Basics of Proteins
They are the building blocks of proteins.
What are amino acids?
Proteins that speed up chemical reactions.
What are enzymes?
This biomolecule is made of nucleotides.
What is a nucleic acid?
This sugar is found in RNA but not in DNA.
What is ribose?
The function of DNA.
What is storing genetic information?
This is the process of removing water to form peptide bonds
What is Dehydration Synthesis?
This protein hormone lowers blood sugar.
What is insulin?
Enzymes belong to this biomolecule group.
What are proteins?
The sugar found in DNA.
What is deoxyribose?
The function of RNA.
What is helping make proteins?
The bond that links amino acids together.
What is a peptide bond?
The main role of hemoglobin.
What is transporting oxygen?
DNA and RNA are examples of this.
What are nucleic acids?
The base that pairs with adenine in DNA.
What is thymine?
What type of bond links the BASES of nucleic acid?
What is a hydrogen bond?
This is the simplest amino acid.
What is glycine?
Antibodies belong to this category of protein function.
What is defense?
Hemoglobin belongs to this type of biomolecule.
What is a protein?
The structure of DNA.
What is a double helix?
What are the pyrimidine bases (single-ring)?
What are Cytosine, Thymine, and Uracil?
Proteins are sometimes called the body’s “___ blocks.”
What are building blocks?
The part of an enzyme where the substrate attaches itself and the reaction happens.
What is Active site?
This group can store genetic information and also help with protein synthesis.
What are nucleic acids?
The base found in RNA but not in DNA.
What is uracil?
This protein hormone helps regulate blood sugar by allowing cells to take in glucose.
What is insulin?
