Carbohydrates
The function of starch
What is an energy storage molecule found in plants?
Estrogen belongs to this class of lipids
What are steroids?
The function of a protein is determined by these three factors
What is its amino acid sequence, its physical shape and structure, and whether or not it has been denatured?
The function of nucleic acids in cells
What is they make up the genetic material?
The biggest factor that determines the function of a protein
What is its shape?
Glycogen and starch are polymers formed from this class of monomers
What are monosaccharides?
Unlike other organic macromolecules, lipids such as triglycerides are not these
What are polymers?
Two things that can cause proteins to become denatured
What are acids and heat?
Two structural differences between RNA and DNA
What is DNA is double-stranded while RNA is single-stranded and DNA uses deoxyribose for its sugar while RNA uses ribose?
Molecules that are made of as many as thousands of atoms bonded together
What are macromolecules?
Starch is a polymer of this specific monomer
What is glucose?
Lipids are this, meaning they will not dissolve in water
What is hydrophobic?
Proteins are polymers formed from these monomers
What are amino acids?
RNA and DNA are polymers formed from these monomers
What are nucleotides?
The outputs of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction are called these
What are products?
What is cellulose?
The hydrophobic regions of the phospholipids in a phospholipid bilayer are located here
What is between the hydrophilic regions?
Enzymes fulfill which protein function
What is the regulation of chemical reactions?
The three components of a nucleotide
What are a phosphate group, a nitrogenous base, and a sugar?
This type of atom forms four covalent bonds, is found in every macromolecule, and is the basis for organic chemistry
What is carbon?
Carbohydrates will dissolve in water, so they are called this
What is hydrophilic?
For a fat to qualify as a saturated fat, this must be true
What is it has only single bonds between carbons?
The inputs of an enzyme catalyzed reaction
What are substrates or reactants?
These bonds form between bases on opposite strands of DNA
What are hydrogen bonds?
The compounds produced by the Urey-Miller experiment
What are sugars, amino acids, and parts of nucleic acids?
