Introduction to Organic Molecules
A person that lacks the enzyme lactase is said to be this...
Lactose intolerant
The monomer of sugar is called this.
monosaccharides
This long chain of hydrocarbons is hydrophobic
lipids
These can be found in many shapes and are involved in nearly every dynamic function in cells
Enzymes or proteins
this is the monomer of nucleic
nucleotides
Carbon can make this many bonds.
4
This reaction builds larger molecules by removing a water molecule.
dehydration reaction
This fatty acid has 3 tails with a double bond on one of those tails
unsaturated fat
Proteins are composed of diferring arrangements of these.
Amino acinds
This is found as a double helix and is the molecule of inheritance
DNA
This chemical has the same molecular formula but different structures.
Isomers
Starch, cellulose, and chitin are all examples of this.
Carbohydrates
This fatty acid has three tails and is solid at room temperature.
saturated fat
Amino acids are the monomer of this
Protein
this guarantees precise replication of DNA, ensuring that information is transmitted every time a cell divides.
Complementary base pairing
Straight, branched, and rings
Cellulose can be found here.
Plant cell walls
This fatty acid is associated with health risks.
Trans fats
This is the process by which a protein loses its shape therefore making it dysfunctional.
denaturation
Thee milk sugar, lactose, is hydrolyzed by this enzyme, a protein.
Lactase
hydroxide, cabonyl, carboxyl, anime, phosphate, and methyl are all called this.
Functional group
What molecules give up the water molecule in a dehydration reaction
Hydroxide ion and hydrogen ion.
These are components of cell membranes
phospholipids
All amino acids contain these 2 functional groups and a hydrogen ion.
Amino group and carboxyl group
This is the belief that heritable information only flows in one direction from DNA to RNA to Proteins.
