Lipids
What is a steroid?
This term indicates that a molecule is not soluble in water.
What is hydrophobic?
The name for many linked amino acids.
What is a polypeptide?
The stage of digestion where we actually eat food.
What is ingestion?
Two functions of lipids.
What are energy storage, structure, and hormones/communication?
This is the type of bond that forms between water molecules due to their polarity.
What is a hydrogen bond?
The number of types of protein monomers.
What is 20 amino acids?
The name for two monomers of a carbohydrate linked together.
What is a disaccharide?
Patterns of behavior/things we can only see in biology if we look at the bigger picture (cannot be seen in studying individual parts alone)
What are emergent properties?
A fatty acid that has a double bond in its structure.
What is an unsaturated fatty acid?
The difference between different types of amino acids.
One function of nucleic acids and two functions of carbohydrates.
What is nucleic acids storing genetic information and carbohydrates storing energy or acting as structure?
Something included in the Total Carbohydrates label on a Nutrition Facts sheet that we cannot absorb/digest.
What is dietary fiber?
The difference between the head and tails of a phospholipid.
The head is hydrophilic (because of the charged phosphate group) while the tails are hydrophobic.
The number of valence electrons on a typical carbon atom.
What are four valence electrons?
What are signaling/hormones, structural support, movement, transport, immunity, enzymes/reactions, and more?
At least two differences between DNA and RNA.
What is DNA being a double helix while RNA is single, DNA and RNA having different sugars, and RNA containing U (uracil) while DNA contains T (thymine)?
Two possible micronutrient deficiencies in the US.
The molecule that is attached to fatty acids in both fats and phospholipids.
What is glycerol?
What is the property of water that allows plants to uptake water from the ground & changes the way water behaves when a straw is added to a drink? (NOT A/C)
What is capillary action?
Two things that can lead to denaturation.
The part of a nucleotide that varies/creates the code of DNA and RNA.
A substance that helps maintain steady pH in solutions by donating or accepting protons when acids or bases are added to the solution.
What is a buffer?
