This type of lipid is a component in the cell membrane.
What is a phospholipid?
3-D structure of individual polypeptide chain, formed by interactions between side chains.
What is tertiary structure?
What is a sugar phosphate backbone.
This has three main types, a starch, a glycogen, and cellulose.

An amino acid found in arthropod exoskeletons, fungal cell walls, and vertebrate skeletal systems
What is glucosamide?
What can happen when nonpolar molecules like fatty acids still have areas with weak positive and negative charges
What is a van der Waals interaction?
Disruption in 2nd, 3rd, or 4th structure of a protein resulting in loss of shape and function.
What is denaturation?
These nitrogenous bases make up purines.
