100

Two hydrogen atoms covalently bonded to an oxygen atom

What is water made up of?

100

Glucose (dextrose), fructose (levulose), galactose

What are the monomers of carbohydrates (monosaccharides)?

100
Linked together by condensation to form polypeptides
What are amino acids?
100

The genetic material of the cell and are composed of recurring monomeric units called nucleotides.

What are nucleic acids?

100
Process in which one strand will be from the original template molecule and one strand will be newly synthesized
What is a semi-conservative process / What is DNA replication?
200

Cohesive, adhesive, thermal and solvent properties of water

What explains 4 properties of water explained by hydrogen bonding?

200

Sucrose, lactose; cellulose, starch

What are the polymers of carbohydrates (polysaccharides)?

200
Formed between the amine and carboxylic acid groups of adjacent amino acids
What are peptide bonds?
200

Stable double stranded form that stores the genetic blueprint for cells

What is DNA?

200
Unwinds the double helix and separates the two polynucleotide strands; does this by breaking the hydrogen bonds that exist between complementary base pairs
What is the helicase?
300

One substance is polar and can form intermolecular hydrogen bonds while the other is non-polar and can only form weak dispersion forces between its molecules.

What is the difference between water and methane?

300

Saturated, monounsaturated, polyunsaturated

What are the types of fatty acids?

300
Occur when the amino acid sequence folds into a coil / spiral arrangement
What are alpha helices?
300
More versatile single stranded form that transfers the genetic information for decoding
What is RNA?
300
Synthesizes new strands from the two parental template strands; cleaves the two excess phosphates and uses the energy released to link the nucleotide to the new strand
What is the DNA polymerase?
400

The ability of like molecules to stick together; explain water's surface tension

What are the cohesive properties of water?

400

mass in kg/ (height in meters)2

What is the calculation fro BMI?

400
A structural change in a protein that results in the loss (usually permanent) of its biological properties.
What is denaturation?
400

One structure contains adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine, while the other structure contains adenine, guanine, cytosine and uracil.

What is the difference between DNA and RNA?

400
One process refers to the synthesis of mRNA from DNA with the help of the enzyme RNA polymerase while another process refers to the conversion of mRNA to a specific amino acid chain (polypeptide).
What is the difference between transcription and translation?
500

Water loving and fear of water

What are hydrophilic and hydrophobic? 

500

Carbohydrates are easier to transport in the blood; property of a solid, liquid, or gaseous chemical substance called solute to dissolve in a solid, liquid, or gaseous solvent

What is solubility?

500
A component of the connective tissue of animals (most abundant protein in mammals).
What is collagen?
500

The structural organization of the DNA molecule was correctly proposed in 1953.

Who are James Watson and Francis Crick?

500
The set of rules by which information encoded within mRNA sequences is converted into amino acid sequences (polypeptides) by living cells.
What is the genetic code?
