Overview
Carbohydrates
Lipids
Proteins
Nucleic Acids
100
The six most common elements in living things.
What is Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Phosphorous, and Sulfur.
100
Two simple sugars joined by dehydration synthesis (i.e. sucrose)
What is a Disaccharide?
100
Common types of Lipids include..
What is Triglycerides,Phospholipids,Steroids,Waxes?
100
Proteins are made up of these monomers.
What is Amino Acids?
100
The nitrogen bases.
What is Guanine, Cytosine, Adenine, Thymine and Uracil?
200
The study of all compounds that contain bonds between carbon atoms.
What is organic chemistry.
200
Relative of cellulose and found in cell walls of fungi and exoskeleton of arthropods.
What is Chitin?
200
A chain that is non polar.
What is hydrophobic?
200
Amino Acids are joined by these bonds and eventually form polypeptides.
What is a Peptide Bond?
200
Single stranded and involved in protein synthesis.
What is RNA
300
Process in which water is removed as the monomers join together. For each monomer that is joined, a water molecule must be removed.
What is Dehydration Synthesis.
300
Starch and Glycogen are good examples of this type of Carb.
What is a Polysaccharide?
300
This is a liquid at room temp because double bonds create kinks in fatty acid chains that don’t allow fat to solidify as easily and mostly from plants (olive, peanut and canola oil)
What is Unsaturated Fat?
300
If temperature, salt, or ph level change, the stuctrure may lose all function.
What is Denature?
300
consist of a sugar, phosphate, and nitrogen base
What is a Nucleotide?
400
Process where water is added in order to break macromolecules up. For every bond broken, one molecule of water must be added.
What is Hydrolysis.
400
Animals use for long term energy storage and it is more highly branched than starch.
What is Glycogen?
400
Type of lipid found in fat deposits,composed of glycerol and 3 other fatty acids,is the source of long-term energy storage, protection and insulation.
What is Triglyceride?
400
Two or more polypeptide folded chains come together to form a functioning protein. Each chain known as a sub unit.
What is Quaternary Structure?
400
ATP is stored here.
What is high-energy phosphate bond?
500
What is this formula an example of Cellulose + water → glucose + glucose ?
What is Hydrolysis?
500
Molecules with the same formula but different structures.
What is a Isomer?
500
Forms basis of steroids.
What is Cholesterol?
500
Alpha helix and Beta sheets make up this specific pattern.
What is Secondary Structure?
500
Is double stranded and stores the genetic code.
What is DNA
