Carbohydrates
What is a monosaccharide?
This characteristic of lipids indicates that they are incapable of being dissolved in water.
What is insoluble?
Monomer units of protein polymers are called this.
This nucleic acid contains the pentose: ribose.
What is RNA?
Enzymes work by decreasing this value.
What is activation energy?
Two glucoses bonded together form this disaccharide?
Maltose
This lipid forms the membrane of cells.
What is a phospholipid?
This is the human body's third source of energy.
What are proteins?
The backbone of DNA is made of these two molecules.
Sugar & phosphate
What is a coenzyme?
The name given to carbohydrate monomer units that form 6 Carbon rings. Also the name given to 5 Carbon rings.
What is a hexose? pentose?
The presence of double bonds or the lack of hydrogen bonds to carbon indicate this categorization of fatty acids.
What is an unsaturated fatty acid?
The "NH2" of amino acids is given this group name.
What is an amino group?
This nucleic acid serves as the library or blue print of information.
What is DNA?
This type of inhibition occurs when the inhibitor binds onto the substrate bonding site.
What is competitive inhibition?
In humans, excess carbohydrates are stored as this.
What is glycogen?
This molecule serves as a precursor to steroids/hormones/
What is cholesterol?
This is the name given to the bond shared between amino acids.
What is a peptide bond?
Monomer of nucleic acid
Nucleotide
Enzymes are said to undergo this process if its environment is not optimal for enzymatic functioning.
What is denaturation?
The name of the bond shared between monosaccharides.
What are glyosidic bonds?
This lipid serves as a signaling molecule between cells.
What is a steroid/hormone?
This group of an amino acid defines what the amino acid is.
What is the R group/variable group?
In RNA, this base bonds to adenine.
What is uracil?
This type of inhibition occurs when the inhibitor binds another site other than the substrate bonding site.
What is non-competitive inhibition?
