Bond. Atomic Bond.
This subatomic particle determines the identity of an element.
What is a proton?
This is the main purpose of both lipid and carbohydrate molecules.
What is energy storage?
This "site" in an enzyme binds to a substrate.
What is an active site?
This type of membrane transport requires ATP to move molecules against their concentration gradients.
What is primary active transport?
This cell structure is found in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
What is ribosomes? Or what is cell membrane? Or what is cytoplasm?
These bonds between different water molecules are possible because water is a polar molecule.
What are hydrogen bonds?
Sucrose, made up of two monosaccharides, is an example of this type of carbohydrate.
What is a disaccharide?
Proteins are connected by this type of bond between the amino and carboxyl groups of different amino acids.
What are peptide bonds?
This type of membrane protein is embedded in the phospholipid bilayer.
What is an integral membrane protein?
What is the nucleus?
This property of water explains how some animals are able to cool off in hot weather.
What is high specific heat?
This polysaccharide is branched and stores energy in plant cells.
What is starch?
Electrically charged amino acid side groups can form this type of bond with a side group of the opposite electrical charge.
What is an ionic bond?
Exposing a red blood cell to hypertonic solution will have this effect on the red blood cell.
What is shriveling?
This cell structure provides support to plant cells, but is not found as part of animal cells.
What is the cell wall?
Phosphorus atoms can make covalent bonds with this number of hydrogen atoms.
What is three?
These two molecules are the main building blocks of lipids.
What are fatty acids and glycerol?
This type of enzyme regulation occurs when an inhibitor binds to a site other than the enzyme's active site.
What is allosteric regulation?
This type of vesicle transport is described as the cell nonspecifically intaking fluids through endocytosis.
What is pinocytosis?
This is the function of the smooth ER.
What is lipid synthesis and calcium ion storage?
The first law of thermodynamics.
What is the law of thermodynamics describing energy not being created or destroyed?
DNA nucleotides consist of this poentose sugar.
What is deoxyribose?
This level of protein structure is defined by the interactions between R groups of amino acids, forming the 3D shape of the protein.
What is tertiary structure?
Shorter phospholipid carbon chains result in this effect on membrane fluidity.
What is increasing?
This cytoskeleton element is made up of actin and involved in muscle cell contractions.
What are microfilaments?
