Carbohydrates
What is the monomer of carbs?
Monosaccharide
What are two parts that make up a lipid?
Glycerol head and fatty acid tail
What is the monomer of proteins?
Amino acids
What is the monomer of nucleic acids?
Nucleotide
This property of water, an attraction between water molecules themselves, is responsible for surface tension.
Cohesion
What is the storage in animal cells called?
(Double points)
Glycogen
A triglyceride is formed from one molecule of glycerol and three of these monomers.
Fatty acids
What do proteins do over and over again to create more complex structures?
Twist and fold
What is Thymine replaced with when you go RNA to DNA? (Double points)
Uracil
This term describes water's ability to dissolve many polar and ionic substances, earning it the nickname "the universal solvent."
Polarity
This polysaccharide is the primary way plants store energy, and it's digestible by humans.
Starch
The structure of the long straight tails allow them to stack
What determines the function of a protein?
Its shape
Please give me the complimentary DNA strand to go with the following code:
AAT CGC TGG CAA
TTA GCG ACC GTT
This property is an attraction between water molecules and other substances, like the glass of a cup, and it works with cohesion to create capillary action.
Adhesion
This structural polysaccharide, a key component of the cell walls in plants, is the most abundant organic molecule on Earth and cannot be digested by humans.
Cellulose
The presence of at least one carbon-carbon double bond in a fatty acid chain creates a "kink," making the lipid fluid at room temperature and classifying it as this type.
Unsaturated fat
This type of protein functions as a biological catalyst, speeding up chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy without being consumed in the process. (double points)
Enzyme
Two differences between RNA and DNA (beyond just the name)
Double stranded vs single stranded
Genetic blue print vs Protein creation
Deoxyribose sugar vs Ribose sugar
ATCG vs AUCG bases
Which property of water means it takes a lot of energy to heat up water?
High specific heat
The polysaccharide chitin helps protect the outer coating of insects. What is this outside called?
Exoskeleton
What is the bilayer called in our cells where you have the hydrophobic tails facing inwards, and the hydrophilic heads facing outwards
Phospholipid bilayer
What is a nucleotide made out of? (3 parts)
Nitrogenous base, 5 carbon sugar, phosphate group
This property of water is responsible for allowing water molecules to go against gravity.
