheet structures

What are carbonyl oxygens and amide hydrogens

400

These are the components of the E3 theory (200 bonus points if you can explain each one)

What are Entangle, Engulf, Endogenize?

400

The non-covalent attraction that takes place between positive and negatively charged molecules (unrelated to hydrogen)

What is electrostatic attraction?

400

The part of the nucleotide located at the 5' end of a DNA strand

What is the phosphate group?

400

The sequence of 3 that makes up the backbone of any amino acid?

What is Carbon, Carbon, Nitrogen?

400

A group of proteins with similar structure or domains but different purposes/functions

What are domain families?

500

The order in which these groups evolved, ancestral prokaryote, plants, archaea, single-celled eukaryotes, mitochondria and chloroplasts

What is ancestral prokaryote, archaea, mitochondria, single-celled eukaryotes, chloroplasts and plants?

500

The type of reaction that creates the bond that links amino acids together in a linear chain

What are condensation reactions?

500

The type of bond that links together the monomers of a RNA or DNA strand
