Water molecules sticking to other water molecules due to Hydrogen bonds
cohesion
OH, alcohol, -ol ending, and functions as polarity
hydroxyl
what sugar is 12-20 units long
oligosaccharide
gives amino acids their unique functions
residue
2 atoms sharing electrons, but being somewhat different in electronegativity
polar covalent
smallest representative of an element
atom
hydroxyl & carbonyl on the same carbon (functions as an acid)
carboxyl
what is rapidly expelled from the stomach, making you hungrier faster
simple sugar
secondary structure of protein
alpha helix & beta pleated sheet
2 atoms differ dramatically in electronegativity
ionic bond
what are hadrons? Give 2 examples.
group of 3 quarks (protons & neutrons)
can be terminal or nonterminal (has -al ending or -one ending)
carbonyl
what lipid is solid at room temperature because it has no double bonds
saturated fat
what is released from the pancreas when blood sugar is too high
insulin
attractions between partially charged regions on different polar molecules
hydrogen bond
Elements undergo reactions to complete the ________________ shell.
valence
give proteins 3-D structure
sulfhydral
lipid that is the primary component of the cell membrane
phospholipid
2 ring structure and is adenine & guanine
purine
2 atoms are similar in electronegativity
nonpolar covalent
an element's ability to attract electrons
electronegativity
has too many functions, but is involved in DNA methylation patterns
methyl
converting a liquid oil to a solid at room temperature
hydrogenation
what is always double stranded, always alpha helix, and has complementary base pairings A-T & G-C
DNA
what bond is represented by a dotted line
hydrogen bond
