Sugar
What is monosaccharide
Cholesterol is a type of this
What is a steroid
This is the monomer of proteins
What are amino acids
Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, and Thymine or Uracil
What are nitrogenous bases
These consist of carbon and hydrogen
What are hydrocarbons
The position of this functional group shows the difference between an aldose sugar and a ketose sugar
What is the carbonyl group
Animal fats such as lard and butter are composed mostly of this type of molecule
What is saturated fatty acid
In amino acids, the components of this are the variable part
What is the R-group
Cytosine, Uracil and Thymine are these
What are pyrimidines?
The double bonds in this type of fatty acid forms kinks in the fatty acid tails, preventing adjacent lipids from packing tightly
What are unsaturated fatty acids
Humans have Enzymes that can break apart the A Glyosidic linkages of starch but not these found in cellulose
What are B Glyosidic linkages
Fatty acids and glycerol are the components of these
What are triaglycerols or triglycerides
Changing a single amino acid in a chain means you are changing the primary structure, affecting its
function, or biological activity
Adenine and Guanine are these
What are purines
Energy storage, vital organ protection, and insulation are functions of this
What is fat
This polysaccharide is important for plant structure
What is cellulose
Hydrophobic with four aromatic carbon rings, these can function as important components of cell membranes and as signaling molecules.
What are steroids
The alpha helix and beta-pleated sheet is found in this level of the protein structure
What is secondary
Chargaff's rules say that DNA has complimentary base pairing, meaning that a purine will always pair with this
What is a pyrimidine
Amylopectin contain these kinds of glycosidic linkages
What are α 1,6-glycosidic linkages
Excess sugar found in this form is often stored in the muscles or liver
What is glycogen
Vegetable oil is a liquid at room temp, while animal fat is solid due to more of these types of bonds
What are double carbon bonds
These proteins have antibody activity
What are immunoglobulins
DNA is found in this shape
What is a double helix
Cohesion is where water sticks to itself, and when water sticks to something else it is known as
What is Adhesion
This type of sugar is found alongside nitrogenous bases and phosphate in DNA or RNA
What is a pentose sugar
These fatty acids do not contain double bonds, have a high melting point, are solid at room temperature, and are mostly animal fats
What are saturated fatty acids
Denaturation can happen when there is a chemical change, a change in pH, or a change in this
What is temperature
DNA runs in this direction
What is 5' to 3'
One property of water is that its frozen form is less this than its liquid form
What is dense
