shape into alpha helix or beta sheet
What building blocks are proteins made of?
amino acids
what are the 4 protein structures?
primary , secondary , tertiary , and quaternary structure
glycogen
storage form of energy for animals
why is saturated solid at room temp?
more compacted and can stack on each other
saturated fat
fatty acids that have NO double bonds
solid at room temp (butter)
catalyst
substance that alters the speed of chemical reaction and not used up in the process
polypeptide
when peptide form a chain
what are enzymes ?
special class of proteins
in what structure do they turn 3-D
tertiary
are lipids hydrophobic?
yes, they don't mix (oil in water)
denature
proteins loses shape/function
What building blocks is DNA made out of ?
nucleotides
what is lipids a fancy word for ?
fat
unsaturated fat
fatty acids that have at least one double bond
liquid at room temp (oil)
pyrimidines
single ring (dna or rna not both)
quaternary structure
tertiary form together with another tertiary structure
how do proteins form?
when amino acids bond together
peptide bond
What are the nucleic acids?
DNA and RNA
which structure do the chains starts crossing / interacting with each other.
primary structure
what is the main purpose of lipids ?
to store energy
purines
double ring (dna and rna)
cellulose
major component of the plant cell wall
