Proteins
The structure formed by the order of amino acids in a polypeptide chain.
What is the primary protein structure?
The monosaccharide that is ribose with one less oxygen.
What is deoxyribose
The form that phospholipids take when in water.
What is a phospholipid bilayer?
The pentose found in RNA.
What is ribose?
The structure formed by R group interactions in a polypeptide chain.
What is a tertiary protein structure?
The disaccharide formed by alpha-glucose and beta-fructose, through an alpha(1,2) glycosidic bond.
What is sucrose?
A fatty acid formed by a hydrocarbon chain with more than one double carbon bond.
What is a polyunsaturated fatty acid?

What are a hydrogen atom, a carboxyl group, an amino group, and a variable group (R)?
The disaccharide formed by two glucose through an alpha(1,4) bond.
What is maltose?
The alcohol to which one to three fatty acids attach, to create glycerides.
What is glycerol?
The bond that connects nucleotides together to form nucleic acids.
What are phosphodiester bonds?
The specific protein structure formed by hydrogen bonds between the N-H and the C=O backbone group 3-4 residues later in the sequence.
What is an Alpha Helix?
The branched polysaccharide found in animals, constructed from alpha-glucose through alpha(1,4) and alpha(1,6) bonds.
