Biochem Basics
What are the 3 parts of an atom, and which contribute to atomic mass?
Protons, neutrons, electrons

If delta G<0 the reaction will be _____, and therefore, _______.
exergonic, favorable
What is the monomer and polymer of a protein
amino acids and polypeptides
nucleotide
polynucleotide chain
** double points
Monomer and polymer of a carbohydrate
Monomer and polymer of a lipid
monosaccharide, polysaccharide
Fatty Acid, Triglyceride
Acidic
In Redox reactions which gains electrons and which looses electrons
Oxidation is loosing electrons
Reduction is gaining electrons
What is the bond name for a protein
peptide bond
what is the bond name for a nucleic acid
phosphodiester linkage
what is the bond name for a carb
glycosidic linakge
What is the main difference in polar and non polar covalent bonds?
Polar bonds contain electronegativity or a "charge" , non polar are "neutral"
Double Points**
What is the role of hydrogen in redox reactions?
When a molecule gains a hydrogen, it is then reduced because it is gaining an electron from the hydrogen molecule.
Nitrogen come from what group on a protein?
amino
The process of taking mRNA -> amino acids -> proteins is better known as
translation
what is the bond name for a lipid
ester linkage
What is the difference in exercise and physical activity?
Physical activity is any movement, exercise is planned, patterned, and repeated movement
Where do we store the energy in an ATP molecule?
Phosphoanhydride linkages
enzymes are also called _____ which are responsible for speeding up a reaction
catalyst
Transcription is the process of taking ____ to ____.
*Bonus
Where does this occur and why?
DNA to mRNA
Nucleus, because we never want to see DNA outside of the nucleus
What are the 3 disaccharides we have in our body

this is known as the term for the breaking down of protein by structure.
Bonus*
What are the main 2 ways this can happen?
denaturation
temp/pH
The coding segment of a genetic sequence is better known as an
