Carbohydrates
Monosaccharides are joined together by this type of bond.
What is a glycosidic linkage?
These are the 3 components of a nucleotide.
What is a nitrogenous base, pentose sugar, and one or more phosphate groups?
This type of bond is formed between amino acid monomers to form proteins.
What is a peptide bond?
This type of linkage joins fatty acids to glycerol.
What is an ester linkage?
This reaction deals with the bonding of 2 monomers through the loss of a water molecule.
What is a dehydration reaction?
This is the main storage polysaccharide of plants, while this is the major storage polysaccharide in animals.
What is starch? What is glycogen?
These bases make up the pyramidines.
What is cytosine (C), thymine (T), and uracil (U)?
The two functional groups that are found within amino acids.
What are amino groups and carboxyl groups?
The overall polarity of lipid molecules.
What is nonpolar?
This macromolecule is not considered a monomer.
What are lipids?
The main difference between cellulose and starch is that cellulose uses this type of bond.
What is beta-glucose?
These linkages join adjacent nucleotides together.
What are phosphodiester linkages?
This type of reaction breaks peptide bonds within proteins.
What is a hydrolysis reaction?
This type of fatty acid does not contain any double bonds.
What are saturated fatty acids?
The amino acid that allows the formation of disulfide bridges.
What is cysteine?
This is a type of structural polysaccharide found in the cell walls of fungi and exoskeleton of arthropods.
What is chitin?
These are the ways in which RNA differs from DNA.
RNA is single stranded instead of double stranded and uses uracil (U) instead of thymine (T) as a nucleotide base
A protein's secondary structure can be attributed to this type of bonding.
What is hydrogen bonding?
The major function of fats.
What is energy storage?
This type of fatty acid is liquid at room temperature.
What are unsaturated fatty acids?
Carbohydrates are made up of these elements in a 1:2:1 ratio.
What is carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen?
These are sequences of DNA that are stored within triplets of nucleotide bases and correspond to a specific amino acid.
What are codons?
The level of protein structure that involves the interaction of 2 or more polypeptide chains.
What is quaternary structure?
These are the main components of phospholipids.
What is a phosphate group (hydrophilic head) and 2 fatty acids (hydrophobic tail)?
This is the precursor for all other steroid molecules.
What is cholesterol?
