H-TWO-OH
This bond forms between the slightly positive sides of the hydrogen and the slight negative side of an adjacent water molecule.
What is a hydrogen bond?
This is the monomer of carbohydrates.
What are monosaccharides?
These are the two monomers of lipids.
What are fatty acids and glycerol?
This is the monomer of proteins.
What are amino acids?
This is the monomer of nucleic acids.
What are nucleotides?
This bond forms between the hydrogen and oxygen atoms within the water molecule?
What is a covalent bond?
What is hydrolysis?
What is a phospholipid?
Because the R group has the charge, the amino acid will have this property.
What is being polar?
These are the three components of a nucleotide.
What are a nitrogenous base, pentose sugar, and phosphate group?
This property makes water sticky to other water molecules?
These are the elements found in all carbohydrates.
What are C, H, and O?
This type of lipid is used by birds to waterproof their feathers.
What is wax?
This structure forms from the interaction of hydrogen bonds between amino acids. It can make alpha coils or beta sheets.
What is a secondary structure?
This nucleic acid is found in the nucleus of the cell.
What is DNA?
This property of water allows some organisms to maintain a constant body temperature.
What is evaporative cooling?
This carbohydrate builds insects exoskeletons.
What is chitin?
What is an unsaturated fat?
This bond forms between amino acids.
What are peptide bonds?
This property of water allows it to absorb a lot of heat energy before the temperature changes.
What is a high specific heat?
This carbohydrate is a complex molecule that provides short term energy storage in plants.
What is starch?
What are steroids or cholesterol?
The protein's structure determines this
What is the protein's function?
This nucleic acid moves energy.
What is ATP?
